Lady Tremaine (also commonly known as the "Wicked Stepmother") is the main antagonist of Disney's animated Cinderella film series.
As the cold-hearted stepmother of the title character, Lady Tremaine doesn't harm her stepdaughter physically. Rather, she seeks to punish and abuse her psychologically, motivated by her jealousy of Cinderella being far more beautiful and graceful than her own awkward daughters, Anastasia and Drizella. Lady Tremaine was also a socialite, determined to gain higher status by marrying one of her daughters to Prince Charming or another bachelor of noble blood.
After being defeated once for all, Lady Tremaine and her oldest daughter were deprived of their high social status as socialites by instead becoming scullery maids and forced to work at the King's Castle for all of what they done.
In the original film, she was voiced by the late Eleanor Audley. In the two sequels, she was voiced by Susanne Blakeslee.
What Makes Her a Hate Sink?[]
- She loves to treat her stepdaughter Cinderella very poorly and loves making her life miserable.
- She love to seek in psychologically abusing and punishing Cinderella for her own amusement.
- She also forced Cinderella to work as a scullery maid.
- She did not care about the death of Cinderella's father.
- She provoked Drizella and Anastasia into ruining Cinderella's dress before she was about to go to the Royal Ball.
- She locked Cinderella in her room after finding out she was the girl Prince Charming was looking for in order to stop them from reuniting.
- Once Jaq and Gus freed Cinderella from her locked room by stealing Lady Tremaine's key, as a last ditch effort, she stuck out her cane to cause the page boy to trip and break Cinderella's missing glass slipper. She was even smiling while the Grand Duke was crying over his presumed fate if the King found out about the incident, proving she doesn't even care about other people's fates as long as Cinderella's life is still miserable.
- It should be noted that she lied to the Duke that there's no one else in the house.
- She never faces any sort of consequences for her actions in the first movie.
- In the second movie, she tried stopping Anastasia from forming a romantic relationship with a baker by belittling her and trying to stop her from seeing him.
- She forced Drizella and Anastasia to perform Cinderella's former housework in the beginning of the third movie without even taking part in the housework.
- She reset time after stealing the Fairy Godmother's wand just to make Cinderella's life even more miserable by making the glass slipper fit Anastasia and altering Prince Charming's memories so he would think that he danced with Anastasia instead.
- She later tried getting Cinderella sent away and even killed in order to stop her from meddling with her plans.
- She called her guards incompetent when they failed to grab Cinderella.
- She at one point threatened Drizella for her incompetence, telling her that if she continued to mess up, she'd be next to be banished from the kingdom.
- She stopped caring about Anastasia once the latter redeemed herself.
- She attempted to seize the whole kingdom by transforming all guards into various animals and would have succeeded in doing so, had it not been for the interventions of Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Trivia[]
- Lady Tremaine's 2015 live-action film counterpart doesn't count as a Hate Sink, as in that version she truly loved both of her late husbands, and didn't become an abusive stepmother to Ella until after she found out the latter father would never love her like he did Ella and his first wife. When the news of her second husband's death came, she was also visibly upset that his dying words had only been of Ella and her mother, and that even his dying memorial had solely been for Ella. Even then, when her two biological daughters inquired about their lack of promised gifts, she snapped at them by stating that it did not matter, for they were all ruined, and lamented about how they were to live. While these reasons give her no excuse to abuse Ella, they do give her a sufficient motive for why she hates her, and make her three-dimensional.
