===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
[[File:Keep on Believing 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Cinderella thanks both Ventus and Jaq for creating her dress.]]
Cinderella was born a wealthy girl, but after her mother passed away while she was still young, her father remarried another woman, [[Lady Tremaine]], to care for Cinderella.{{fact}} However, after her father passed away too, her evil stepmother revealed her true self and turned her into a maid to clean her home. Cinderella is abused by being treated like a slave and is given ridiculous amounts of chores, as it is implied Tremaine does so to punish Cinderella rather than caring about the cleanliness of the house.{{?}} Tremaine also gives preferential treatment to her daughters [[Anastasia]] and [[Drizella]], as well as her cat [[Lucifer]]. Cinderella's only friends are the animals and the mice of the house.
 
One day, the King of the [[Castle of Dreams]] holds a ball for [[Prince Charming]] invites all unmarried women from the kingdom to help him find a bride. Instead of letting her join them, Lady Tremaine and her daughters give her unfinished chores to prevent her from getting ready for the ball. During [[Ventus]]'s visit, he assists her mouse friend, [[Jaq]], in making a [[Cinderella's dress|dress]] for her while Cinderella finishes her chores. Despite his appearance, Cinderella somehow believes Ventus to be a mouse due to his unexpected miniature size.
 
[[File:The Ball of Her Dreams 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|Cinderella is escorted by Terra.]]
When Cinderella's stepsisters angrily tear apart her dress, Cinderella runs to the garden in tears just as [[Terra]] arrives. He tells her that strength of heart will help her get through the hardest trials. Afterwards, he protects her from [[Unversed]] and her [[Fairy Godmother]] helps her make a beautiful gown and a carriage to take her to the ball, with Terra as her bodyguard.
 
While at the ball, she meets the Prince and they fall instantly in love with each other. While dancing, she and the prince are suddenly interrupted by [[Symphony Master|a gigantic Unversed]] until Terra comes to their rescue. After the Unversed is defeated, the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella is forced to leave the ball before the Fairy Godmother's magic runs out. As she runs through the Grand Hall, she loses a slipper.
 
Prince Charming declares that he will find the girl of his dreams by letting by letting every girl in the kingdom try the glass slipper on. Lady Tremaine, having discovered that Cinderella is the girl at the ball, locks her in her room and attempts to make one of her daughters the Prince's bride.
 
[[File:A Perfect Fit 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Cinderella being invited by Aqua to try on the glass slipper first.]]
However, [[Aqua]] and Jaq cooperate and manage to free Cinderella just before the [[Grand Duke]] is able to leave. Lady Tremaine trips him and the slipper breaks before she is able to try it on, but Cinderella pulls out the second glass slipper from her pocket and tries it on instead.
 
The Grand Duke is about to take her to the castle when Lady Tremaine's negativity summons the gigantic [[Cursed Coach]] Unversed to murder the princess, since she is now free and no longer useful. Aqua manages to destroy it and bring her safely to Prince Charming. Charming is at first surprised to see that Cinderella is in fact a servant girl as opposed to the princess he believed her to be, but nevertheless accepts her for who she is.
 
Some time after [[Xehanort]]'s defeat, she is dancing around the ballroom with the prince while Jaq and the Fairy Godmother look on. However, the castle from her world was later found by Aqua inside the [[Realm of Darkness]].

Cinderella will return in the upcoming PSP game, ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. The latest trailer implies it is [[Ventus]] and her faithful mouse friend, [[Jaq]], who helps tailor her a dress for the Prince's ball. However, [[Ventus|Ven]] has an obstacle: Lady Tremaine's evil cat, [[Lucifer]]. Beginning the storyline at [[Castle of Dreams]] as a servant of [[Lady Tremaine]]. But when the dress was finished, her stepsisters tore the dress. Cinderella then runs to the garden crying encountering Terra, whom attempts to encourage her. She is able to attend the Prince's ball with the aid of the [[Fairy Godmother]] and her magic. She is later seen approaching the Castle of Dreams near [[Ventus|Ven]], also running through the Grand Hall in front of [[Aqua]] after having lost her slipper. Another scan features Terra stating that her persistent belief in a better future is what filled her heart with light.

==Personality==
She was taken and held deep within [[Hollow Bastion]] until all seven Princesses were collected. It is unknown when she was captured but from scenes it can be assumed it was before [[Snow White]] and [[Alice]] placing her as either 2nd captured or 3rd either before or after [[Belle]].
Cinderella has been known to be a very hardworking and honest young woman, who is skillful in doing multiple house chores each day and cooking as she constantly serves her stepmother and two stepsisters.


Once her heart was restored, she stayed behind in the castle of Hollow Bastion to hold back the darkness lurking out of the Final Keyhole, until Sora returned and closed it.

