Anastasia
 is the youngest daughter of Lady Tremaine, the younger sister of 
Drizella Tremaine, and one of Cinderella's evil stepsisters. 
Anastasia
 and her mother and sister constantly plot to ruin and torment 
Cinderella and have no qualms about hurting her feelings. Lady Tremaine 
is well aware of her daughters' harsh and cold-hearted and even violent 
mannerisms and can trigger Anastasia and 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 jealous daughters prepare to leave for the Prince's ball, Cinderella appears wearing her beautiful homemade gown. Lady Tremaine notes that Cinderella is wearing a pearl necklace that belonged to Drizella, who rejected it on the claims she was sick of the sight of it.
After Lady Tremaine casually points out to Drizella that the necklace adds a charming touch to the dress, Drizella flies into a rage and yanks the necklace from Cinderella's neck, which prompts Anastasia to realize that Cinderella is wearing her sash and the duo proceed to rip the dress about, leaving Cinderella devastated.
Anastasia and her sister 
attend the ball with their mother but are outshined by Cinderella in 
disguise. In the end, the Prince chooses Cinderella over Anastasia and 
Drizella and the two of them live happily ever after. 
In this 
sequel, Anastasia acts as a major protagonist in the third and final 
story segment, "An Uncommon Romance", abandoning most of her wicked ways
 after falling in love with the Baker. Lady Tremaine and Drizell 
disapprove of the relationship, due to the Baker's low status. 
Cinderella attempts to help the two of them be together and in the end, 
she succeeds, with Anastasia and the Baker falling in love. 
Anastasia
 acts as the secondary antagonist turned tritagonist. Prior to this, 
Anastasia finds the Fairy Godmother's wand and delivers it to Lady 
Tremaine, who uses it to change the past and make the shoe fit 
Anastasia's foot instead of Cinderella, leading the Prince to choose her
 instead. However, Anastasia eventually has a change of heart and 
realizes she doesn't truly love the Prince. She reveals their evil plot 
to everyone and helps stop her mother and reunite Cinderella and the 
Prince. Anastasia was spared by the king and forgiven by everyone, 
particularly Cinderella herself, who subsequently invited Anastasia to 
live in the palace with her and the Prince. Anastasia was later reunited
 with the Baker, now free to pursue her own life without Lady Tremaine's
 interference.
