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.
