Anastasia

In the film Cinderella and its sequels, Anastasia Tremaine was the daughter of Lady Tremaine, sister of Drizella, and step-sister of Cinderella. She evolved from being spoiled and selfish to wanting to find true love. Cinderella helped her courtship with the local baker with whom she had fallen in love. Anastasia played the flute.

In Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Anastasia was known as the Red Queen. She originally traveled to Wonderland with her love Will Scarlet, but life as a petty thief did not suit her. She gave up Will to marry the Red King for a life of riches and comfort. Before her marriage, she met Cora, the Queen of Hearts, who taught her magic. Many years later, she teamed up with Jafar in hopes he would help her break the laws of magic so that she could go back in time and stay with Will. Her plans to change time failed, but she and Will eventually rekindled their relationship and she became the White Queen.

Anastasia is the female variant of the Greek name Anastasius, which means 'resurrection'. In 2015, Anastasia was the 216th most popular name for girls in the United States.
