I've already made an article for link, link, link, link, link, and link and thought the next person on my list should be Cinderella! I plan on making an article about all of the princesses, since I do love them all, so don't worry if you haven't gotten one about your favorite yet, it's coming! Anyway let's just get in into the article!

Cinderella's gone through a roller coaster ride on my list. For a long while she was last, but ever since recently watching her movie she's been fluctuating between fourth and eighth. As of now she's sixth for me, and I'm going to explain why. The main thing I love about Cinderella is how realistic she is. It's a quality that it pretty rare, especially for the classics, and it's a quality that not enough people give her credit for. The way that she deals with the whole thing with actual bitterness and resentment is real to me. I can feel her anger, her sadness, her hope. It all seems like real feelings that someone would feel in the situation.



Another quality I love about her is her sarcastic humor. For example when she's talking about Lucifer and she says something along the lines of, "Well he's got to have some good qualities!" Also when she says, "I guess I have to go interrupt their-singing lesson", "I suppose the ball would be dull and boring, and completely wonderful", and "Oh that clock, even he bosses me around!" (I probably got all of those wrong, but I was just doing so off memory) I can tell just through those four instances that she's definitely got a sense of humor, probably one of the best senses of humor of the line up. I think her humor should get more praise, as she is quite funny, and I'd love spending time with her because of that.



I love her because of her strength. She's the strongest princess to me, not Mulan, not Pocahontas, but Cinderella. She has to deal with so much, too much from her step-family. I don't know about you guys, but I'd certainly crack. She pulls it off with elegance and a smile on her face. She knows that if she was to complain, if she was to rebel, it'd just get worse for her. I hate when people say, "Oh, she should've just ran away," And be homeless? Do you really think someone's going to hire an eighteen year old girl without an education and pay her enough money to buy a home? The fact that she doesn't just punch them all in the face gives me major props to me.



I love her dreamy and kind attitude. Her optimism is a trait I admire, since as I've said in the past it's a quality that I'd much prefer to the "The whole world hates me" attitude, that is popular in a lot of pop culture today. Even though nothing has gone right for her, she continues to believe that one day everything will work out and she'll live her happily ever after. I also love how kind she is to everyone. As I said above, she never once snaps at her step family, even when they're unbearable. Also, she spends her little free time freeing mice and knitting small clothes for them. How sweet is that?



To conclude, Cinderella is amazing. Her strong mentality, her snarky and sarcastic humor, and her resentment all make her a layered and interesting character. I just can't help but feel for her whatever she's going through. When she gets her dress ripped up it's one of the saddest moments of Disney for me because we just know how much she deserves it. Cinderella is definitely much more than a "passive doormat" and I hope you all can see that Cinderella did all she could. Cinderella is amazing and I'm glad that her fan base on here is slowly growing. She teaches us to never give up on our dreams and that dreams do come true in the end. She's a role model for people of all ages, and she'll forever have a fan in me.
