Well, as far as we have seen, Maleficent is only a witch. Witches are not born, they are made through learning magic, or it can be assumed since Regina learned magic, and also became a witch / magic user. Maleficent is only immortal now under the special circumstances of the curse in the sense she can never truly die, and can continously regenerate.
