This character was not in earlier versions of Cinderella. Who did Perrault introduce to the fairytale?

Earlier versions of Cinderella also didn't feature the Fairy Godmother. Instead, Cinderella's dead mother's spirit often made an appearance in the form of an animal or plant. The Fairy Godmother was Perrault's invention and a good one at that.
