Snow White

Snow White is one of the five Demonic Princesses featured in Black Souls I, as a minor antagonist. She rules over her section of the Lost Empire, Snow White Castle, and, consequently because of her role, blocks entry into the Inner Lost Empire. Her name is derived from the character of the same name in a fairytale written by the Brothers Grimm, "Snow White." Her death or the formation of a covenant with her is required to confront Cinderella.
==Appearance==
Snow White's physical appearance is that of a normal looking girl with white skin, rose colored eyes, and light blue hair that reaches down to her shoulders, with a fringe that hovers above her eyes. Her clothing is described as a simple dress, with a light aqua button up, a white collar and short, puffed up sleeves. A large red bow wraps around her head, and she sports white stockings that reach over most of her thighs, rimmed with a red lace. Her sprite in battle is different, likely due to her own insecurities about herself despite claiming how beautiful her body is: her bow and most of her dress disappears, replaced with a slightly pointed, double horned hat that obscures most of her hair, and a black cloak. Her chest is covered instead by her hair; midway through her thigh, the remnants of a skirt drape on the ground around her, held together around the midsection above her pelvis. 
As her true form, she takes the appearance of a silver, serpentine, crocodilian-like monster encased in ice snaking around itself almost to emulate a blizzard, its features and teeth serrated and deliberate, complete with red eyes. 
==Personality==
Snow White's demeanor is as cold and distant as the castle she rules over, normally towards any stranger that doesn't offer their help towards her. She's quick to understand the motivations behind others' actions, perceiving that Grimm asks for a covenant with her in order to enter the Inner Lost Empire. Simultaneously, she's also cynical, judging others to extreme ends, and cannot tolerate liars or people who break promises. She's quite insecure when it comes to herself, as she becomes more certain to call herself beautiful when the rest of her peers are dead. This may notably be thanks to the mirror's judgement of who is the "fairest one of all." 
Her particular obsession of becoming the "fairest one of all" and therefore the most beautiful is an endless fixation that is only fulfilled when her peers perish; according to the mirror, she can't be deemed that while the other Demonic Princesses are still alive and well. Such an object she seems to take for its word seriously, and it's something that she trusts more than any other person, aside from the face of her husband, who she'll support given that he follows through with her desires.
While her hate for the other Demonic Princesses is obvious, if her mission is completed, she'll realize that this was not something she wanted all along. She comes to understand that her own hatred stemmed from her obsession, as well as the mirror. However, this is a realization that she undergoes far too late, and therefore possibly regrets.Snow White Post-Cinderella dialogue
==Biography==
Due to her similarity with the original fairytale, her backstory is also similar, with some alterations. Her fairytale denotes that she had a stepmother who she murdered out of jealousy, but who apparently harbored jealousy for her, as well. Snow White may have never known of her feelings at all, or if she had, did not believe that her stepmother would genuinely think such a thing. Either result, alongside the acquisition of the mirror and its determination of who is the "fairest of all", leads to her current feelings of insecurity about herself. The seven dwarfs are also present, serving her without question.
Upon seeing that she isn't quite the "fairest of all" due to the existence of the other Demonic Princesses, she obsesses over their deaths and attempts to eliminate them for another 1810 years, by any means necessary. She resorts to recruiting members of the Black Trial to execute her peers, but, evidently without much success.Snow White Battle - Miranda Summon dialogue Despite the length, she hasn't let up from doing so.
The remainder of Snow White's story is influenced by Grimm's actions, or lack thereof.
Grimm's arrival to Snow White Castle occurs after this time frame, while she's asking the mirror who is the "fairest of all." He has the option of immediately asking for a covenant with her, or simply trying to kill her, initiating a battle. Should Grimm do the former, she deliberates on his request, understanding that he asks for such a thing in order to enter the Lost Empire. 
It doesn't take very long for her to decide on a deal: kill Rapunzel, Little Mermaid, and Princess Frog, and not only will she commit to the covenant, but she'll also become Grimm's wife. Killing her from here on will always be an option.
If Grimm follows through with her deal and defeats the three princesses mentioned, Snow White becomes very satisfied with the results after checking the magic mirror, complimenting the undead and calling him her prince before triggering an H-Scene. Afterwards, she tasks him with killing Cinderella to finally ensure that she becomes the "fairest of all" as deemed by the mirror. Her demeanor by this point is almost manic, likely as Grimm finally completed a desire of hers that has been ongoing for over a century. The princess showers him with encouragement before he embarks for the Inner Lost Empire; with three princesses dead and one bounded by covenant, it fulfills the conditions necessary to enter through.
