Drisella Tremaine

**Drizella Tremaine** is a secondary antagonist in Disney's 2015 live action adaptation film, *Cinderella*. She is Anastasia's biological older sister, Lady Tremaine's eldest daughter, and Cinderella's older stepsister. Snarky and greedy, Drizella does not care for romance, but rather money and power.

## Background

Drizella is the older sister of Anastasia and the oldest daughter of Lady Tremaine. When she and her sister were children, their mother married a noble man with a daughter, Cinderella. After the death of Cinderella's father, the three Tremaines became cruel and forced Cinderella into servitude within her own home.

### Personality

Drizella is portrayed as ugly both inside and out and not very graceful. She tries to destroy Cinderella's life in all conditions in the first and third movie of the series. She is very jealous of Cinderella's success and beauty, and enjoys seeing her slave under her, her sister, mother, and even their cat. Unlike Anastasia, who eventually changes her spiteful ways and develops into a kind and good-natured woman, Drizella remains largely mean, selfish, and rude throughout the series, never truly overcoming her hatred of Cinderella.

In the original movie, Drizella is shown to be very selfish, spoiled, and greedy, much like her sister and her mother. In *Cinderella II: Dreams Come True*, Drizella stated that Anastasia's love for the town's baker would have made them the laughing stock of the entire town, despite the fact that in *Cinderella III: A Twist in Time*, she and her mother end up becoming scullery maids. She and her mother, however, in the end, became toads before being changed back to their original forms. Nonetheless, she did have some degree of care for her biological sister Anastasia, even being visibly shocked by her mother's cruel treatment of Anastasia in the ending of the aforementioned segment in *Cinderella II*.

### Physical appearance

Drizella has a slender figure, fair skin, black eyes, and shoulder-length, black hair with rolled locks on the back and a light blue ribbon on her head. As a child, her hair is a lighter shade of brown and worn in the same style. She also has large, ungainly feet, as evidenced by the attempt at trying to fit Cinderella's glass slipper on her nearing the end of the film.

Drizella's trademark appearance consists of different shades of yellow, chartreuse, and light green. As a child, she wears a yellow, short-sleeved dress with a white-winged collar and a red gem in the center. As an adult, Drizella wears a short-sleeved dress that is yellow and light green except for the bodice, which is a deeper shade of yellow, and dark green flats. Her ballgown consists of different shades of green with cyan frill outlines and has a single light teal feather on her head. Her sleepwear is identical to Anastasia's, except in color: a long-sleeved, chartreuse nightgown with a white ribbon in the center and a matching sleeping hat.

In her later appearances in both sequels, Drizella's hair color changes from brown to raven black, and both the color of her trademark dress and her ribbon have changed. In *Cinderella II: Dreams Come True*, her ribbon is light green and her dress is chartreuse and olive. In *Cinderella III: A Twist of Time*, her ribbon is light blue and her dress is different shades of green.
