Disney's ''Cinderella'' is an animated feature film based on the fairy tale of the same name, released in 1950, which received two direct-to-video sequels: '' Cinderella II: Dreams Come True'' (2002) and '' Cinderella III: A Twist in Time'' (2007). The main characters introduced in the first film include the protagonist Cinderella, her mouse friends Jaq and Gus, her stepmother Lady Tremaine and stepsisters Anastasia and Drizella, her Fairy Godmother, and her love interest, Prince Charming. ''Dreams Come True'' and the 2015 live-action film introduced new characters while expanding on the story.

Main characters

Cinderella

Cinderella (voiced by Ilene Woods in the original film and Jennifer Hale in the sequels) is a young orphan who, after the death of her father, is forced into servitude under her evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine, and stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. Despite this, she maintains hope through her dreams, believing that one day her dreams of happiness will come true and her kindness will be repaid. Though kind and down-to-earth, she is also a daydreamer.

With the help of her animal friends, she repairs her mother's old dress so that she can attend a royal ball, but is heartbroken when her stepsisters tear it up and fears that her dreams will never come true. However, her Fairy Godmother appears and uses her magic to transform the dress into a gown, as well as a pumpkin into a carriage, Jaq, Gus, and the mice into horses, her horse Major into a coachman, and her bloodhound Bruno into a footman. However, she warns her that the magic will end at midnight. At the ball, she dances with Prince Charming, with whom she falls in love, before leaving at midnight and leaving behind one of her slippers. Although he does not know her name, he identifies her by the slipper, which fits her, and they marry soon after.

In the live-action film, she is portrayed by Eloise Webb as a 10-year-old in the prologue and Lily James in the present. She was originally named Ella, with ''Cinderella'' being a spiteful nickname the stepsisters gave to her after she slept near the fireplace and was covered by cinder (ash).

In the live-action '' Descendants'' film series, Cinderella has a son named Chad, who appears in the first three films, and a daughter named Chloe, who appears in the fourth film. Cinderella also appears in the fourth film, '' Descendants: The Rise of Red'', portrayed by Brandy Norwood, who previously portrayed Cinderella in the 1997 television film ''Cinderella'', while Morgan Dudley portrays the character as a teenager, with her real name being Ella.

Jaq and Gus

Jaq and Gus (voiced by Jimmy MacDonald in the original film, Rob Paulsen and Corey Burton in the sequels) are two mice who serve as Cinderella's sidekicks and closest confidants, with Jaq serving as the mices' leader.

After Cinderella rescues Gus from a cage, he and Gus are two of four mice that the Fairy Godmother transforms into stallions so that Cinderella can attend the ball, but return to normal at the stroke of midnight. Later, Jaq and Gus steal the key to Cinderella's room from Lady Tremaine so she can escape. They are last seen attending the wedding of Cinderella and Prince Charming.

In '' Cinderella II: Dreams Come True'', they and the mice move into the castle and Gus comes up with the idea to make the new book of stories to replace the old one. In ''Aim to Please'', Jaq and Gus help Cinderella prepare for the ball and support her when she doubts herself. In ''Tall Tail'', Jaq, feeling useless, wishes that he were a human, which the Fairy Godmother grants. He helps Cinderella and the others prepare for the fair before realizing that he liked being a mouse better and returns to normal. In ''An Uncommon Romance'', he and the mice attempt to help Lucifer win the affections of the snobby female cat Pom-Pom in hopes that the cats will leave the mice alone.

In '' Cinderella III: A Twist in Time'', Gus and Jaq help the Fairy Godmother prepare for Prince Charming and Cinderella's anniversary party. After Lady Tremaine reverses time and makes the slipper fit Anastasia's foot, they help Cinderella search for Charming and witness Tremaine casting a spell on him to make him forget Cinderella and believe that he danced with Anastasia. Though they reclaim the wand from Tremaine, she has Cinderella arrested before she can lift the spell on Charming. Gus and Jaq convince Charming that Cinderella is the right girl through a song, "At the Ball". They later help Cinderella put on her wedding gown, but Tremaine sends them away and assigns Lucifer to drive them in a pumpkin carriage over a cliff. After escaping, Cinderella, Jaq, and Gus return to the palace and they attack the entrance guards to let her through to the wedding. They appear in the closing credits in a series of photos.

Jaq and Gus also appear in the Grandma Duck comics in ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories'', where they live with Grandma Duck and her grandnephew Gus Goose. They also appear in the ''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip ''Mousepotamia''.

