Cinderella (character)/Relationships

The relationships of Cinderella.
==Romance==
===Prince Charming===
Cinderella is well aware of Prince Charming's reputation and him being the son of the King, but never meets him as she lives in the village and becomes a servant to her stepfamily after her father's passing. One day, upon receiving an invitation from the King who announces he'll be hosting a ball in honor of his son, Cinderella becomes very excited as she wants to go to the ball, but not because she is interested in meeting the Prince, but because she wants to go have fun at the ball.
When Cinderella is able to go to the ball, thanks to her Fairy Godmother's help, she unintentionally attracts the attention of the Prince who becomes enchanted by her sparkling appearance and walks over to her once she enters the ballroom. Upon being greeted by the Prince, Cinderella curtsies to him and accepts his invitation to share a waltz with him while not knowing he is the Prince. The two then have some private time together as they continue their waltz and go on a stroll outside, on courtesy of the Grand Duke, during which they become completely enthralled with each other. When they are about to share a kiss, the castle's clock chimes the midnight hour, prompting Cinderella, who has lost track of time to make an excuse on not having met the Prince as she is still unaware that she has danced with the Prince himself. As Cinderella leaves abruptly, she does not tell the Prince her name and he is unable to pursue her as he is stopped by a crowd of maidens, asking him about Cinderella.
After Cinderella manages to escape the palace before the clock finishes striking midnight, she apologizes to the mice, Major, and Bruno for losing track of time before reminscing over her time at the ball, saying it was wonderful, even her dance with the Prince whom she has clearly fallen in love with. The next day, as Cinderella resumes her duties as a maid, she overhears Lady Tremaine telling Anastasia and Drizella about the news of the Grand Duke searching for the girl who has lost a glass slipper at the ball last night and whom the Prince grows madly in love with, causing Cinderella, to realize that handsome man she danced with was the Prince. Shocked at this dicovery, Cinderella drops her stepfamily's breakfast trays in the process, angering her stepmother. As she obeys her stepmother and cleans up the mess, she overhears Lady Tremaine continuing to tell her daughters that the girl who can fit the slipper would become the Prince's bride, making Cinderella happy that the Prince wishes to marry her.
As Cinderella smiles dreamily, her stepsisters become suspicious of her peculiar facial expression and upon hearing them say they have to get dressed in preparation for the Duke's arrival, Cinderella decides that she too must get ready. As Cinderella heads upstairs to her room, singing and humming the tune she and the Prince had sung at the ball all along, she unknowingly causes her stepmother to realize and figure out she is the mysterious girl at the ball. As Cinderella continues singing dreamily, her friends Jaq and Gus try to warn her of her stepmother having followed her upstairs, but realize it is too late when she catches sight of her stepmother through a mirror, slamming and locking her bedroom door in order to prevent her from trying on the glass slipper and being reunited with the Prince.
After being locked in her room, Cinderella starts crying as she believes she would see or be reunited with the Prince again. However, Jaq, Gus, the rest of her mice friends, her bird friends, and Bruno come to her rescue after Jaq and Gus manage to steal the key to her bedroom door, along with Bruno managing to scare her stepmother's cat, Lucifer away just in time. Once Jaq and Gus wedge the key under her bedroom door, Cinderella is finally able to get out of her room and head downstairs where she is able to stop the Grand Duke from leaving the château on time. Although Lady Tremaine is able to cause the glass slipper to shatter into pieces by tripping the royal herald with her cane, Cinderella's hopes of reuniting with the Prince do not disappear when she reveals she has the second glass slipper to the Duke and her stepfamily. This allows Cinderella to prove she is the Prince's true love and escape the life of misery and abuse inflicted upon her by her stepfamily.
After reuniting with the Prince, who accepts her nonetheless of learning she has been a servant, Cinderella moves into his castle, taking her mice friends, Major, and Bruno to live with her. Later on, Cinderella and the Prince get married and leave to go on their honeymoon as the kingdom celebrates their marriage. As they leave in a carriage together, Cinderella and the Prince wave goodbye to everyone in the kingdom, including Cinderella's friends, before the two of them share a kiss and live happily ever after together.
