Drizella: Ugly Stepsister Time Looper [Disney’s Cinderella Fanfic]

They say inner beauty matters more than outer beauty. Drizella had neither. Luckily, she was a time looper.All Drizella ever wanted was to marry a prince. But the competition was rough. Her stepsister, Cinderella, was perfect in every way. A creature of beauty, intelligence, and elegance. Every step she took was graceful, and her singing voice was divine. If that wasn't enough, she also had the power to command mice and birds to do her bidding. They were her little servants - helping her dress and bathe, and even stealing for her. Oh, did I forget something? Right, she also had a literal fairy godmother magically fulfilling her wishes. Sure, she was required to do some chores around the house, but what of it? How could Drizella, who possessed neither outer nor inner beauty, nor any talent to speak of, ever compete with that? Through a shit-ton of repetition!What to expect: •  Ugly MC.•  Talking mice.•  Sentient (but sub-linguistic) birds.•  Hell (later).•  Slow burn. Drizella is not Zorian, so give her time to bloom.•  Luuuceeefeee!So how many loops ‘til that sweet royal kiss?More things: •  Until the time loops kick in, the story is faithful to a fault to the Disney original (but told from Drizella’s POV). •  Story setting is early 19th-century France and strives for historical accuracy. •  It is not at all necessary to have seen the original movie (or remember it well) to enjoy this book. •  Cover art by Sajjad S.
