Synopsis

Motherella Character Analysis

Background: Motherella is the only child of a broken home. Her mother died after a brain injury (due to domestic violence). Her alcoholic father did not care for her. So she found guidance from strict aristocrat women. They taught her how to only care for yourself, and how to steal money...by gold digging. Her experiences caused her to become cold and cruel to her daughters and anyone she "loves". She dreams of her daughters marrying a rich man, so they can cater to her needs

Cinderella's Godmother gives her fair warning about her makeover. Once the clock strikes at midnight the magic makeover would be gone. Cinderella hurries to the ball and has a blast with the prince. Before she can give her name, the clock strikes 5 minutes before midnight. She hurries home but accidentally leaves the shoe with the prince. The prince seaches the whole kingdom for her by seeing if the shoe fits each girl in the kingdom. He finally finds her and they live happily ever after.

In a modern Twist on the classic Cinderella story, Cinderella, an innocent and naive girl is a slave to her step mother (Motherella) and her step sisters. Meanwhile, the kingdom's king tries to find his son, the prince, a bride by putting together a ball. Everyone is invited, but Motherella forbids Cinderella to go. After her mom and sisters leave, Cinderella is approached by her Fairy Godmother(the narrratorof the story). She helps Cinderella get dressed with magic. Instead of glass slippers, Cinderella gets to wear her favorite thing, the combat boots her father gave her before he disappeared.

Setting

Headpiece- A black Headband Sinamay Hat(AKA funeral hat) to the ball. (This isnt her party so she isnt celebrating it

Hair A-Line Bob cut. A simple cut, so she doesn't have to style it often.

Makeup-Thin Eyebrows, thin lips, purple/black smokey eyes, pale foundation, coutured cheeks. (This was the style of the aristocrats which was adapted by her)-Video

Jewelry-An green brooch, last item from her mother before her death.

Dress-Maroon A-Line top with a sash right below the bust. with a maroon flared skirt with a 12 inch train in the back.

Shoes- Black kitten heel flats she can quickly run to Cinderella and yell at her, while still looking stylish.

Props- a white lace fan, again adapted by the aristocrats

The setting is in a fanatsy world of Brekinridge. They have some technological advances such as guns, and phones(rotary), but the rest of their world is defined as a isolated country so no influences from other places. They only trade with one neighbooring country, and they have horses as transportation. Architecture replicates Ancient Roman towns such as Pompeii.

This would be Cinderella's Home
