Trivia

 * In some cultures, the tale of Cinderella is called "The Little Glass Slippers".
 * Cinderella's interactions with Rumplestiltskin allude to the original fairytale.
 * The name "Cinderella" is of French origin derived from the name "Cendrillon" that means "little ashes".
 * Among the numerous fairytale illustrations pinned to the wall in Henry's room, are two copies of an illustration by the artist and book illustrator Helen Stratton, from a 1903 edition of Grimms' Fairy Tales. The image depicts a scene from the "Cinderella" fairytale, in which a bird gives the titular character a beautiful ball gown. One image is pinned next to Henry's door, while another copy can be seen among the images adorning the wall next to Henry's bed.
 * The Fairy Godmother, who appears to Cinderella, is also patron to King George's family.
 * Cinderella and Snow White were pregnant at the same time. However, Snow White gave birth before the Dark Curse arrived and Cinderella did not. This resulted in her counterpart Ashley's twenty-eight years long pregnancy until giving birth following Emma's arrival to Storybrooke.
