| —'The First Cinderella' Parable, The Final Cinderella | ||
Ella Blom was a minor character learned about in the fifth Dark Parables game, The Final Cinderella.
She was the first of four Cinderellas that were helped during Amelia's reign as Godmother.
Ella is based on the main character of the French folktale, Cinderella.
Appearance and Personality[]
As Ella is deceased at the time of The Final Cinderella, her appearance is only known through a doll figurine that depicts a lovely young woman with sandy brown hair and brown eyes. This doll initially wore a simple dark blue dress and dark pink shoes but was later dressed up by the Fairytale Detective in a royal pink European-style ball gown, a silver tiara and matching necklace and a pair of beautiful glass slippers.
As with all Cinderellas, Ella possessed a pure heart and the virtues of courage, honesty, kindness, and persistence.
History[]
Ella's mother died when she was young, and her father remarried a mean and selfish woman with two daughters of her own. When Ella's father died, her stepmother treated her poorly, forcing her to work in the kitchens like a servant. When the Prince held a ball to find a wife to marry, Ella was forbidden to attend.
Godmother Amelia came to the girl and helped her by transforming her ragged clothes into a magical dress and Glass Slippers to wear. She also enchanted a pumpkin into a gorgeous Pumpkin Carriage to take Ella to the ball. Once there, the Prince was captivated by Ella, and the two fell in love.
Ella Blom married her beloved Prince, and the two lived happily ever after. Considering the number of relics and monuments to this original Cinderella tale at Hilltop Mansion, it is likely that Ella and her Prince once lived there.
