In the Grimms’ version of Cinderella instead of a fairy godmother it’s her dead mother’s ghost that gives her supernatural aid. I think they took a page from those versions of Cinderella were it’s the ghost of a family member.

I personally see Newspaper Club Member as being another fairy godmother figure to Sumire too. She’s very protective of her and there being implications that Sumire admires her too. Given that the glasses she wants to give her father are red just like Newspaper Club Member’s.

Ooo! Very interesting! I love that!! 😊

In the Opera Cendrillon her father says very early on “Weep for me, Philemon.”

This could be indicative of The Yoshizawas having some sort of knowledge of or connection to Philemon the true master of The Velvet Room.

Unfortunately ,Atlus has done exactly nothing with this and probably never will.

I can't really say on this one other than it being an interesting fact about the opera sadly. I guess it would have been another neat thing for Atlus to add but idk, maybe the twins not having ties to Philemon works better for me (though Philemon being the reason Kasumi's spirit was able to fuse with Cendrillon I can see being a thing possibly).

If you want an other Cinderella adaptation that might be relevant to Royal there’s The Glass Slipper a 1955 MGM film where Ella chopped off her hair in a suicidal depression the prince loves her “sad” rebellious eyes and the fairy godmother is called a disgraced lady with a reputation for being a thief she doesn’t use magic to help Ella just her connections and befriending her. It’s a pretty cool version I recommend it.

Ohhh that sounds really interesting! I'll definitely look into it! 😁