==Family==
===Her father===
Cinderella had a close relationship with her father when she was a little girl. Cinderella was deeply loved by her father who lavished every imaginable care and tenderness on her. Yet, despite trying to give Cinderella a happy life, he felt his daughter needed a mother's care after his wife had sadly passed away. As a result, Cinderella's father married Lady Tremaine and welcomed her, along with her own two daughters, Anastasia and Drizella into his château, hoping to give Cinderella an extended family that he thought his daughter deserved.
Unfortunately, sometime after his remarriage, Cinderella's father died, leaving Cinderella devastated as she cried by his deathbed. After the death of her father, Cinderella's stepfamily revealed their true cruel nature and forced her to become a servant in her home as Lady Tremaine squandered the fortune of Cinderella's father onto Anastasia and Drizella. Despite the abuse and mistreatment she endured from her stepfamily, Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind as she dreamt of finding happiness. Eventually, Cinderella was finally able to achieve happiness by keeping faith in her dreams where she married Prince Charming and escaped the life of misery she endured from her stepfamily, possibly making her late father proud of her.
===Her mother===
Like her father, Cinderella probably had a good, close relationship with her biological mother before she died. Cinderella spoke fondly of her mother where she decided to wear one of her old dresses to the royal ball. When her stepsisters destroyed her dress out of jealousy and resentment, Cinderella was heartbroken as the dress was presumably one of the few reminders she had of her biological mother.
After meeting her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella was overjoyed to see her mother's dress be turned into a glittering ball gown as she was now able to wear something of her mother's to the ball. Eventually, Cinderella was finally able to escape the life of misery she endured from her stepfamily where she reunited with and married Prince Charming, possibly making her late mother proud of her for managing to remain kind and gentle while escaping from an abusive, unloving household.
==Friends and Allies==
===Jaq and Gus===
Ever since her father's death and being forced to work as a servant by her stepfamily, Cinderella befriended Jaq who looked up to her as mother or a big sister figure. When Cinderella grew up as a teenager, she met Gus one day after he made himself at home in her château, only to get caught in a mouse trap. Cinderella freed Gus and upon noticing how scared he was, she asked Jaq to explain to him she wasn't trying to harm him. Once Gus realized Cinderella was friendly, she gave him some clothes and his name, which he took a liking towards both his new outfit and name.
Later, Gus joined the rest of the mice in getting some breakfast from Cinderella outside at the barnyard. When Gus struggled to get food due to some chickens eating all the corn pieces laying on the ground, Cinderella drove all of the chickens and generously gave Gus lots of corn so he would have enough to eat. Later, when Gus accidentally scared her younger stepsister Anastasia by hiding under her teacup on her breakfast tray, Cinderella was not angry with him as she knew he was hiding from her stepmother's cat, Lucifer who had been chasing him when he had entered the château with a handful of corn pieces he got from Cinderella.
Later, after receiving an invitation from the king who's hosting a royal ball, inviting every eligible maiden in the kingdom, Cinderella showed Jaq and Gus her mother's old dress that she planned to wear to the ball. When her stepfamily started giving her so many chores, Jaq and Gus both knew they were doing it on purpose so Cinderella wouldn't have enough time to fix up her dress. When the other mice decided to fix up Cinderella's dress themselves in order to surprise, Jaq and Gus happily went along to help work on the dress as they both cared about Cinderella and wanted her to be happy. Jaq and Gus went through great lengths to help redesign Cinderella's dress where they encountered Lucifer to get the materials they needed before joining their friends in fixing up the dress. When they were done with the dress, they showed it to a grateful Cinderella who thanked Jaq, Gus, and the rest of her friends for their kindness.
As Cinderella showed her new gown to her stepfamily, she was watched by Jaq and Gus who began to suspect when her stepmother, Lady Tremaine menacingly approached her while speaking in a cold tone. When Anastasia and her sister, Drizella grew hostile upon seeing Cinderella wearing the materials they discarded with her dress, Gus tried to step in and attack them in order to protect Cinderella, only to be held back by Jaq as he knew they were no match for them. After Cinderella's stepsisters tore her dress apart, Cinderella ran off to the garden and started crying where she was watched by an equally saddened Jaq and Gus. However, upon the sudden appearance of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, Jaq, and Gus were amazed to see the Fairy Godmother make her wand appear in thin air before watching her to turn a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage. Then, Jaq and Gus, along with two other mice, were turned into horses by the Fairy Godmother so they could pull Cinderella's carriage and take her to the ball.
