Cinderella

Character

Cinderella is the beautician's Stand of Aya Tsuji in Diamond is Unbreakable. Working from the pseudo-science of physiognomy, it swaps out facial features to sculpt a joyful face and, in doing so, bends its client's luck in love. The catch is that the makeover fades in half an hour.

Overview

Cinderella is wielded by the salon owner Aya Tsuji during Diamond is Unbreakable. The Stand looks like a slender feminine robot with long jointed limbs and a rounded, legless lower half, its chest full and its waist narrow above a bra-styled top. Its eyes read as stylish spectacles and its crown rises in a beehive shape. Color art paints it a solid pink in the manga, while the anime shifts the shade across different sections of its body. Every one of its powers bends toward cosmetic work and nothing else.

Mechanics

The Stand runs on the old pseudo-science of physiognomy, the notion that a person's face governs their fortune. Aya believes that reshaping a client's features into a cheerful, appealing look literally rewrites their fate, letting her steer the kind of love life they will have, and she extends the same logic to reading palms and feet. To do it, Cinderella pulls a replacement part from slots in its hand and slides that hand into the body to swap the feature out, working from a design she plans on a computer. The client has to hold still or the job goes wrong.

Ordinary makeovers wear off after thirty minutes, a limit Aya exploits to keep customers coming back. While they last, anyone the client targets feels a helpless pull of attraction no matter how the client actually looks, even someone who once found them repellent, and it drops away the instant the half hour passes. The Stand can also lift features off one person and graft them onto another, as it does to disguise Yoshikage Kira, and those transplanted changes are permanent, holding even after Aya's death. It remembers every face it has altered and can conjure floating templates of each original.

Making a change stick demands proof of commitment. The client must reapply a special lipstick every thirty minutes across a full day, sleep aside, since the lipstick seals in the energy that holds fate in place. Miss the schedule and the face twists into ugliness as a penalty before the improvements slowly drain away, though Aya can restore the body if she chooses.
