Origin

Cendrillon ou la Petite Pantoufle de verre, known in English as "Cinderella", is a fairy tale popularized by French author Charles Perrault in his 1697 collection Histoires ou contes du temps passé. Perrault's story is very similar to Italian author Giambattista Basile's La gatta Cennerentola, which was published posthumously in 1634 in the Pentamerone; Perrault either used Basile's work as a source or independently recorded a variation of the same tale.

Perrault's version of the story is as follows: a girl is mistreated by her step-family and given two derisive nicknames: Culcendron ("ash-arse") and Cendrillon ("ash" with a diminutive suffix). Her step-family goes to a royal ball, leaving Cendrillon behind; however, Cendrillon is able to attend the ball with the aid of her godmother, who is a fairy. The godmother transforms Cendrillon's worn-out rags to beautiful clothes and a pumpkin into a carriage. The godmother warns Cendrillon not to stay past midnight, for her clothes and carriage would transform back. At the ball, Cendrillon dances with the king's son, but leaves when midnight approaches. The same happens the next day; however, this time she loses one of her glass slippers on the way out. The king's son searches across the land for the girl he danced with, and he eventually finds Cendrillon, verifying it was her due to the slipper fitting. They wed, and Cendrillon's step-family begs for forgiveness.

While the story entered the European literary canon with Basile and Perrault, the core elements—a mistreated girl meeting royalty at an event, fleeing, being identified by a lost shoe, and marrying the royal—are much older. The earliest known version is oft-cited as Rhodopis, a tale recorded by Strabo of a hetaira from Lesbos who marries the king of Egypt, though this tale lacks much of the modern elements, having only the identification by shoe and marriage to royalty in common. A much closer parallel can be found in the Chinese tale Ye Xian recorded by Tang-era writer Duan Chengshi in the 9th century.

Gameplay

Persona 5 Royal

PersonaBoss

When Sumire awakens, Cendrillon begins at level 43 with a specific skillset. When Sumire joins the party in January, Cendrillon is automatically leveled up to 75 with a mostly new skillset. Additionally, Sumire and Cendrillon appear during the casino escape sequence at level 60 in the game's intro and level 53 during the actual events on 11/19, but in either case she automatically uses a special variant of Vorpal Blade which is guaranteed to land a Critical on all enemies, followed by an All-Out Attack. During the intro, a variant of Cendrillon is used with its name obscured as "???" and its model shaded black, the same as is done for Arsène during this sequence.

When Sumire's Confidant reaches rank 10, Cendrillon evolves into Vanadis.