On the stroke of midnight, Jaq and Gus helped Cinderella escape from some royal guards who were pursuing her after she left the palace in a hurry. Once the spell was broken, Cinderella, Jaq, Gus, Major, and Bruno hid behind some bushes where Cinderella apologized to Jaq, Gus, and the rest of her friends for losing track of time. However, Jaq and Gus did not seem to mind as they were glad to hear Cinderella had fun at the ball before pointing out to her she was still wearing one of glass slippers which did not disappear with the rest of magic, making Cinderella even more happy as she now had something to remember her time at the ball.
The next day, Cinderella, Jaq, and Gus heard Lady Tremaine announce the news of the Grand Duke having every maiden in the kingdom try on Cinderella's missing glass slipper on behalf of Prince Charming who had fallen in love with Cinderella and wished to marry her. When Cinderella's lovestruck behavior at hearing this news caused her stepmother to realize she was the maiden the Prince fell in love with at the ball, she failed to catch Jaq and Gus's warnings in time as Lady Tremaine had followed her up to the attic and locked her in her bedroom. This prompted Jaq and Gus to try and rescue Cinderella by stealing her bedroom key from Lady Tremaine so Cinderella can reveal her identity as the mysterious maiden and escape from her stepfamily's abuse.
As Lady Tremaine and her daughters met with the Grand Duke, Jaq and Gus managed to steal the key from Lady Tremaine with extreme difficulty, but they managed to succeed without getting caught. When Cinderella saw Jaq and Gus have managed to retrieve the key from her stepmother, she was overjoyed and thankful, but when Lucifer had captured Gus, Cinderella became horrified and pleaded with Lucifer to let her friend go, to no avail. As the mice and birds fought Lucifer, Cinderella realized Bruno might be the only one to get rid of Lucifer and save Gus so she ordered two birds to go get the dog before it was too late. Once Bruno was able to drive Lucifer away, Jaq and Gus were able to help Cinderella free herself by slipping the key under her bedroom door.
This allowed Cinderella to present herself to the Grand Duke and show her second glass slipper as proof of being the girl Prince Charming fell in love with, causing Jaq, Gus, the birds, and the rest of the mice to rejoice over Cinderella's victory. After Cinderella tried on the glass slipper, escaping the life of misery inflicted by her stepfamily, she took Jaq and Gus to live with her at the palace where they attended her wedding to Prince Charming and happily watched the newlyweds share a kiss as they rode off to go on their honeymoon.
===The Mice===
After being forced to become a servant by her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, after the death of her father, Cinderella befriended the mice that lived within the walls of her home. She would protect the mice from her stepmother's cat, Lucifer, rescue them from mouse traps, and give them some food and clothes to wear. The mice in return would help Cinderella in any way they can with her morning routines or chores.
One day, when Cinderella received an invitation from the king who's hosting a royal ball, inviting every eligible maiden in the kingdom, Cinderella showed the mice her mother's old dress that she planned to wear to the ball where she even agreed with the mice's opinion that the dress needed to be redesigned due to it being old-fashioned. However, when her stepfamily started giving her chores just so she could not go to the ball, the mice all decided to redesign Cinderella's dress for her because they cared about her so much that they wanted her to go to the ball so she could be happy. After fixing up the dress, the mice, along with some birds surprised Cinderella by showing it to her when she finished doing all of her chores. Amazed and grateful to see her dress being redesigned for her, Cinderella thanked the mice and the birds for their kindness.
However, after her stepsisters destroy her dress, preventing her from going to the royal ball, Cinderella ran outside to the garden and started crying where she was sadly watched by the mice. However, upon the sudden appearance of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella and the mice were amazed to see the Fairy Godmother make her wand appear in thin air before watching her to turn a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage. Then, two mice, along with Jaq and Gus, were turned into horses by the Fairy Godmother so they could pull Cinderella's carriage and take her to the ball.
On the stroke of midnight, the mice helped Cinderella escape from some royal guards who were pursuing her after she left the palace in a hurry. Once the spell was broken, Cinderella, the mice, Major, and Bruno hid behind some bushes where Cinderella apologized to the mice and the rest of her friends for losing track of time. However, the mice did not seem to mind as they were just glad to hear Cinderella had fun at the ball.
