Have you seen Cruella yet?
first introduces Estella -- her government name -- as a rebellious, temperamental child living in the pre-punk '60s. Her mother coins the name"Cruella" for when Estella acts out, making it something between an alter-ego and a split personality. Young Estella is an outsider, made immediately evident by her unnatural black-and-white hair, and is bullied at school. She's also, it should be noted, a dog lover and takes in a stray she names Buddy.
Shedding Estella -- the well-behaved, thoughtful young girl her mother wished her to be -- and assuming the identity of the anarchic Cruella, she sets out to ruin the Baroness, first kidnapping her Dalmatians, then ruining her spring collection, all the while stealing attention with Cruella's own rising profile in the fashion scene. This is the Hannah Montana-fication of Cruella.
