Cinderella

**Cinderella** is one of the main characters of *Once Upon A Zombie*.

## Personality

Cindy has a voracious appetite and a forthright, rebellious personality to match. She says what she feels, tells it like it is, and is the first one to jump into any challenging situation and conflict. She’s also the first one to grab something to eat.

Cinderella has mastered the art of turning lemons into lemonade. Pumpkins into carriages and mice into horses. In other words, her strength is turning a bad situation good.

## Appearance

Cinderella has a light gray complexion and icy blue eyes. Her long blonde hair is kept piled high atop her head in voluminous buns. She has stitches running vertically from the bottom of her left eye to her jaw, more running around her lower left leg, and a bandage wrapped around her left wrist. She can be seen wearing makeup in pinks, blues, and reds. Like the other zombies, she wanders barefoot.

## Power

The zombie affliction has given her speed and agility, especially with her legs and feet. This often comes in handy when battling the frightening blood-eyed zombies who have lost all sense of self-control.

## Issue

She must let go of being a victim and her childhood issues. She has fear of never having enough. Must learn to give it all away to get it all. She must learn to share and be generous in order to create abundance.

## 5 Questions

**1. What has been the biggest change you have experienced since your transformation into a Zombie?**

My cravings! I’ve always loved to eat, but since this ghoulish transformation my cravings for extra spicy foods has really peaked! Hot peppers, chili, horseradish, wasabi, you name it, I love it!

**2. What do you feel is your greatest talent and how do you use this to benefit others?**

I have a knack for feeling others. Some may call it oversensitive, but I try to use it to be sensitive to other peoples needs rather than my own. I can usually feel what my friends are going through without them telling me- and then I try to be there to support them as best I can. And since this zombie affliction started, I'm bit over-passionate and aggressive sometimes. I use that to defend and protect my royal friends.

**3. Even fairy tale princesses seem to go through difficult times. What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced and how were you able to overcome it?**

It has always been difficult for me to love myself unconditionally. Growing up with 2 stepsisters who were not always so friendly used to make me feel down and unhappy. But lately I am really trying to see my own beauty and gifts without looking for validation from others- and it seems to be working! There is no greater feeling than feeling secure with who you are. Especially when you are deathly pale and undead.

**4. What is one piece of advice you can give to young adults who are struggling to overcome a challenge that seems to have no end?**

You are stronger than you can imagine. If there’s a challenge in front of you, it’s only because you have the ability to overcome it. Just never stop trying. The story will always end up, happily ever after, if you refuse to give up.

**5. When was the last time you laughed really hard and what were you laughing at?**

It was just the other day! I was sitting with Zombie Snow White having some milk and cookies and chili peppers, and we were telling each other funny jokes. She shared one that was so funny and I laughed so hard that milk shot out of my nose! That was the funny part :) And because my face is so pale now, it was the same color as the milk!
