* The short story ''The Glass Slip-Up'' (by Louise Cooper, featured in ''The Mammoth Book Of Comic Fantasy'') depicts Cinderella herself as this: she's every inch the beautiful girl of the original, but personality-wise she's rude, crude, obnoxious, has poor table manners, and is implied to have some truly bizarre sexual fetishes that frighten her royal husband. Turns out the "evil" stepmother (who's portrayed entirely sympathetically, as are her daughters) had very good reason to keep her out of the social eye. Much of the story is about the prince trying to track down her fairy god mother (actually a magical con artist) and make her fix the mess.
