While she is, indeed, ungrateful and rather ugly in the first movie, she's portrayed as being merely plain (compared to the beauty of Cinderella) rather than ugly as she becomes a more sympathetic character, and shown to have been ugly only as a result of Tremaine's upbringing. It's possible that she was favored by Lady Tremaine, as in the third film, she chose Anastasia to wear the slipper and marry the prince when she altered history using the Fairy Godmother's magic wand (though it could be due to her finding the Fairy Godmother's wand), as Lady Tremaine had keenly exploited Anastasia's desperation for love. ![]() However, Anastasia had a romantic side, as she had once felt a desire to fall in love with Prince Charming (upon whom her mother had placed a love spell to get him to love her), coupled with lingering guilt over her mistreatment of Cinderella. After speaking with Charming's father about love, she later realized that she wanted to be loved for who she is and not because of a spell or a trick. She defied her mother, returning the wand to Cinderella and apologizing for everything she'd done. ![]() This repentant act earned her forgiveness from everyone, particularly Cinderella herself, and also the King who wanted Anastasia to keep the seashell his own wife had given to him, telling her everyone deserves love. Anastasia's repentance also prompted Cinderella to allow Anastasia to move into the Castle.
