Flora, Fauna and Merryweather

Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are the three good fairies who live with Master Yen Sid in his tower in Kingdom Hearts II.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
The three fairies have been shown in recent scans to talk to Ventus about Aurora during his visit.

Kingdom Hearts II
The three fairies give Sora his new outfit after he wakes from his year-long sleep, as well as the Star Seeker Keyblade and the ability to use Drive. When Diablo brings Maleficent's robe to Yen Sid's Tower, the fairies' memory accidentally bring her back to life.

Origin
The three good fairies of the land first appear in Sleeping Beauty at Princess Aurora's birthday celebration to bestow upon her their gifts. Flora gives her the gift of beauty to have gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the reddest rose and that she walks with springtime wherever she goes. Fauna gives her the gift of song, melody her whole life long, nightingales and troubadours that bring sweet seranades to her door.

Before Merryweather can give her a gift, Maleficent arrives and is angered that she was not invited to the celebration so she also gives a "gift" to Aurora. She curses Aurora so that before the sun sets on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. After Maleficent leaves, Merryweather gives a gift to lessen the curse so that when she pricks her finger she will only fall asleep.

After the party, the fairies plan to hide Aurora and keep her away from Maleficent until Aurora's 16th birthday. They take her to the forest, call Aurora "Briar Rose", and act mortal in front of her. They take her to the castle before the sunset of her birthday where Maleficent lures Aurora to touch a spindle of a spinning wheel. The fairies arrive to late to help her and cast a spell on all of the people in the castle so they don't find out. They go to find Prince Philip to help him defeat Maleficent and break the curse.

Trivia

 * "Flora" was the name of Walter Disney's mother.
 * Flora and Fauna are terms referring to plants and animals respectively.
 * When three fairies remember Maleficent, and went to inform Yen Sid, there were two different versions. In Japanese version, the fairies simply disappeared; in the English version, they turned into a ball of light much like in the original Disney animation.
 * The scene where the fairies are giving Sora his new clothes is a reference to Sleeping Beauty, as they keep altering his first-game outfit from pink, blue, and green. After a few cycles of this, Sora gets irritated and asks, "Would you just decide?" After this, they all work together and give Sora his official Kingdom Hearts II outfit. The only difference is that Fauna, very politely, joined the argument.
 * It is unknown why they are serving Yen Sid, even though their world was restored after Kingdom Hearts.
