Snow White

**Snow White** is the first princess introduced and given a happily ever after in the series. Her role is to eat a poisoned apple and fall into a deep slumber.

## Appearance

Snow White is a beautiful woman with pale-white skin, brown eyes and long black hair. She wears a brown embroidered headband and a brown dress with an apple-motif on the neckline.

## Personality

Snow White is a very spoiled and lazy princess, thinking that since she is royalty, she shouldn't have to do anything. She has some morals, as she was worried about Robin when the Demon Trees attacked her hut and felt somewhat sorry for the Prince Charmings the Demon Trees had already killed.

## Synopsis

### Before Forever After

Snow White was born to a good Queen who died shortly after having her. Snow White's father soon after remarried a vain and cruel woman who became known as the Evil Queen. The Queen had a magic mirror whom she asked everyday who the most beautiful woman in the kingdom was. The mirror always answered that the Queen was the most beautiful, until one day, it answered that Snow White had surpassed her. The enraged the Evil Queen, and she ordered a hunter to kill Snow White. But the hunter spared her and she took off into the woods to hide.

Snow White then found refuge from her stepmother with seven dwarves, who gave her shelter and food in return for keeping their house. However, the mirror soon revealed to the Evil Queen that Snow White was still alive and living with the dwarves. The Queen tried twice to kill Snow White herself, both by disguising herself as a peddler. She first tried to suffocate Snow White with a corset that was far too tight, then tried putting a poisoned comb in her hair, but both times after she left, Snow White was revived by the dwarves by simply removing the items.

The third time, she fed Snow White a poisoned apple. This time, the dwarves could not revive her, but they didn't have the heart to bury her, either. Instead, they placed Snow White in a golden coffin and watched over her in the woods.

In the original story, a king's son saw Snow White and begged to take her home with him. His servants picked up the casket, but one stumbled and disturbed Snow White, knocking the bite of poisoned apple out of her mouth and reviving her. The king's son then took her as his bride, and the Evil Queen, coming to the wedding after being told by her mirror that the new bride was the fairest, is forced to wear red hot iron shoes at the reception and dance until she dies.

In Forever After, thanks to the meddling of the Wicked Witch, the Prince Charmings who found their way to the cottage where Snow White was sleeping never managed to awaken her. Most of them, not knowing the original fairy tale, tried to wake Snow White up by kissing her and died from the poison still in her body. Others were killed by the Demon Trees the Wicked Witch had positioned in the story or the Huntsman.

### Forever After

Eventually a Prince Charming named Robin entered Snow White's cottage. As she, unlike her predecessors, knew the original story, she didn't try the kiss-method, but instead made Snow White cough up the poisoned apple by cutting off one of the legs of the table Snow White was lying on and letting Snow White fall onto the point of her boot.

Snow White wasn't too thrilled about being woken up however, asking for more time and attempted to go back to sleep. When Robin demanded she help finish the story, Snow White complained that a princess should not have to do anything. While Robin was distracted by her disappointment over Snow White's rotten character, the princess went back to sleep under the ruined table.

She would only wake up again when Robin loudly proclaimed that the queen was coming to her wedding, which Snow White immediately objected to. Snow White was dismayed to find her cottage was under attack by the Demon Trees, lamenting that they'd killed the last Prince Charming. As the situation grew more dire, Robin asked Snow White if she was ready to be given her Happily-Ever-After. Snow White was uncertain, starting to ask what would happen to her once the story was finished, but Robin merely read the end of the story without paying attention to Snow White's question.

## Relationships

### The Queen

The queen is Snow White's evil stepmother and the one responsible for all the attempts on Snow White's life in her story. Snow White greatly dislikes her, so much so that Robin pretending the queen wanted to attend her wedding got her to wake up from her sleep and declare that the queen would do so "over [her] hot coals."

### Robin

Robin and Snow White only knew each other briefly, but it was enough to shatter Robin's ideal vision of princesses. Snow White seemed apathetic to Robin, but it's possible that her feelings for the Prince Charming grew more positive, as the picture for her story's Happily-Ever-After shows her clinging to and smiling happily next to Robin.
