Cinderella

## Background

### 1519 - 1538: Mariella Tremaine

Mariella Tremaine was born to wealthy parents, Sir Francis & Lady Cecilia Tremaine in the Silver Realm. Growing up, she preferred going by "Ella" instead of her full name. At the young age of eight, Lady Cecilia passed away after fighting off her illness for months. Ella became extremely close with her father, who in turn spent all his time with the young girl.

Things were happy between the two of them until her father met Lady Victoria. The two suddenly wed without much of a courtship & she moved into their home, along with her two daughters Anastasia & Drizella. Unfortunately for Ella, her father died not long after remarrying.

Ella became the housemaid for her stepmother & stepsisters, doing every task they asked of her. During one day, Victoria criticizes Ella for not finishing her work, while Ella pointed out that neither of her stepsisters are helping. She coolly explains that had Ella's father left her with money, she could have hired a proper staff but instead, he only had Ella. After an incident that led to Ella's mother's dress being burned by her stepsisters, Drizella gives her the name "Cinderella" as her dress is covered in cinders.

One afternoon, Prince Charming invited all the young ladies in the northern kingdom to a royal promenade at his castle. Unable to go due to many tasks given to her by her stepmother, Cinderella wailed in anguish until her magically endowed Fairy Godmother appeared. Upon seeing the girl in sorrow, she transformed Ella from a common house servant into a beautiful maiden with a beautiful gown & glass slippers to match.

Ella attended the ball but her Fairy Godmother warned her that must return home before the stroke of midnight, as her party dress would revert back into her old rags & all her other spells would be broken in a momentary instant. Despite this obstacle, her evening turned out to be a splendid success as wooed the Prince as soon as she entered the palace. But just as quickly as she arrived, she left to return to her home before the spells wore off. All she left behind was her glass slipper on the steps of the palace.

Captivated by the woman, Prince Charming tried the glass slipper on every girl in the land until he found her. The two were then married, putting her in complete bliss.
