♫Cinderella, you're as lovely as your name Cinderella, you're a sunset in a frame Though you're dressed in rags, you wear an air of queenly grace Anyone can see a throne would be your proper place.♫
„
~ Lyrics from the movie's opening song.
After her father and mother passed away, she has been poorly taken care of by Lady Tremaine, her evil stepmother. She worked in the kitchen; her only friends were Major the horse, Bruno the bloodhound, Jaq, Gus, her Fairy Godmother, and a few more mice and birds all of whom helped her go to the ball. At the end of the first movie, she marries Prince Charming.
Cinderella is a strong-willed and independent young woman who is truly beautiful because she doesn't let her anger and sorrow get the better of her. She is kind and caring to most and is in no way depicted as naïve or childish. She is mature, brave and has shown that she can overcome her obstacles without the aid of magic. She has also been shown to have a slightly sarcastic side to her, as seen in her comments about her stepfamily and Lucifer, but usually, keep such comments to herself. She is also shown to be quite intelligent and have common sense, especially when she thinks of how poorly raised she was after the absence of her parents and figuring out how to escape, as proven when she strategized her animal friend to help free herself from her room and keeping the glass slipper a secret until the right time in case the other one breaks, in which Lady Tremaine does. Cinderella is also resourceful by using her mother's old fashioned dress and imagining a beautiful ball gown.
Physical Appearance[]
In her initial appearance before changing to her maid suit, she wears a light blue long-sleeved collared nightgown adorned with a blue ribbon and black ballet flats from her maid suit. Her strawberry-blonde hair is tied in two low pigtails before she removes the blue ribbons in each side to make it loose. Cinderella is a beautiful and attractive young woman. She is tall, slender, and softly shaped with a mild face. She has fair skin, pink lips, and twinkling blue eyes. Her hair is strawberry-blonde and shoulder-length with soft bangs. She wears a silverish-blue ball gown with sparkles all over, with a white petticoat and a light blue headband over her trademark French twist hairstyle which is pulled into a bun, along with pale blue earrings, light blue opera gloves, a black velvet choker around her neck, and dons clear glass slippers. She also wears dark pink lipstick.
Disney Princesses[]
In the Disney Princess franchise, Cinderella is the most popular of all the princesses and she is the leader of the Disney Princesses. In many Disney Princess group images, Cinderella is seen in the middle showing her leadership.

Trivia[]
Cinderella is the second Disney Princess after Snow White in 1937.
Cinderella's hair color has often been the subject of debate among fans. In the original film, Cinderella's hair seems to be of a light orange tone, classifying her as either a redhead or a ginger as her hair had been officially called "burnt orange". In the franchise and the Disney parks, Cinderella's hair is publicized as bright yellow, making her a golden-blonde, although her hair remained orange-ish in the original film and the second sequel. The most common consensus is that she is a strawberry-blonde, which is blonde hair bearing an orange tint.
Her shoe size is mentioned in the third movie which is a size 4 1/2 in woman's.
Cinderella is one of the two oldest Disney Princesses, the other one being Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Both of them are 19 years old in their movies.
Interestingly, both Cinderella and Tiana were first shown as little girls at the beginning of their respective films.
The symbolic message of the glass slippers is that Cinderella is so delicate that she can walk in glass shoes and not break them. It is also symbolic how she can be comfortable in glass shoes, meaning to she can easily adapt to typically "uncomfortable" situations.
Cinderella is derived from the French word Cendrillon, which translates in English as "little ash girl".
The only mention of Cinderella's mother was in the first movie when she showed the mice a dress that belonged to her that she was planning to fix up for the ball.
Unlike how Cinderella's iconic Ballgown is featured in the original feature film, there are few differences in its depiction in the Disney parks and ice shows. The first being is that a bow is part of the gown, the second is that the hair is blonde and not burnt orange, and third being is that silver slippers are worn in the parks, instead of transparent plastic type slippers to pass for 'glass' slippers.
In the movie, Cinderella wears a whitish-silver dress to the ball. However, in most merchandise, this is changed to a bright blue dress.
Cinderella makes a cameo appearance in the pilot movie for Sofia the First, Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess.
