She
is the elder daughter of Lady Tremaine and elder sister of Anastasia
Tremaine and Cinderella. She is portrayed as very jealous of
Cinderella's success and beauty and often gets her into trouble. She is
portrayed as haughty, bossy, abusive and highly disorganized.
Drizella
and her mother constantly plot to ruin Cinderella and have no qualms
about hurting her feelings. Lady Tremaine is well aware of her older
daughter's harsh and cold-hearted – and even violent – mannerisms, and
can trigger Drizella's anger with a mere handful of casually delivered
words. In a particularly distressing scene in the original film, as Lady
Tremaine and her daughters prepare to leave for the Prince's ball,
Cinderella appears wearing her beautiful homemade gown. Lady Tremaine
notes that Cinderella is wearing beads that belonged to Drizella, who
rejected them on the claims she was sick of the sight of them. After
Lady Tremaine casually points out to Drizella that the beads add a
charming touch to the dress, Drizella flies into a rage and yanks the
beads from Cinderella's neck, and along with Anastasia, lunges upon her
stepsister and tears her gown to rags, leaving Cinderella devastated.
Later on throughout the series, Drizella turns on Anastasia and torments her, being able to physically intimidate her. Although she seems to be awed by her during the story An Uncommon Romance, after Anastasia openly rebelled against their overbearing mother and told her she was in love with a baker of low-birth and that she was happier with him than she would ever be with the wealthy suitor Lady Tremaine had hoped she would encounter at another palace ball. Angered, Lady Tremaine stormed off, leaving Drizella stunned, though she sided with her mother and returned home with her.
Unlike Anastasia, who eventually liberates herself
from her mother's domination, Drizella obeys her mother's every order
and schemes with her to undermine her hated stepsister, Cinderella,
though they are foiled by Anastasia and as punishment, they are removed
of their wealth and status and are reduced to working as scullery maids
in Cinderella's palace.
She is portrayed as haughty, abusive,
and sadistically cruel. She sets so many bad examples of spitefulness
towards Cinderella for her younger sister to follow, that between them
Anastasia's the better of the two. Highly unorganized, and, in the
Kingdom Hearts series, murderous, she is contemptuously envious of
Cinderella's success and beauty and often gets her into trouble. Unlike
her younger sister Anastasia, who changes her spiteful ways and develops
into a kind and good-natured woman, Drizella remains mean-spirited and
cruel, and never overcomes her hatred of Cinderella. She is also de
picted as having slovenly eating habits in the third movie, where she
samples the food and the wedding cake being prepared for her sister's
wedding by shoving handfuls of it into her face and eating them noisily.
In the sequels, though not in the original film, Drizella is
essentially a younger version of her mother.
