In Ella Enchanted, the fairy Lucinda has a penchant for going around and giving people terrible "gifts," such as the gift of obedience she gives to Ella. Other fairies seem to agree that Lucinda is a pretty horrible person, so you've got to wonder how she's allowed to just run amok. Why don't some of the fairies who are frustrated with her behavior team up to put a stop to her reign of terror?
This fairy is clearly trouble, so it's kind of strange that the threat of her menacing gifts isn't being taken seriously in Ella Enchanted. We are, after all, talking about a kingdom that has strict laws to keep ogres, elves, and giants from gaining too much power. While this is, of course, an oppressive and terrible thing, it's still mind boggling that a country that is so wary of magical creatures would just ignore a fairy who has spent years wreaking havoc on the kingdom.
Has Lucinda actually cast a spell on the entire kingdom in Ella Enchanted that allows her to bring chaos wherever she goes without any fear of repercussions?
