Upon her father's death, Iris is slightly at odds with the world and often contemplates the value of beauty and ugliness.

Iris secretly helps Clara get to the ball and the prince immediately falls in love with her.

That night, the fairy tale of Cinderella and her pumpkin carriage is spun, and the next morning her prince comes to collect her.
