Cinderash
The Cinder-Girl of the Stroke of Midnight
Magic wears off. So don't put too much faith in it.

Profile
The magic of the ball wore off at the stroke of midnight exactly, and she was pinned in place as a cursed thing that appears at that very moment. Her single glass slipper is cracked, and peering into it shows you the everyday, unglamorous self you least want anyone to see. The pumpkin carriage has rotted into a pumpkin skull, and the rat coachmen are worked in shifts by the very rats Fuefuki brought along. During the witching hour of midnight she stands at the pillow of anyone still up too late and gently says, go to bed already. That's all she does.
Relationships with other curses
The coachman rats are on loan from Fuefuki. There is suspicion she works in league with Nidoneba over the drowsiness that hits at midnight.
How to deal with this curse
Cinderash embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