The next day, after Cinderella was locked in her room by Lady Tremaine who wanted to prevent her from meeting the Grand Duke and trying on her missing glass slipper that she lost at the ball, the mice fought Lucifer after he had captured Gus and the key to Cinderella's bedroom door, in attempts to save Cinderella. As the mice and birds' attempts in fighting Lucifer failed, Cinderella realized Bruno might be the only one to get rid of the cat so she ordered two birds to go get the dog before it was too late. Once Bruno was able to drive Lucifer away, the mice saved Gus who, along with Jaq, was able to help Cinderella free herself by slipping the key under her bedroom door.
This allowed Cinderella to present herself to the Grand Duke and show her second glass slipper as proof of being the girl Prince Charming fell in love with, causing the mice and the birds to rejoice over Cinderella's victory. After Cinderella tried on the glass slipper, escaping the life of misery inflicted by her stepfamily, she took all of her mice friends to live with her at the palace where they happily attended her wedding to Prince Charming and watched her and Prince Charming leave to go on their honeymoon.
===The Birds===
After being forced to become a servant by her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, after the death of her father, Cinderella befriended several birds who had built nests around her château. As Cinderella grew up, she enjoyed the birds' company where she would sometimes be playful towards them and shower them with affection. The birds, in return, adored Cinderella where they would enjoy listening to her singing and help make her bed after waking up in the morning. 
One day, when Cinderella received an invitation from the king who's hosting a royal ball, inviting every eligible maiden in the kingdom, Cinderella showed the birds her mother's old dress that she planned to wear to the ball. However, when her stepfamily started giving her chores just so she could not go to the ball, the birds and the mice decided to redesign her dress for her as they cared about Cinderella so much that they wanted her to go to the ball and be happy. After fixing up the dress, the birds and the mice surprised Cinderella by showing it to her when she finished doing all of her chores. Amazed and grateful to see her dress being redesigned for her, Cinderella thanked the birds and the mice for their kindness.
However, after her stepsisters destroy her dress, preventing her from going to the royal ball, Cinderella ran outside to the garden and started crying where she was sadly watched by her bird friends. When her Fairy Godmother appeared and helped Cinderella get ready for the ball, both Cinderella and the birds were amazed when the Fairy Godmother transformed her torn up dress into a beautiful, new gown. When Cinderella left to attend the ball, the birds watched her go, looking happy that she was now able to go ball.
The next day, after Cinderella was locked in her room by Lady Tremaine who wanted to prevent her from meeting the Grand Duke and trying on her missing glass slipper that she lost at the ball, the birds tried to come to Cinderella's rescue by dropping cups and plates onto her stepmother's cat, Lucifer after he had captured Gus and the key to Cinderella's bedroom door. When Cinderella realized her dog, Bruno may be the only one to get rid of Lucifer, she ordered the birds to go get Bruno so he could scare Lucifer away. The birds were able to find and lead Bruno up to the attic on time where he angrily attacked Lucifer, allowing the mice to free Cinderella.
Because of the birds' actions, they allowed Cinderella to present herself to the Grand Duke and show her second glass slipper as proof of being the girl Prince Charming had falled in love with, causing the birds and the rest of the mice to rejoice over Cinderella's victory. After Cinderella tried on the glass slipper, escaping the life of misery inflicted by her stepfamily, the birds accompanied Cinderella and stayed being friends with her as she went to live at the King's Castle after her marriage to Prince Charming.
===Bruno===
As a young girl, Cinderella first met Bruno when he was a puppy after he was given to her as a gift from her father. After her father's tragic death, which led to her stepmother Lady Tremaine forcing Cinderella to becoming a servant upon revealing her true cold-hearted nature, Cinderella kept Bruno in her home as he was her dog. However, Cinderella and Bruno were both mistreated by Lady Tremaine's cat, Lucifer with Cinderella having to keep Bruno's presence a secret from her stepfamily, mostly because her stepmother barred Bruno from the château due to owning a pet cat.
As Cinderella and Bruno grew up together over the years, Cinderella gave her dog much love and affection where Bruno would always be happy to see Cinderella whenever he woke up in the mornings. One day, after Cinderella woke Bruno up from a dream he was having of chasing and catching Lucifer, she reprimanded how bad it was to dream something like that and he should learn to like cats, much to Bruno's disgust, as Cinderella did not want her dog to get in trouble with her stepmother if he ever did chased and caught Lucifer. When Bruno got framed by Lucifer for attacking him, Cinderella sent her dog while giving him a kind lecture, knowing full well how hard it must be for Bruno to try living under Lady Tremaine's rules just like how she struggled as well.
