Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

When a ball is held at the Castle of Dreams, all unmarried women are invited for the prince to find a bride. The two and Lady Tremaine, attempts to keep Cinderella from going along by giving her endless chores to finish and preventing her from finding a suitable dress. When Ventus and Jaq make one for her, Anastasia and Drizella tear it apart, accusing Cinderella for stealing their materials to create her gown. However, their plot failed when the Fairy Godmother makes a new dress for her and a pumpkin carriage to transport her to the ball. Anastasia is unable to identify Cinderella during the party as she is too far away from Anastasia to see her. Her anger at having to watch the Prince dance with an unknown woman, as well as her hatred to the said woman, contributed to the summoning of several Unversed in the balcony above them, including the Symphony Master, which was defeated by Terra.

After the ball, Prince Charming asks the Grand Duke to search for Cinderella with the glass slipper. When he finally reaches their house, Anastasia attempts to make the shoe fit her oversized foot, but Cinderella proves to be the true owner of the slipper. The Duke takes Cinderella with him back to the Castle, only to be confronted by Lady Tremaine and a powerful Unversed who intend to murder Cinderella, knowing that she is now free from them. This act, however, causes the three women to be hit by one of the Unversed's attacks and suffer an unknown fate. Aqua then states that they were overtaken by the darkness in their hearts.

Much like her sister, Drizella is a spoiled young woman. She's extremely selfish, snobbish, cruel, and rather lazy, instead forcing Cinderella to do all of the housework. According to her journal entry, her singing voice is poor; unimproved despite taking expensive lessons. Although Drizella often fights with Anastasia, sometimes over trivial things such as clothing, she is most heartless towards her stepsister, whom she loathes because of her natural beauty. Drizella is also shown to be a sadist, laughing evilly as she watches Cinderella get attacked by the Cursed Coach. Like Anastasia, Drizella strictly adheres to her mother's guidance and ways, no matter how wicked or cruel the deed. According to the Fairy Godmother, Drizella's heart is full of darkness and almost completely devoid of any light.

Origin

Anastasia and Drizella first appeared in the 1950 Disney film, Cinderella. They are cruel and unkind to Cinderella, and does not want her to go to the ball. When the footman tries to fit the glass slipper on their foots, they at first thinks her foot fits, but it does not. They later appears in the film's sequels, Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, as well as the TV series, Disney's House of Mouse.

However, Anastasia gradually becomes nicer and less antagonistic as she attempts to find her own true love in the sequels. While she played an antagonist role in the first film, she was a protagonist in the third film, with her mother trying to get Prince Charming to fall in love with her.
