## Locations

### Cinderella's Château

The **Château** is where Cinderella and her late parents once lived. Although it was once a grand and stately building, it is revealed that it had "fallen into disrepair" in the years following the death of Cinderella's father. Her cruel and spiteful stepmother neglected to care for it, preferring to squander the family fortune she inherited from her late husband on her daughters, Anastasia and Drizella.

When Cinderella married the Prince Charming and became a princess, she left her stepmother's gloomy and dilapidated château. Major, Bruno, the mice and her bird friends also left with her. Lady Tremaine forced in place her own daughters to do all the chores instead. However, when she and Drizella were defeated once for all in *Cinderella III: A Twist in Time* by becoming maids in the King's Castle, the château became completely abandoned, as Anastasia came to live with the royal family and the Tremaine's former pet cat was left alone in faraway woods.