Later, after her stepsisters destroy her dress, preventing her from going to the royal ball, Cinderella ran outside to the garden and started crying where she was sadly watched by Bruno as he felt bad for what happened to her and how she couldn't go to the ball to due to her stepfamily's cruelty. However, after Cinderella's Fairy Godmother appeared who helped her get ready for the ball, Bruno was turned into a footman so he could help escort Cinderella to the ball, much to his delight.
On the stroke of midnight, Bruno helped Cinderella get into her coach before he got on it so they can escape the palace. Once the spell was broken, Cinderella, Bruno, Major, and the mice hid from some royal guards who were chasing them before Cinderella apologized to Bruno and the rest of her friends for losing track of time. However, Bruno did not seem to mind as he happy and pleased to hear how much fun Cinderella had during the ball, as he wanted Cinderella.
The next day, Cinderella had been locked in her room by Lady Tremaine in order to prevent her from meeting the Grand Duke and trying on her missing glass slipper. When Jaq and Gus have stolen the key from Lady Tremaine, but Lucifer has trapped it and Gus under a teacup before he can free her, Cinderella realized Bruno may be the only one to get rid of Lucifer as all of the mice and birds' efforts attempts to fight off Lucifer fail. She ordered her bird friends to go get Bruno so he can get rid of Lucifer before it was too late. Bruno managed to get to the attic in time and attacked Lucifer, finally getting back at him for all the years of misery the cat inflicted on him and Cinderella. Once Bruno managed to scare Lucifer away, the mice managed to free Cinderella and she was able to meet with the Grand Duke, revealing her identity as the mysterious maiden at the ball once she showed and tried on her second glass slipper. Once Cinderella was able to escape from her stepfamily, she took Bruno to live with her at the palace where he attended her wedding to Prince Charming and happily followed them as the newlyweds rode off in a carriage, going on their honeymoon.
===Major===
As a young girl, Cinderella first met Major after he was given to her as a gift from her father. After her father's tragic death, which led to her stepmother Lady Tremaine forcing Cinderella to becoming a servant upon revealing her true cold-hearted nature, Cinderella kept Major where he stayed in the château's barnyard. Cinderella and Major were both mistreated by Lady Tremaine and her daughters, Anastasia Tremaine and Drizella, but Cinderella gave Major enough love by feeding and petting him.
When her stepsisters destroyed her dress, preventing her from going to the royal ball, Cinderella ran outside to the garden and started crying where she was sadly watched by Major who felt bad for what happened to her and how she couldn't go to the ball to due to her stepfamily's cruelty. However, after Cinderella's Fairy Godmother appeared who helped her get ready for the ball, Major wanted to take part in escorting Cinderella to the ball. Although Major originally wanted to pull Cinderella's carriage, he was overjoyed when he was turned into a coachman by the Fairy Godmother in order to take Cinderella to the ball, something which Cinderella didn't seem to mind.
On the stroke of midnight, Major helped Cinderella escape from some royal guards who were pursuing her after she left the palace in a hurry. Once the spell was broken, Cinderella, Major, Bruno and the mice hid behind some bushes where Cinderella apologized to Major and the rest of her friends for losing track of time. However, Major did not seem to mind as he happy and pleased to hear how much fun Cinderella had during the ball, as he wanted Cinderella to have a good time.
The next day, Major saw some birds trying to wake up Bruno. Realizing Cinderella was in trouble, Major helped them wake up Bruno by whinnying as loud as possible so he can go confront Lucifer who had trapped Gus and Cinderella's bedroom key which was stolen from Lady Tremaine—under a teacup to prevent Cinderella from trying on her missing glass slipper and revealing herself as the maiden who Prince Charming fell in love with at the ball. Ultimately, Bruno was able to scare Lucifer away where Jaq and Gus freed Cinderella, allowing her to meet with the Grand Duke, revealing her identity as the mysterious maiden at the ball once she showed and tried on her second glass slipper. Once Cinderella was able to escape from her stepfamily, she took Major to live with her at the castle where he became one of the palace's royal horses. After Cinderella and Prince Charming were married, Major happily pulled the newlyweds' carriage so Cinderella and the Prince could spend their honeymoon together.
