Most unfortunately, Lady Tremaine overheard the entire conversation, and was stung to the core by it. He also confirmed that he still missed her dearly. The promise she made to her mother was what enabled her to shrug off whatever misgivings she had after her stepmother and step sisters were officially welcomed into the family, especially given her stepsisters' unpleasant attitudes.ĭuring what was to be his last heart-to-heart chat with Ella, her father assured her that her mother was always present, though she could not see her, and that was why they must always cherish the house for her, for she was the very heart of it. However, Ella's father was "much changed" by his wife's death, though - after securing Ella's approval and blessing - he remarried. She also begged Ella to forgive her for leaving, which she tearfully did, and the family of three shared one final hug before she passed away.Įlla's mother's death was a very great blow to her family, though Ella eventually learned to move on, and always lived by the promise she had made to her: she was courageous and kind to all, as well as a loving and devoted daughter to her father. On her deathbed, she made Ella promise that she will always be courageous and kind, for - as she explained to her - kindness has power and magic, and would see Ella through all the trials that life could offer. However, when Ella was only ten-years-old, her mother contracted an illness. She also appeared to have a habit of singing Ella to sleep. When she and her husband were still living, Ella was known to all by her original name of Ella.Įlla's mother loved her family dearly, especially her daughter, whose pure heart and open-mindedness she helped to cultivate: she encouraged Ella's belief in extraordinary things, such as animals being able to listen and understand human languages, and that Fairy Godmothers who functioned as the caretakers of human beings actually existed.
It was the very first time that she was seen onscreen, given that her previous appearances were only in storybooks relating to Cinderella. In the live-action re-imagining, Ella's mother was portrayed by Hayley Atwell and her role was expanded, like her husband's. Moments later, the dress is torn apart by the stepsisters to prevent Cinderella from going with them to the ball. Her stepfamily overburdens her with chores to prevent Cinderella from attending the ball, so her animal friends adjust her mother's dress themselves. Cinderella decides to wear a pink dress that had belonged to her mother, but when the shows the dress to her animal friends, she realizes it is too old-fashioned and decides to restyle it. Lady Tremaine reluctantly allows Cinderella to attend, provided she can find a suitable dress to wear and finishes all of her chores. Years later, Cinderella, now a young woman, receives word of a royal ball at the King's palace, where - by royal command - every eligble woman in the kingdom must attend. Shortly thereafter, Cinderella's father dies, and Lady Tremaine, revealed to be jealous of her stepdaughter's beauty surpassing her own daughters', begins mistreating her, forcing her into servitude while exhausting the family's savings upon Anastasia and Drizella. His second wife is widowed noblewoman Lady Tremaine, who has two daughters of her own from her previous marriage: Anastasia and Drizella. However, still feeling Cinderella needs a mother's care, he decides to remarry. Her widowed husband begins giving Cinderella every luxury and comfort imaginable to try to compensate for her mother's absence.
However, in the live-action remake, she was shown to have long blonde hair, brown eyes, and wore a varicolored dress.Ĭinderella's mother does not physically appear in the original 1950 film, but is alluded to in the opening narration she lived with her family in their château, but died of unknown causes when her daughter was very young. In Cinderella's Royal Wedding, Cinderella's mother was shown to be a beautiful fair-skinned woman with dark brown hair tied into a bun, violet eyes, wore a yellow gown.