If Grimm continues to follow through with the request, leaving Snow White alive and killing Cinderella, he can come back to the basement of Snow White Castle to talk to her again, triggering a cutscene. She will restate that she always believed in him since he had killed the other three, before laughing in victory. This is, however, not a feeling that lasts for very long, and she soon cries out of sorrow, an emotion that she herself is confused by.
She soon realizes her true situation and position: not as a princess, but rather as a pawn in Mary Sue's game. Angered by the latter's actions of rewriting her history, she curses the god out, calling her preposterous and absurd, but is quickly struck down by an unknown force, implied to also be Mary Sue, due to her remembrance. Before perishing, she asks that Grimm remember her and the other princesses as one final request. He can answer "I will" or "I won't", but regardless of his decision, it won't change her fate, only changing the flavor text that follows. She thanks the undead if he accepts, before apologizing as she finally disappears.
==Relationships==
===Demonic Princesses===
The hate she exhibits for her peers is apparent; despite being one of the Demonic Princesses, she can barely stand knowing that they exist, only due to the fact that she can't be the "fairest one of all," at least according to her magic mirror. Her peers Rapunzel and Little Mermaid admit that they miss the others' companyRapunzel Post-Cinderella dialogueLittle Mermaid Post-Cinderella dialogue, but Snow White appears to be the only one that would seem to abhor the idea of meeting back together.
However, if Grimm fulfills her desire and kills every Demonic Princess, including Cinderella, she feels elated initially, but then realizes how cruel and low she's become towards her own friends. Before she dies, she requests that Grimm remembers not only her, but the rest of her peers, showing that she regrets ever wanting them dead, and perhaps not spending more time with them.
===The Black Trial===
Her relation between the Black Trial and herself appear to strictly be out of business. As a Demonic Princess herself that's naturally tainted with sin, she's had to bribe them with souls or otherwise in order to hunt down her peers instead.
=== Grimm===
She initially sees Grimm as nothing more than an eyesore, although her curiosity doesn't stop her from asking who he is, likely knowing the perils one would have to take just to get to her castle. Should Grimm lie about killing the other princesses, she'll be irritated by the statement and attribute him as useless before attempting to kill him. 
Conversely, if he follows through with her covenant conditions of killing Rapunzel, Little Mermaid, and Princess Frog, she becomes satisfied and puts her utmost trust and belief in him, with her attitude becoming more enamored by his person. By this point, he's one of the few people that she genuinely trusts, aside from the mirror and her dwarfs. 
She's genuinely scarred by his betrayal if he decides to kill her while in a covenant with her, describing it as a coldness that even she cannot handle.

==Trivia==
* As she's based off of her story counterpart, she shares similarities to the original fairytale:
**The magic mirror presented in the story is also present here.
***While in the original tale, it could tell no lie, it's possible that this mirror was altered by Mary Sue in order to fuel Snow White's obsession.
***The stepmother was the only one to use the mirror in the original, meanwhile here, Snow White has used it likely for far longer than her parent.
**The Seven Dwarfs' presence are notable, all with their personalities.
**A conversation with one of the denizens of Snow White Castle reveals that Snow White doesn't like apples, speculating that perhaps it's some sort of trauma.
***Her weakness to sleep and poison is also a reference to the apple, which, in the original story, was poisoned and put her into a coma.
**Snow White seems to have taken the place of her stepmother as a corrupted person in a position of royal power; her role and personality, particularly her coveting for beauty, mirrors that of the stepmother's demeanor in the original tale.
**The prince is also present, in the form of a fishman that can convert your Herb Flasks into Herb Flask M's. 
***However, he's never mentioned at all by Snow White, only ever debatably alluded to in a conversation with Victoria.Snow White - Victoria Summon dialogue
*Snow White's death will cause the dwarfs to disappear, as well as the inhabitants of Snow White Castle to melt. 
**Talking to the prince will additionally cause a battle to occur. Defeating him will cause Grimm to accrue one sin.
**Should Snow White perish due to Mary Sue, the game will treat it as if Grimm had killed her himself. The original effects as denoted by the above information will still apply, including her prince's aggression towards Grimm.
*She is the only Demonic Princess that acknowledges the presence of Mary Sue, as well as remember herself prior to the god's overwrite of her story.
*Her obsession is the only one out of the Demonic Princesses that can be fulfilled by Grimm, as the murder of the princesses, in comparison to her peers' desires, is something that can be fully realized in-game. 
**Due to the rules of Mary Sue's game, however, she's punished for reaching this goal.