Like other characters from the first film, Jaq and Gus make cameo appearances in the television series ''House of Mouse'' as guests of the titular club. In the direct-to-video film '' Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse'', they take part in the musical number "The Best Christmas of All", where they give Cinderella a dress for Christmas.

Jaq appears in '' Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', where he befriends Ventus after freeing him from a mousetrap. Ventus later helps him gather the necessary materials for Cinderella's dress; after Tremaine locks Cinderella in her room, Jaq retrieves the key and is saved by Aqua when the Unversed ambush him.

In the live-action film, Jaq is a doe named Jacqueline, while Gus is referred to as Gus-Gus.

In ''Once Upon a Time'', Billy the mechanic (portrayed by Jarod Joseph) is revealed in the episode " Child of the Moon" to be the mouse Gus. Soon after, he is murdered by D.A. Albert Spencer/ King George (Alan Dale).

Lady Tremaine

Lady Tremaine (voiced by Eleanor Audley in the original film and Susanne Blakeslee in sequels and other media) is the main villainess of the franchise, who is based on the original character from the fairy tale created by Charles Perrault. She is cruel and seeks to ensure her daughters' success. After marrying Cinderella's father for his money, following his death she reveals her true motives of treating Cinderella like a maid while devoting her time and love to her daughters.

In live-action depictions, she was portrayed by Cate Blanchett in the live-action remake, by Linda Ko in '' Descendants 3'', and by Julee Cerda in '' Descendants: The Rise of Red''. Two versions inspired on the character appear in ''Once Upon a Time'': the first is portrayed by Jan Brandle Smith in the first season and by Lisa Banes in the sixth season, and the second version, known as Rapunzel Tremaine, is portrayed by Gabrielle Anwar in the seventh season and Meegan Warner as a young woman.

Anastasia Tremaine

Anastasia Tremaine (voiced by Lucille Bliss) is the younger daughter of Lady Tremaine. Though following the original story's depiction of the ugly and cruel stepsister in the first film, Anastasia undergoes a redemption arc in the sequels as she struggles to find genuine love and follow her conscience despite her mother and sister's negative influence. Pat Williams, James Denney, and Jim Denney reported that actress "Lucille Bliss was the voice of Cinderella's stepsister, Anastasia, an experience that remains one of her fondest memories." Bliss that "I was just a teenager when I got the part...I read that Walt had personally selected me for the part of Anastasia."Pat Williams, James Denney, and Jim Denney, ''How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Magic Every Day of Your Life'' (HCI, 2004)

In the original film, she and Drizella are cruel to Cinderella and tear up her dress before the Fairy Godmother repairs it. In ''Cinderella II: Dreams Come True'', Anastasia falls in love with a working-class baker and wants to get close to him, which Tremaine forbids because of her prejudice towards his social standing. However, Cinderella reassures her that the baker is a good man, regardless of what Lady Tremaine believes, and encourages her to follow her heart. With help from Cinderella and her animal friends, they reunite and attend Cinderella's ball together, where she thanks Cinderella for her help.

In ''Cinderella III: A Twist in Time'', she finds the Fairy Godmother's wand, setting into motion Tremaine's plot to destroy Cinderella's "happily ever after" and gain a rich lifestyle at the palace. Though manipulated and forced into marrying Prince Charming as a means to fulfil her family's selfish desires, she begins to feel remorse and guilt. At the altar, after realizing she does not truly love Charming and having understood what true love really means after talking with the King, she refuses to marry him and sets things right after regaining the wand. Afterwards, she repairs her relationship with Cinderella, who invites her to stay in the castle to be her lady-in-waiting. During the credits, she is shown sitting in the palace garden while looking at the baker.

''Variety'' stated that "stepsister Anastasia is appreciably more sympathetic" in ''Cinderella III''. At Walt Disney World during the Cinderella's Gala Feast attraction, Julie and Mike Neal stated that "everyone will love Anastasia and Drizella, Cinderella's evil stepsisters, who wander the room with Lady Tremaine..."

Like other characters from the first film, Anastasia makes cameo appearances in the television series ''House of Mouse'' as a guest of the titular club. In the direct-to-video film '' Mickey's House of Villains'', she takes part in the musical number "It's Our House Now" when villains take over the club.

Anastasia appears in '' Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' in her homeworld, Castle of Dreams, having the same role as in the original film. However, the darkness in her heart leads her to attempt to murder Cinderella before the Cursed Coach, an Unversed born from their jealousy, drops a bomb on them and transforms them into Heartless. She also appears as a playable character in ''Disney Magic Kingdoms''.

