The story of Cinderella has circled the globe many times over. People love to hear the story of beautiful young woman going from the depths of despair and servitude to finding her prince and happiness. If you loved this story, you'll love even more the story of her step-sisters, especially the other step-sister, Adela Maron the oldest step-sister. Adela was the daughter of her father and his first wife, Clara. Adela came into Cinderella's life when she needed help the most. Adela was her fairy godmother and helped her get to the ball and meet her prince. Cinderella was Adela's first job as a godmother. Since she was only half fairy, her magic wasn't as long lasting as it could be. That was why the pumpkin coach, the footmen, and the dress all disappeared at midnight. The slippers remained because Adela bought them with her own money as a gift to her half-sister. Those glass slippers need to survive to help Prince Charming find his Princess.. After the kingdom heard of Cinderella's treatment at their hands, the step-sisters were shunned and hated. This broke the girls' hearts. They realized how mean they'd been, how thoughtless. Then the Countess married a man more evil than she thought of being. Sir Tyrone forced the step-sisters to work as Cinderella had worked. They were hungry, abused, and unhappy. In this situation, they became better young women. They vowed to be better people. Cinderella wrote long letters to them. She visited them several times after the wedding. When she saw the treatment her sisters received, she decided to help them by calling another sister, Adela to help. Adela bulldozed her way into the castle to be their fairy godmother and change their lives around. She looked for princes every bit as wonderful as Cinderella's Prince Charming.
