## Personality

Snow is a kind, thoughtful person and always puts her family and friends first before her. Unlike her Disney counterpart, Snow White isn't as naive or a damsel in distress as her. She is more of an action type of girl and sometimes doesn't need a man to help her. However, as a child, Snow was arrogant and spoiled, thinking herself better than the common folk, but she later realized that her mother was right, and Snow became a good person for the better.

After going out on her own, Snow was very desperate in leaving the Enchanted Forest, but remained kind and courteous, even helping heal an injured woman (without knowing that this woman was Regina.). She was very much in love with Charming but was concerned for his well-being when King George threatened to have him killed. She became very sad and miserable, which led her to drink the memory potion to forget David. However, when she drank the potion Rumpelstiltskin gave her to forget Charming, she became cold, distant, and downright mean, even mistreating the dwarves who helped her out. She was very vengeful, bent on killing her stepmother for killing her father and sending a huntsman in an attempt to kill her. However, Snow was extremely remorseful when she re-awoke from the enchantment and replaced the mug and said it was the only thing broken she could replace.

## Appearance

Snow stands about five feet seven tall. She had long wavy black hair and green eyes. She has skin white as the snow and red lips the color of a rose.
