What is the name of Cinderella's thinner stepsister?

The story behind the answer

Cinderella’s thinner stepsister is named Drizella.

Drizella Tremaine is one of Lady Tremaine’s two daughters in Disney’s 1950 animated Cinderella. She is portrayed as the thinner, more angular sister, while Anastasia is shorter and rounder. Both are vain, spiteful, and eager to gain the Prince’s attention, and both treat Cinderella as a servant.

Drizella is often mixed up with Anastasia because the sisters usually appear together and share similar behavior. Lady Tremaine is not a stepsister at all; she is Cinderella’s stepmother. Cinderella herself is the mistreated heroine, not one of the Tremaine sisters.

The names are Disney-specific character details rather than essential names in every older version of the fairy tale. Disney’s film gives the stepsisters distinctive personalities and comic mannerisms, especially during the ball and the slipper-fitting scenes. Drizella and Anastasia also help destroy Cinderella’s handmade dress before the Fairy Godmother creates her famous gown.
