- "Sweet Princess... If through this wicked witch's trick, a spindle should your finger prick, a ray of hope there may be in this, the gift I give to thee. Not in death, but just in sleep, this fateful prophecy will keep. And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love's kiss, the spell shall break."
- ― Merryweather (Disney's Sleeping Beauty)
- "True Love's Kiss. Works every time."
- ― Evie (Disney's Descendants)

Also Called
- Kiss of True Love
Capabilities
Users can break through any outside forces, including magic/curses/etc. with a simple kiss shared between two lovers. For instance, if one person is cursed into deep slumber, a kiss of true love will return that person's consciousness.
In rare cases, True Love's kiss neither has to be on the lips or between lovers (like between a parent and child).
