In season 2 was brave, in the season 3 was cute (but stupid with Mulan) and now I discover She said only lies and She doesn't understand anything about vegeance or love. Maybe we will discover that Aurora doesn't love Phillip, they're only boyfriends. She's only a GIRL. I'm disappointed, little Aurora

I think it's just the most depressing retcon they've done so far. Or maybe she was rushing to look for Phillip because Maleficent threatened him and that's the moment she got prickled, so in her mind she technically did so? (This is possibly my most far-fetched comment ever, but alas…)
