Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, Baroness d'Aulnoy (1650/1651-January 14, 1705) was a French author who coined the term “{{Fairy Tale}}s”.
Madame d’Aulnoy’s personal life is mysterious, but we do know that she wrote 24 literary fairy tales in her lifetime, which mix and match folk motifs from oral tradition with her own sensibilities. She was a key pioneer in the genre as we know it today — in fact, she was the one to give it the name “Fairy Tale” (or “Contes des Fees” in her native French).
Madame d’Aulnoy’s works aren’t as well known today as some of her contemporaries, but her influence is profound. Countless tropes inextricably linked with the modern images of fairy tales: ThePowerOfLove, BeautyEqualsGoodness, {{Fairy Godmother}}s and {{Fairy Devilmother}}s, even PrinceCharming himself.

!! Examples of tropes in d'Aulnoy's ''Contes des Fées'':
* BeastAndBeauty: Many of her tales are in the "animal bridegroom" mold, where the love of a beautiful woman changes a creature into a handsome human husband. However, there are also a few transformed heroines in her tales, such as "The White Cat".
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: All of her heroes and heroines are astonishingly good-looking, and all her villains are hideously ugly. She plays with this idea slightly in "Green Serpent", a relative of "Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast" where a wicked fairy crashes a christening and curses the baby with ugliness, but it's reversed partway through the story.
* BejeweledTropes: D'Aulnoy gives detailed descriptions of all the pretty things that appear in her stories, creating a lush and luxurious fantasy world.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Fairies of all stripes appear in her stories, of varying moral allegiances. Some are beautiful and generous benefactors, others are wicked and cast curses, and others seem to work according to their own fairy-logic independent of human morals.
* PrinceCharming: She was the first to actually give this name to the male lead of her story, with Roi Charmont (literally, "King Charming") as the hero of "Literature/TheBlueBird".
* ThePowerOfLove: A recurring theme in her stories.
