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 to the original film's opening song

Cinderella is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1950 animated feature film of the same name. After the death of her mother, her father remarried, believing that Cinderella "needed a mother's care". Cinderella's father died shortly thereafter, upon which she was forced to work as a scullery maid for her wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.

Despite the cruelty of her jealous stepfamily, Cinderella remained kind, spirited, and internally beautiful. Her faith and everlasting optimism manifested itself into a Fairy Godmother, whose magic served as a catalyst for Cinderella's ascent from servant to princess.

Cinderella is the second official member of the Disney Princess line-up, preceded by Snow White.
