The story of Masked Cinderella (Cinderella in disguise)
The story of Masked Cinderella (Cinderella in disguise) is driven by its innovative concept, which takes the famous Cinderella story and updates it in a very original way. The protagonist of the series is a normal teenager of the 21st century, with problems as a teenager of the 21st century, except that she lives in a magical kingdom whose inhabitants are all characters from classic fairy tales.
Cinderella studies at Brothers Grimm High School, with unique classmates, such as the rebellious Little Red Riding Hood, the Antisocial Beast and the Little Mermaid, a famous princess influencer. Additionally, she lives with a foster family consisting of her goofy stepmother and hideous half-sisters.
Most people think that Cinderella is just an insignificant little girl. They don't know that she is indeed the famous masked heroine who defends the kingdom from monsters and injustices - with a little help from her friend Merlin, the young wizard's apprentice.