===Fairy Godmother===
After Cinderella was cruelly denied in going to a royal ball at the King's Castle by her stepfamily where they torn her dress, she ran off to the garden outside of her home in tears and cried alone on a bench. As she cried, Cinderella began losing faith in her dreams of escaping her stepfamily's abuse and living a better life, but her faith was still strong enough to summon her Fairy Godmother, who explained that she had arrived to help Cinderella in her hour of need. Cinderella was surprised to see her Fairy Godmother appear before as the latter comforted her. Cinderella was overjoyed to discover her Fairy Godmother's identity and became amazed when the Fairy Godmother made her magic wand appear out of thin air.
Cinderella then watched in amazement as her Fairy Godmother used her magic to turn a pumpkin into carriage, four mice into horses, Major into a coachman, and Bruno into a footman. As her Fairy Godmother helped her get ready for the ball, Cinderella waited patiently for the Fairy Godmother to fix up her tattered dress. Once her Fairy Godmother finished up her transportation for the ball, Cinderella was able to point out her ruined dress where she allowed her Fairy Godmother to measure her just to get an idea on what kind of gown she should create. Once her Fairy Godmother bestowed beautiful white dress upon Cinderella, complete with two enchanted glass slippers that only she can wear due to their small size, Cinderella immediatedly loved her new dress and the slippers, complimenting them as "a wonderful dream come true."
After being warned by her Fairy Godmother that the spell would be broken and everything would return to normal at midnight, Cinderella who was grateful of the gifts anyway, thanked her Fairy Godmother for her help and left for the ball, waving goodbye to her Fairy Godmother before the latter. Because of her Fairy Godmother's generosity, Cinderella was able to attend the ball where she met and fell in love with Prince Charming. Although her Fairy Godmother's magic disappeared exactly at midnight, Cinderella was able to keep one of her glass slippers after losing the other one, which she presented to the Grand Duke. She then tried on the slipper, revealing her identity as the mysterious maiden at the ball, allowing Cinderella to escape from her stepfamily and marry Prince Charming, living a better life with him. 
==Stepfamily==
===Lady Tremaine===
After the death of her birth mother, Cinderella's father met and married Lady Tremaine in the hopes of giving Cinderella a mother's care and an extended family so she could be happy. However, after the untimely death of her father, Cinderella discovered Lady Tremaine to be a cruel, bitter woman who was jealous of her, and forced her to become a servant, doing whatever she could to make Cinderella's life as miserable as possible. 
Despite her stepmother's cruelty, Cinderella treated her with kindness and respect. Cinderella spoke to her stepmother in a calm manner and when she was accused of putting a mouse under Anastasia's teacup, Cinderella tried to politely justify herself, but Lady Tremaine silenced her and punished her with extra chores. When receiving a invitation to a royal ball hosted by the king, Cinderella was tricked by Lady Tremaine into thinking that she could attend the ball, but gave her a lot of chores so that she didn't have time to think about what to wear. By the time a royal carriage arrived to pick up the Tremaines, Cinderella informed her stepmother of the carriage's arrival while Lady Tremaine became satisfied when Cinderella told her she was not going to the ball. However, when Cinderella showed up all dressed and ready to go, due to her mice friends fixing up a dress for her, Lady Tremaine remained calm and menacingly approached her, something which scared Cinderella who despite being kind towards her stepmother, she does fear her. When Lady Tremaine noticed that Cinderella's dress was made out of some of the materials her daughters discarded earlier, she used her daughters' own jealously over their stepsister and encouraged them to destroy Cinderella’s dress. This horrified Cinderella as she stood and watched her stepsisters destroy her dress. Once her dress had been destroyed, Cinderella was coldly bided good night by Lady Tremaine who left with her daughters to attend the ball, leaving Cinderella in tears.
Because of this act of cruelty, Cinderella nearly lost faith in achieving her dreams, but her fairy godmother was able to appear and cheer her up, as her faith had not completely faded away. With her fairy godmother's help, Cinderella was able to go to the ball where her stepfamily was unable to recognize her, but Lady Tremaine was able to notice something familiar about her, but was unable to spy on her as she danced with Prince Charming due to the Grand Duke giving them some privacy while sharing a waltz.
