In this deleted scene from The School for Good and Evil, Agatha (Sofia Wylie) learns an important lesson: The secret to true beauty.
After a secret meeting with her former best friend Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso), a tearful Agatha is consoled by Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington). The headmistress for The School for Good assures Agatha that she is very powerful and inquires about her hidden feelings for Tedros, a prince who Agatha believes is out of her league.
“I’m not beautiful,” Agatha sighs. To which Professor Dovey reveals that she just happens to be the most wished for fairy godmother in the Endless Woods (you know, the same one who turned Cinderella’s pumpkin into a carriage). But Agatha isn’t after glass slippers or magic gourds. Her only desire is to be beautiful, “beautiful enough to be loved.”
Agatha walks the halls showing off her new confidence to her awestruck schoolmates. Eager to see her beauty for herself, she rushes to a looking glass only to discover that nothing has changed about her physical appearance. That’s because, as fairy godmother Professor Dovey informs her, she has been beautiful all along. She just needed to believe it.
“True beauty comes from being happy with who you truly are,” Dovey tells her with a smile.
