Cinderella (2015)

"I'm only a girl, not a princess."

- Ella to the lizard footman. Ella is the main character in the 2015 live action film adaptation of Disney's Cinderella. She was portrayed by British actress Lily James.

In this adaptation she meets the prince in a forest by chance prior to the main ball and is unaware he is the prince (mainly due to the fact that he introduced himself as Kit, an apprentice employed at the palace)

The Story of Ella
Ella is a girl who grew up on a farm. Her mother always taught her to have courage and to be kind. But that moment did not last for long. Her mother shortly died afterwards. Years later, Ella's father, a merchant, married a widower named Lady Tremaine. She moves into Ella's estate, accompanied by her two daughters named Drisella and Anastasia. They were nice to Ella at first, but soon after Ella's father died from a business trip, Lady Tremaine had to save money on the household by making Ella do all of the chores. As time went by, Lady Tremaine and her two daughters started to be rude to her, and called her "Cinderella" for having cinders on her face.

How Ella met Kit
One day, Ella rode into the woods where she ran into a deer being hunted. She helped the deer escape from a hunting group. One of the hunters, who was looking for the deer, came across Ella. The man introduced himself to her as Kit, even though he was actually the prince. The two of them then fell in love with each other.

The Ball
Kit's father, the king, was dying. In order for Kit to rule, he had to find a girl at the ball that was coming and marry her. As news spread out, Cinderella's family was alerted about this and they excitedly get ready for the ball. Lady Tremaine bought a dress for both Drisella and Anastasia but not Cinderella. So she had to wear her mother's old dress to go to the ball. But as soon as Cinderella's sisters see it, they began to tear it apart before they left. Shortly after they leave, Ella ran outside to cry there. As she cried, an old lady appeared and asked Ella if she could get her some milk.
