* InnocentlyInsensitive: Cinderella is still her sweet self, but it’s shown she has NoSocialSkills due to her father isolating her. She repeats her father’s words that she isn’t allowed to call Lady Tremaine “Mama”, and of her own mother always being lady of the house, no matter whom else her papa weds, not understanding that such things are hurtful to her stepmother. What’s more, Cinderella’s intense loyalty and love for her father blinds her to his less-than-noble traits, that she does not think it a betrayal telling him that her stepmother was trying to leave him. This act, sadly, sets off Lady Tremaine’s hatred for the girl, and with it, the events in the original story.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Gaston comes off as a nicer, less misogynistic person in ''The Beast Within'' than he is in ''Beauty and the Beast'', although he is still a villainous figure by the end of it.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: Compare to his determination to have Belle as his wife no matter what in the Disney film, he stops pursuing her when it's clear she won't return his advances and discouraged the Prince from doing the same.

Added DiffLines:

* TheDutifulDaughter: She is fiercely loyal and considerate to her father’s feelings, and would do anything he asked of her. Sadly, this is a tragic example, as her love for her father blinds her to his faults.
* FatalFlaw: Cinderella has her father Sir Richard up on a pedestal and believes he can do no wrong. She cannot recognize that he is abusive to her stepmother and stepsisters, and does not even imagine he would hurt Lady Tremaine when she warns him that she is trying to leave.


Added DiffLines:

* OfficialCouple: With the Prince.
* RagsToRoyalty: The poster girl for this trope.
* RichesToRags: She went from a beloved daughter of a wealthy household to a maid for her WickedStepmother, who hated her for unintentionally foiling her plans to escape.
* TheStoolPigeon: An Obedient Olga-type. Cinderella didn’t know why her stepmother wanted to leave her father, or that she was doing anything wrong by telling him. She thought she was just being TheDutifulDaughter as always and giving her father a heads up. She had no idea her father was abusive and would attack her stepmother for trying to escape. Sadly, this one little mistake sets forth the tragic events of her beloved fairytale.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: For herself. If only Cinderella hadn’t told her father about Lady Tremaine’s plans to leave him, her stepfamily would have been gone, and they would not have killed her father or have her ForcedIntoServitude.

Added DiffLines:

* TroubledAbuser: Lady Tremaine loved Cinderella at first, but Sir Richard was terribly abusive to her and her daughters. When Lady Tremaine planned to escape in secret, Cinderella told her father, not realizing the consequences or why she’d want to leave. Sir Richard attacked his new wife and locked her in her room until she submitted to his will. Bitter and desperate, she killed Sir Richard to escape his abuse. Her abuse of Cinderella afterwards is revenge for squealing to her father and ruining her best chance to get out.


Added DiffLines:

* AbusiveParents: Even though he clearly adored his child, he spoiled her and kept her shut away from society so that she had NoSocialSkills, and taught her to obey orders without question. Even if he had the best of intentions, keeping his child isolated and valuing her obedience above all else is bad parenting. And that’s not even mentioning how mean he is to his stepdaughters.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Even from what little we saw and heard of Cinderella’s father, it was always heavily implied that he was a kind man and devoted father who did no wrong. In ''Cold Hearted'', her father, Sir Richard, is actually an [[DomesticAbuse abusive husband to Lady Tremaine]], [[GoldDigger having married her for her first husband’s inheritance]] and forcing her to cook and clean for the family. Not only that, he abused Anastasia and Drizella, always seeing them as less than his own daughter, who, while adored by her father, was kept isolated by him and taught to obey him without question, which we all know will end up biting her back in her predestined future.
* GoldDigger: He seduced the widowed Lady Tremaine for her inheritance from her first husband.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: He wasn’t named in his brief appearance in the movie, but in the book, he is named Richard.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything Richard does, he does for the sake of his daughter’s well-being and happiness. However, he’s so wrapped up in fulfilling his own child’s needs and desires, he completely neglects those of his second wife and stepdaughters, to the point where he abuses all three of them when he believes they will be a threat to Cinderella’s future.
* WickedStepfather: Whether you can believe it or not. Like Lady Tremaine in the future/original story, he blatantly favored his biological child and abused his stepdaughters. He forced them to help their mother, whom he also abused, with the household chores, and denied them the opportunities that he gave Cinderella freely.


Added DiffLines:
