Cinderella is a young woman with medium-length strawberry-blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion. After her father dies, she is forced into servitude in her own home and is tormented by her evil stepmother and two stepsisters,  Despite this, she displays hope through her dreams and remains a kind, gentle and sweet person. She demonstrates faith that someday her dreams of happiness will come true and her kindness will be repaid. Cinderella is shown to have a down-to-earth attitude, but she has also demonstrated to be  a daydreamer. For example, in "Sing Sweet Nightingale", she becomes distracted with the bubbles, allowing Lucifer to smudge the floor she was cleaning. She is also shown to have a sarcastic side and a sharp wit.

The relationship between Cinderella and her stepmother is complicated and can best be described as between captor and captive. This is best demonstrated when the stepmother seeks to punish and abuse Cinderella psychologically, motivated by her jealousy of Cinderella being far more beautiful than her own awkward daughters. This hatred is shown in the sequence where she overhears Cinderella dreamily humming the song "So This is Love" as she heads to the attic, and realizes that she was the mysterious girl at the ball. Hoping to pass off one of her daughters as the mysterious girl, Lady Tremaine follows Cinderella up to the attic and locks her in her room, putting the key in her pocket.
