A name format based on the fairytale "Cinderella", where the eponymous character is given a Portmanteau nickname of "Cinder+Ella". Recently "X+Ella" has been a popular way to name some characters. This seems to be even more common for comic books, but it's not particular to them.
It should be noted the the suffix "-ella" is one form of a Latin dimunitive ending; coincidentally, another form is found in another name you might find on TV Tropes -- Caligula.
Examples of Ladyella include:
- Again, name comes from "Cinderella", although it was meant to be something cruel and demeaning, to remark on how she would get covered in ashes as a servant.
- Emberella from Witches Abroad is a direct parody.
- Barbarella
- Vampirella
- Stripperella
- Tsunderella
- The Non Adventures of Wonderella has several such named characters.
- When Leela gets superpowers in Futurama, she calls herself "Clobberella".
