The Characters
-
-
A grandmotherly sorceress, the Fairy Godmother has a brief but all-important role in the story of Cinderella, performing the magical miracle that makes Cinderella's attendance at Prince Charming's Royal Ball possible. She is kind and funny, and the good cheer and confidence she gives to Cinderella are as important as her coach and slippers.
-
A woman of good family and stately elegance, Lady Tremaine live by the maxims "above all, self-control" and "you must always keep your word." Therefore, Cinderella's wicked stepmother cunningly chooses her words with care and — unlike her awkward daughters — never lets her temper get the best of her. She is well dressed and impeccably groomed, and her comportment and etiquette are above reproach.
-
Anastasia, the younger stepsister, is foolish, selfish, and clumsy but with a remarkably high opinion of herself and is easily carried away by jealousy and power. She bickers constantly with her older sister, Drizella, but together they enjoy humiliating Cinderella and making her life horrible. Anastasia plays the flute but not necessarily well, despite her mother's instruction in music. After all of her shortcomings, in the end all Anastasia really wants is to find somebody who will love her for who she is.

Drizella, the older of Cinderella's stepsisters, is spoiled, awkward, ungainly, and greedy — like her mother, Lady Tremaine. She loves to blame everything on poor Cinderella and working her to the bone while she idles her time in bed or fussing over her hair. Though her mother tries to instill a sense of elegance and style with instruction in music and decorum, she can still not sing like a nightingale. Regardless, she still feels she is a bride fit for a prince.

Bruno is easy-going to the point of sloth — he has to be forcefully encouraged by the mice to help fight off Lucifer so that the key to Cinderella's tower room can be delivered. However, his heart is in the right place, and when circumstances demand it he is prepared to stand up and be counted. Thanks to the Fairy Godmother's spell, Bruno is transmuted into a slightly officious footman.
