godfather syndrome 

When someone likes the famous "Godfather" movies (originally a book by Mario Puzo and made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola) so much that they become convinced that they are really a Mafia boss and try to act like they've just finished running their shooting scenes. Symptoms may include constant quotations, dressing like one of the Dons, obsessive interest in Sicily, listening to Tarantella over and over again, and becoming creepily and quietly aggressive.

Fairy Godmother Syndrome 

Such in the case of the classic fairytale, Cinderella, F.G.S. is the overwhelming urge and want to help out those less fortunate, usually if they are in desperate need for caring or guidance. Sometimes being used as a substitute for having a stable, romantic relationship with someone themselves, the caregiver themselves may feel the need to latch onto the dreams and aspirations of the person they're helping, as well as in some cases even develop a slight romantic interest for the subject they're helping.
The poor girl's F.G.S. (Fairy Godmother Syndrome) practically compelled her to help out all her friends, only to soon find each one of them living happily ever after, and no one to help her in her darkest hour.