She is not afraid to speak her mind and her dreams to her mouse friends, yet is completely passive and obedient to her step-family right until she goes to the ball. Cinderella is frightened by Lady Tremaine, concerned that if she does not follow Tremaine's orders or upsets Tremaine too much, she will be punished and potentially end up in a worse place.


When Kingdom Hearts was sealed she was returned to her own world.
She has shown kindness to everyone around her, including her mouse friends and even to her harsh stepmother and mean stepsisters.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[edit]

Cinderella appears due to the Book of Prophecies.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

Cinderella thanks both Ventus and Jaq for creating her dress.

Cinderella was born a wealthy girl, but after her mother passed away while she was still young, her father remarried another woman, Lady Tremaine, to care for Cinderella.[citation needed] However, after her father passed away too, her evil stepmother revealed her true self and turned her into a maid to clean her home. Cinderella is abused by being treated like a slave and is given ridiculous amounts of chores, as it is implied Tremaine does so to punish Cinderella rather than caring about the cleanliness of the house.[?] Tremaine also gives preferential treatment to her daughters Anastasia and Drizella, as well as her cat Lucifer. Cinderella's only friends are the animals and the mice of the house.

One day, the King of the Castle of Dreams holds a ball for Prince Charming invites all unmarried women from the kingdom to help him find a bride. Instead of letting her join them, Lady Tremaine and her daughters give her unfinished chores to prevent her from getting ready for the ball. During Ventus's visit, he assists her mouse friend, Jaq, in making a dress for her while Cinderella finishes her chores. Despite his appearance, Cinderella somehow believes Ventus to be a mouse due to his unexpected miniature size.

Cinderella is escorted by Terra.

When Cinderella's stepsisters angrily tear apart her dress, Cinderella runs to the garden in tears just as Terra arrives. He tells her that strength of heart will help her get through the hardest trials. Afterwards, he protects her from Unversed and her Fairy Godmother helps her make a beautiful gown and a carriage to take her to the ball, with Terra as her bodyguard.

While at the ball, she meets the Prince and they fall instantly in love with each other. While dancing, she and the prince are suddenly interrupted by a gigantic Unversed until Terra comes to their rescue. After the Unversed is defeated, the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella is forced to leave the ball before the Fairy Godmother's magic runs out. As she runs through the Grand Hall, she loses a slipper.

Prince Charming declares that he will find the girl of his dreams by letting by letting every girl in the kingdom try the glass slipper on. Lady Tremaine, having discovered that Cinderella is the girl at the ball, locks her in her room and attempts to make one of her daughters the Prince's bride.

Cinderella being invited by Aqua to try on the glass slipper first.

However, Aqua and Jaq cooperate and manage to free Cinderella just before the Grand Duke is able to leave. Lady Tremaine trips him and the slipper breaks before she is able to try it on, but Cinderella pulls out the second glass slipper from her pocket and tries it on instead.

The Grand Duke is about to take her to the castle when Lady Tremaine's negativity summons the gigantic Cursed Coach Unversed to murder the princess, since she is now free and no longer useful. Aqua manages to destroy it and bring her safely to Prince Charming. Charming is at first surprised to see that Cinderella is in fact a servant girl as opposed to the princess he believed her to be, but nevertheless accepts her for who she is.

Some time after Xehanort's defeat, she is dancing around the ballroom with the prince while Jaq and the Fairy Godmother look on. However, the castle from her world was later found by Aqua inside the Realm of Darkness.

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Eventually, Castle of Dreams was consumed by the Heartless. Cinderella was taken and held deep within Hollow Bastion until all seven Princesses were collected.

When Sora is in his Dive to the Heart, he sees a stained-glass likeness of her depicted on top of a blue-colored pillar.

Once her heart was restored after Sora selflessly sacrifices himself using the Keyblade of heart, she stays behind in the castle of Hollow Bastion with the other five princesses to hold back the darkness lurking out of the Final Keyhole, until Sora returns and closes it. Though the Final Keyhole is sealed, Cinderella and the others feel another dark power approaching from somewhere else (End of the World where Kingdom Hearts is held), and asks Sora to stop Ansem, Seeker of Darkness from fulfilling his evil plans while they remain behind to protect Hollow Bastion.

When Kingdom Hearts is sealed, she returns to her own world.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

The DTD dataspace in Space Paranoids is sealed with a password composed of the seven Princesses' names: "Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Alice, Jasmine, Cinderella, Kairi".

Design[edit]

The straps of this dress sport puffy disks decorating them. She also wears a white headband, white earrings, and a black choker. Though usually hidden by her dress, Cinderella wears her famous glass slippers in this outfit as well. She also ties her hair into a bun. In the original Kingdom Hearts, Cinderella wears this outfit, albeit her hair and dress are brighter in color. In her Awakening emblem, Cinderella's hair is brown and her dress has a slight blue tint.