The next morning, Cinderella continued to be kind to her stepmother, even when she called her a "clumsy, little fool" for dropping the breakfast trays as Cinderella had been surprised to discover she had danced with Prince Charming at the ball. When Lady Tremaine revealed the Grand Duke was having every maiden try on Cinderella's missing glass slipper, Cinderella became lovestruck when her stepmother announced Prince Charming wanted to marry her if her foot was able to fit in the glass slipper she wore at the ball. Unfortunately, Cinderella's lovestruck behavior caused Lady Tremaine to realize Cinderella was the mysterious girl at the ball when she began to sing the duet she and Charming shared. Cinderella was then locked and imprisoned in her room by a furious Lady Tremaine while the Grand Duke visited her house in search for her, leaving Cinderella saddened where she began to believe she would her never escape her stepmother's abuse.
However, during the Grand Duke’s visit, Cinderella’s mice friends managed to steal back the key from Lady Tremaine and free her, who eagerly came down to try on the slipper. Lady Tremaine insisted that she was just a maid, but the Grand Duke insisted that every maiden must try on the slipper. This prompted Lady Tremaine to trip his footman, who was holding the slipper, which broke to pieces. However, this did not upset Cinderella as she revealed that she had the other slipper, which left Lady Tremaine shocked and horrified. After Cinderella tried on the slipper, revealing herself as the girl who danced with Prince Charming at the ball, Cinderella was able to escape from Tremaine’s thumb and be free from her abuse, allowing Cinderella to marry Prince Charming and live happily ever after with him.
===Anastasia Tremaine===
After her father married Lady Tremaine sometime after the death of her biological mother, Cinderella met her younger stepsister, Anastasia. Right after her father's untimely death, Cinderella discovered Anastasia's spoiled, cruel nature and became brutally abused by Anastasia, who treated her like a servant while ordering several household chores for her to do. Despite Anastasia's cruelty and abuse, Cinderella treated her younger stepsister with kindness and respect.
When Cinderella's mouse friend, Gus scared Anastasia as he was hiding from Lucifer in her teacup, Anastasia angrily accused Cinderella for pranking her and told her mother, leaving Cinderella to be wrongfully punished and given a lot more chores to complete. Later, after receiving an invitation to a royal ball hosted by the king, Cinderella was mocked by Anastasia for wanting to go the ball, but Cinderella did not this mockery bother her as she was determined to go to the ball and have fun. Unfortunately, Cinderella was given a lot of chores by Anastasia and her family so she would not have any time in deciding what to wear for the ball.
By the time a royal carriage arrived to pick up the Tremaines, Cinderella informed her stepmother of the carriage's arrival while Anastasia grew satisfied when Cinderella said she was not going to the ball. However, when Cinderella showed up all dressed and ready to go, due to her mice friends fixing up a dress for her, Anastasia became very distraught as she did not want to Cinderella to go to the ball with her, throwing a temper tantrum. However, after Drizella angrily accused Cinderella of "stealing" her beads, Anastasia noticed Cinderella wearing a sash she discarded earlier and angrily ripped it off of Cinderella's dress. Cinderella watched in horror as her younger stepsister proceeded to violently destroy her dress while begging her to stop. After her dress had been destroyed, Cinderella watched Anastasia leave for the ball with her mother before running off in tears.
Because of this act of cruelty, Cinderella nearly lost faith in achieving her dreams, but her fairy godmother was able to appear and cheer her up, as her faith had not completely faded away. With her fairy godmother's help, Cinderella was able to go to the ball in a new, beautiful gown which stunned Anastasia who did not recognized her as she caught the attention of Prince Charming. The next morning, when learning Prince Charming wanted to find and marry her, Cinderella became so lovestruck that her behavior was noticed by Anastasia, but Cinderella did not pay attention to her as she decided to go get ready to meet the Grand Duke. When Cinderella eagerly met with the Grand Duke to try on her glass slipper, Anastasia tried to get the Grand Duke to not have Cinderella try on the slipper, but the Grand Duke ignored Anastasia. After Cinderella tried on another glass slipper, revealing herself as the mystery woman who danced with Prince Charming at the ball, Anastasia was shocked, but Cinderella was able to escape from her abuse where she married Prince Charming and became his princess.
In the sequels, however, Cinderella managed to bond with her younger stepsister as she supported Anastasia’s romance with the baker, despite her mother and sister’s opposition. Anastasia thanked Cinderella for her help and support as the two shared a hug, thus allowing the two to begin a better sisterly relationship with each other.
