I think there is only one way to make the Ana and Ella thing work, and that is to make Ana one of four sisters, and Ella her much younger stepsister. Here's my head canon, for how they would do it: Anastasia is the oldest of four girls born to Lady Tremaine and Lord Tremaine. Beatrice is the second oldest, Colleen is the third oldest, and Drizella is the youngest. However Lord Tremaine dies, and Lady Tremaine marries a widower with a daughter named Ella (I'm going with Lady Tremaine has some obsession with her girls being named in alphabetical order XD) Beatrice marries a prince, while Anastasia runs away with Will (as we saw), much to the chagrin of Lady Tremaine. With Anastasia in Wonderland, and Beatrice far away with her prince, Ella's father dies, and Lady Tremaine does not have the money to keep up the estate and its staff, so she forces Ella to be the servant, while she tries to find princes or noblemen for Colleen and Drizella to marry. Because Ella is always covered in ash, Colleen and Drizella start calling her Cinderella. Then the events we saw in The Prince of Gold happen.

Thoughts?
