[Uma] This is Auradon, the kingdom where all your favorite fairy tales are true.

It was formed 30 years ago, when Beast married Belle.

And how do you think they got all those characters to coexist?

Simple.

By banishing the villains to the Isle of the Lost.

That’s where I grew up.

You might know my name.

Uma, daughter of the big, bad sea witch, Ursula, and a pirate queen not to be messed with.

I helped Mal and Ben free the isle, and now that they’re on the throne, things are a lot more fair around here.

But they’re sailing off with Jay and Evie on a new adventure, forming alliances with distant lands.

And guess who they left in charge while they’re gone?

[chuckles]

That’s right. Villains rule.

And you can bet I’m gonna shake things up around here.

Mmm.

Ooh. I’ve been to the principal’s office before, but never like this.

I made us tea.

Mmm.

[Fairy Godmother] Sit, please.

Oh, it’s not an easy job, Uma. But I hope you find it fulfilling.

[Uma] Hmm.

I’ve run a crew of cut-throats since I was sixteen.

I think I can handle a few prep school kids.

Pirates!

[pirates chattering indistinctly]

You just enjoy retirement.

I’m not retiring. I…

Are you sure you wanna put that up there?

[pirate] Arrr!

I’ve been chosen as the new president of Auradon University, and to ensure a seamless transition,

I have prepared a list, color-coded by priority.Says fairy Godmother

My first order of business will be making sure kids from all the kingdoms are welcome to attend AP.

Oh, well, that’s already our school policy.

I said “all.”

Even Wonderland.

Wonderland? [chuckles] No.

Oh, no.

Wonderland is hostile.

[Uma] I’ve heard. Their queen’s a tyrant.

The Queen of Hearts refused to join Auradon when we united.

She raised an army and we had to wall off the rabbit hole.

Oh, dear.

If only Queen Mal and King Ben were here.

Well, too bad they’re not.And why do you think Mal put me in charge if she didn’t wanna shake things up around here?

[chuckles] No offense, Fairy G, but you don’t know Mal and Ben like I do.

I used to hate Mal.

I’m sure you’ve heard, but you know what happened?

We reconciled.
