What are the names of Cinderella’s stepsisters?
Anastasia and Drizella are characters in the fairy tale and pantomime, Cinderella. They are the daughters of Cinderella's wicked stepmother, who treat her poorly. Anastasia and Drizella have been in variations of the story from as early as researchers have been able to determine. Unlike the Grimms' version of the fairy tale "where the sisters were themselves 'beautiful and fair in appearance,'" Disney's 1950 film based on the story names the sisters Drizella (voiced by Rhoda Williams) and Anastasia (voiced by Lucille Bliss) and presents them as ugly and foolish. Southwest Texas State University's Department of English identifies various distinguishing characteristics of Drizella and Anastasia, such as exaggerated and naked feet emphasizing physical nature and a big bustle emphasizing clumsiness, which contrast with their more positively presented counterpart, Cinderella. Disney describes them as simply "spoiled, awkward, and ungainly."