In the live-action film, she, along with her mother and sister, leave the kingdom with the Grand Duke.

Two versions of the character appear in ''Once Upon a Time''. Clorinda, Cinderella's stepsister who is based on her, appears in the sixth season, portrayed by Mekenna Melvin, while in the seventh season, named Anastasia like in the animated film, she is portrayed by Yael Yurman.

Drizella Tremaine

Drizella Tremaine (voiced by Rhoda Williams in the original film and Russi Taylor in the sequels) is the older daughter of Lady Tremaine. Drizella appears in various novels and other publications. She, like Anastasia and Tremaine, is haughty, abusive, and cruel, and envious of Cinderella's success and beauty. Unlike Anastasia, she remains cruel and obedient to Tremaine.

In the original film, she and Anastasia are cruel to Cinderella and tear up her dress before the Fairy Godmother repairs it. In ''Cinderella II: Dreams Come True'', during the story ''An Uncommon Romance'', she is shocked after Anastasia rebels against Tremaine and declares her love for the baker, but still sides with Tremaine.

In '' Cinderella III: A Twist in Time'', she, like Anastasia, was discontented with doing chores that Cinderella used to do. She was at first skeptical of the Fairy Godmother's magic wand, but after Anastasia accidentally turned the Fairy Godmother into a statue, she went along with Lady Tremaine's plan for revenge against Cinderella. She was dismayed and annoyed that the glass slipper fitted Anastasia's foot. She was revealed to have terrible table manners, as shown when she and Anastasia "sample the hors d'oeuvres", resulting in a food fight. After Anastasia's disastrous and incompetent dancing, she suggested that they flee the castle, but she and Lady Tremaine were surprised when the King grew fond of her, as she reminded him of his late wife, the Queen, and he gifted her the Queen's cherished seashell, which left Anastasia feeling guilty about her family's deceit. After Cinderella attempted to undo the spell using the wand, Drizella taunted her in a "Nice try" manner, nearly giving their plot away, at which point, Lady Tremaine threatens to have her banished as well. Later, after Cinderella and the Prince told the King of what really happened, and the King orders the arrest of Lady Tremaine and her daughters, Lady Tremaine made one final attempt for revenge by having Anastasia to pose as Cinderella for the wedding while sending the real Cinderella to her supposed doom. However, after witnessing both the return of the real Cinderella, and Anastasia (who felt guilty that she deceived both the Prince and the King, and betrayed Cinderella) rejecting the Prince at the altar, she, like Lady Tremaine, was furious at Anastasia for her betrayal, and after they emerged from their hiding place, and when Lady Tremaine turned some of the palace guards into farm animals, she told Lady Tremaine to punish both Cinderella and Anastasia by turning them into toads, but the Prince defended the two from the spell and reflected it back with his sword, turning both her and Lady Tremaine into toads instead. During the end credits, she and Lady Tremaine have been restored back to their human forms, but they are horrified to learn that they are holding brooms and wearing scullery clothes identical to those Cinderella used to wear, implying that they have been sentenced to work in the palace as servants as punishment for their crimes and villainous actions.

Like other characters from the first film, Drizella makes cameo appearances in the television series ''House of Mouse'' as a guest of the titular club. In the direct-to-video film '' Mickey's House of Villains'', she takes part in the musical number "It's Our House Now" when villains take over the club.

She appears in '' Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' in her homeworld, Castle of Dreams, having the same role as in the original film.

In ''Cinderella II: Dreams Come True'', Lucifer appears in the third and final segment, ''An Uncommon Romance'', where he falls in love with the snobby palace cat Pom-Pom and makes a deal with the mice that he will not chase them again if they help him reconcile with Pom-Pom. Though the plan works, Pom-Pom goads Lucifer into breaking his promise and dumps him out of spite.

In ''Cinderella III: A Twist in Time'', Lady Tremaine turns him into a human coachman to take Cinderella and the mice away from the palace. However, he falls off the coach and returns to normal.

However, she warns Cinderella that the magic will run out at midnight.

In ''Cinderella II: Dreams Come True'', she reads the story of Cinderella to the animals until Gus and Jaq arrive. They then decide to make a new book to narrate what happens after her "happily ever after". In the segment ''Tall Tail'', she turns Jaq into a human so he can help Cinderella in the palace.

In ''Cinderella III: A Twist in Time'', her wand is stolen by Anastasia, who accidentally turns her into a stone statue, and Tremaine uses its magic.
