==History==
 
{{Before First Curse|nohide|
 
Having two daughters of her own named [[Clorinda]] and [[Tisbe]], Lady Tremaine gains a stepdaughter by marrying [[Cinderella (The Price of Gold)|Ella]]'s father, though she is unsatisfied with the lack of wealth and status. After he passes away, she makes Ella into a maid of the household and is relentlessly cruel to her. One day, she comes by to see if Ella is done cleaning yet. When Ella states she is not, Tremaine calls her out for failing in the the task, to which the blonde points out that neither of Tremaine's daughters are helping to clean. To this, Tremaine coolly explains that, had Ella's father left her with money, she could've hired a proper staff, but instead, he only had Ella. When [[Jacob]], [[Prince Thomas]]' footman, arrives to deliver an invitation to the [[King (The Price of Gold)|King]]'s ball, Tremaine notes that they were expecting the Prince's butler, not his footman. Clorinda goes to take the invitation from Jacob, but not before insulting him for his lowly status. Unknown to Tremaine, this is an act that Clorinda is putting on because she and Jacob are actually in love and plan to secretly elope. Seeing the invitation as an opportunity for her daughters to dazzle the prince and gain a marriage proposal from him, Tremaine begins picking out which dresses they will wear to the ball. She finds none of them are good enough and declares she'll have to sell the porcelain to buy them new gowns. Ella asks if she can go as well, and shows them a gown she inherited from her deceased mother. Tremaine takes the dress and gives it to Clorinda, who puts it in the furnace. Afterwards, Clorinda coins the nickname "Cinderella" for her stepsister, which she, Tisbe and Tremaine laugh over. {{Ep|The Other Shoe}}
 
 
One evening, after forbidding Cinderella to leave the house, Tremaine and her daughters leave on [[Lady Tremaine's Carriage|a carriage]] for the ball while Cinderella stays behind, sadly watching them leave. At the ball, Tremaine sees Cinderella dancing with Thomas, who excuses himself to meet privately with Clorinda and give her a rose, which is a message from Jacob. Tremaine remains unaware of this, and instead persuades Cinderella into believing Thomas was just making fun of her because she's only a maid, which upsets Ella so much that she departs from the ball, leaving behind one of her glass slippers. Thomas later finds the slipper and decides to search for her. That night, Ella learns of Clorinda's plans to be with Jacob, and knowing Tremaine will never let her be, she gives her stepsister a key to the [[Land of Untold Stories]], where she can never be found. Tremaine is furious upon discovering her daughter is gone, and learns Ella is the glass slipper girl that Thomas is in love with. Realizing Ella knows where Clorinda is, she threatens to destroy the remaining glass slipper until Ella admits her stepsister is at the guard tower. Tremaine then spitefully drops the slipper, allowing it to shatter, before going to find her daughter. Discovering Clorinda with Jacob, she knocks the footman out, intending to do more damage to him, if not for Ella's intervention. Ella reveals her engagement to Thomas, while Clorinda is livid that she tattled her out to her mother. Tremaine, disgusted that Ella has gotten everything while she has nothing, decides to pause her own story by going to the Land of Untold Stories, and she drags Clorinda along with her. {{Ep3|The Price of Gold|The Other Shoe}} }}
 
{{After Third Curse|nohide|
 
Along with other [[Land of Untold Stories|Untold Stories]] residents, Lady Tremaine and [[Clorinda]] are forced onto a dirigible by [[Mr. Hyde]] and taken to [[Storybrooke]]. She and her daughter are later approached by [[Henry Mills|Henry]], who writes down their names on a complied list of new arrivals. With help from the [[Evil Queen (Serum)|Evil Queen]], they learn [[Cinderella (The Price of Gold)|Ella]], now known as [[Ashley Boyd|Ashley]], is in town, the pair lure her to a [[Storybrooke Pumpkin Farm|pumpkin farm]], where Tremaine takes hold of the hunting rifle that Ashley had. Tremaine has Clorinda keep watch on their captive, while she goes to bring in [[Jacob]], her daughter's past love as well as the owner of the farm. Clorinda, unaware of Jacob's presence until Ashley tells her, is soon reunited with him once Tremaine hauls him in. Tremaine means to kill him, but Clorinda begs Ashley to fix things like she promised. Ashley attempts to appeal to Tremaine's feelings, in that she is hurting but she shouldn't be taking things out on others. Tremaine is unmoved, and rather than the rifle, she uses her cane to stab Ashley. When Emma comes to heal Ashley, Tremaine tries to grab the rifle, but Hook stops her from getting it. The two stepsisters make up afterwards, and Tremaine is sentenced to community service as her punishment. As the woman is picking up garbage on the farm, [[Leroy]] supervises her work, telling her to hurry up. {{Ep|The Other Shoe}} }}
