After the death of her father, Cinderella was forced to work for years as a servant for her stepmother and stepsisters. When they received an invitation to the ball at the palace, Cinderella prepared to go to the ball in a dress that was once her mother's that had been repaired by the mice. However, due to her step-sisters noticing that some of their own belongings were on the dress, Anastasia and Drizella tore the dress into pieces and left for the ball themselves along with Lady Tremaine. As Cinderella ran outside to cry, she was eventually visited by an old woman who called herself the Fairy Godmother and that she was there for Cinderella, eventually, Fairy Godmother casted magic from her wand to give Cinderella her new appearance which included a silvery blue dress and the glass slippers but warned her that she had to return home before midnight as the spell would wear out then

After arriving at the palace, she eventually began dancing with the prince but soon noticed that the clock was close to midnight and went to leave, even leaving one of her slippers behind, Prince Charming used the slipper to find the girl whom he had danced with the night before and announced he would marry the girl it fit. Cinderella kept the other slipper and was seemingly entranced by her encounter with the prince the next day which lead to Lady Tremaine discovering that she and the mysterious girl were the same person. After learning this, Tremaine locked Cinderella away and claimed only herself and her two daughters lives there, Cinderella was soon let out of her confinement with help from Jaq and Gus, she then returned downstairs. Despite protests from Tremaine, the Grand Duke allowed Cinderella to try on the glass slipper only for Tremaine to trip the Grand Duke's assistant causing the slipper to shatter. Cinderella watched as The Grand Duke became upset over the situation but presented the remaining slipper, as the Grand Duke tried it on the young maiden's foot, it fit and Cinderella was shown to be the girl at the ball, the latter then married the prince.