===Drizella Tremaine===
After her father married Lady Tremaine sometime after the death of her biological mother, Cinderella met her older stepsister, Drizella. Right after her father's untimely death, Cinderella discovered Drizella's spoiled, cruel nature and became brutally abused by Drizella, who treated her like a servant while ordering several household chores for her to do. Despite Drizella's cruelty and abuse, Cinderella treated her older stepsister with kindness and respect.
When Cinderella's mouse friend, Gus scared Anastasia as he was hiding from Lucifer in her teacup, Drizella got angry with Cinderella, believing she intentionally pranked her younger sister. Later, after receiving an invitation to a royal ball hosted by the king, Cinderella was mocked by Drizella for wanting to go the ball, but Cinderella did not this mockery bother her as she was determined to go to the ball and have fun. Unfortunately, Cinderella was given a lot of chores by Drizella and her family so she would not have any time in deciding what to wear for the ball.
By the time a royal carriage arrived to pick up the Tremaines, Cinderella informed her stepmother of the carriage's arrival while Drizella grew satisfied when Cinderella said she was not going to the ball. However, when Cinderella showed up all dressed and ready to go, due to her mice friends fixing up a dress for her, Drizella became very distraught as she did not want to Cinderella to go to the ball with her. When Lady Tremaine pointed a beaded necklace Cinderella was wearing, Cinderella was angrily accused by Drizella for "stealing" her beads, despite the fact Drizella discarded them earlier and Cinderella possibly not knowing that they were hers. Cinderella became shocked when Drizella ripped the beads off her neck and grew horrified when her older stepsister proceeded to violently destroy her dress while begging her to stop. After her dress had been destroyed, Cinderella watched Drizella leave for the ball with her mother before running off in tears.
Because of this act of cruelty, Cinderella nearly lost faith in achieving her dreams, but her fairy godmother was able to appear and cheer her up, as her faith had not completely faded away.

=== Lucifer ===
Cinderella did not get along well with her stepmother's cat, Lucifer for his cruel, mischievous behavior and him trying to eat her mouse friends. Cinderella would sarcastically address Lucifer as "Your Highness" or "Your Majesty" while Lucifer would treat Cinderella cruelly just like the members of her stepfamily do.
When Gus accidentally scared Anastasia by hiding in her teacup in her breakfast tray, Cinderella knew immediately that Lucifer was responsible for causing Gus to be in her younger stepsister's breakfast tray as he was trying to catch the mouse while she prepared her stepfamily's breakfast. Cinderella forced Lucifer to let Gus go free after he caught him, much to Lucifer's fury. However, because of Lucifer's actions, Cinderella was wrongfully punished by her stepmother with extra chores. Later, as Cinderella washed the downstairs floor while singing "Sing, Sweet Nightingale," Lucifer left dirty pawprints all over the floor just to spite Cinderella. Upon seeing Lucifer make the floor dirty again, Cinderella called him a "mean, old thing" and attempted to 'teach him a lesson' with a broom before being greeted by and given an invitation to a ball by a royal herald.
As her Fairy Godmother helped her get ready for the ball, Cinderella watched Lucifer get scared by Gus after he was transformed into a horse. Cinderella felt bad for the cat, even though her Fairy Godmother believed it served him right. The next day, after being locked in her room by Lady Tremaine, Cinderella was horrified when Lucifer suddenly appeared and trapped Gus when he and Jaq managed to retrieve her the key to her bedroom door. Cinderella begged Lucifer to let Gus go, but the cat refused to prevent her from trying on her missing glass slipper while believing that now she was imprisoned her room, she won't be able to prevent him from eating her mouse friends.
As the mice and birds fought Lucifer, Cinderella realized her dog, Bruno was the only one who can get rid of Lucifer and ordered some birds to go fetch Bruno before it was too late. Bruno managed to get to the attic and frighten Lucifer by barking viscously at him before causing Lucifer to jump out of a window. With Lucifer gone, Gus was freed where he and Jaq manage to wedge the key through an opening between the door, allowing to Cinderella exit her room and head downstairs. Cinderella was able to meet with the Grand Duke on time and try on the glass slipper which allowed her to escape from her stepfamily's and Lucifer's abuse, and marry her true love, Prince Charming.
