Drizella

"With that green thumb of yours, you must know the thing about ivy... In order for it to grow, it has to cling to something else. I've long known she would seek aid and approval."

- Victoria to Eloise

Etymology
Production Notes=
 * The name "Ivy" is a reference to the ivy plant, which has to cling to something else, like trees or buildings, in order to survive; much like Drizella/Ivy does to her sister, then her mother, and then Eloise Gardener. Victoria makes a reference to this in "Eloise Gardener", where she compares Ivy to the plant and says that in order for it to grow, it has to cling to something else.
 * It is also a reference to Ivy being a member of the Coven of the Eight: Just like fellow coven members Eloise Gardener, Doctor Sage and Hilda Braeburn, the name Ivy comes from plants.
 * It is also a reference to the color ivy green. In Disney's Cinderella, Ivy's original counterpart, Drizella, always wears clothes in the shade of green.
 * The last name "Belfrey" is a reference to the word "belfry", which is part of a bell tower or steeple in which bells are housed. Ivy's mother, Victoria Belfrey, is the CEO of Belfrey Towers, and her original counterpart was also locked up in a tower.

Production Notes

 * When the first Cinderella's stepsisters were re-introduced in Season Six, the writers considered naming one of them "Drizella", but they ultimately chose to call them Clorinda and Tisbe. According to Jane Espenson, the reason is that there were already two characters whose name ended with "-ella": Cinderella herself and Cruella.
 * According to Adam Horowitz, Drizella is "deliciously evil". He also added that "she takes a lot of abuse from her mom. But I wonder how long that will last".
 * Adelaide Kane revealed that her slogan for Drizella is "buttoned up and bitchy". She also described her character as "a very high-strung, slightly ditzy young woman and she's just very petty", comparing her to "that awful bully in high school". However, she also explained that Drizella "doesn't know how to win people to her side, so she's just alone, snappy, snarky, sarcastic and miserable all the time".
 * Anna Cathcart, who plays Tween Drizella in "One Little Tear", played the role of Drizella's daughter, Dizzy Tremaine, in Descendants 2.
