**Snowtab Steven Studios** is the titular and main character of **Snowtab in the Void**, he is the most present character and the series is commonly saw through his eyes (not POV).

Snowtab has gone through a lot in the series so far, he's been killed by Mr. Triangle and reformed with his current look, and he's become 'Void Mates' with Tabsnow, and in "Lust", he and Tabsnow were put under a 'lust' spell casted by Mrs. Triangle. In "Sleepover", he has a strange dream which hasn't been explained as of yet, he has a similar dream in "Romancing the Snow".

In "Romancing the Snow", Snowtab is seen without his hat for the first time in the series. In "Eye, Roommate", he and Mr. Triangle start living together as roommates.

## Background

### Inspiration

Snowtab, unlike the other characters is inspired by a real cat of the same name. According to Ryan Jay, Snowtab was his favorite cat as a young boy, before the cat passed away in 2016, which is what inspired Ryan to make him into a character and eventually have him star in his own TV Show as a way to remember his cat. The other variations of his fur colour was inspired by Snowtab's double meaning name, which both referred to his fur colour. The name "Snowtab" means "white with tabby fur" as in "White = snow" and "Tabby = tab. Despite his name's meaning, Snowtab is depicted as a White cat with black fur in the cartoon, though this could just be a simplified effect of tabby fur.

Snowtab's outfits throughout the series have also been inspired from multiple pieces of media, such as his hat being from Super Mario, his shirt being worn by the title character from Steven Universe, and his original backpack being inspired by Banjo's backpack from the 1998 video game, Banjo-Kazooie.

### Leadership Skills

Throughout the series, Snowtab has shown at multiple points that he is capable of leading a group, convoy or battle all by himself. This is mostly seen when he is with the other characters against Mr. Triangle, where Snowtab is usually seen guiding the others through the situation and asking everyone when they are ready for battle.

This is shown most in "Sleepover", where Snowtab breaks up Tabsnow and Greytab's fighting on multiple occasions to keep the evening peaceful, and then guiding the others towards getting ready to battle Mr. Triangle.

Snowtab also frequently uses a shield as weapon of choice, a shield is common across leader characters, due to the nature of a shield being that it protects your companions.

In "The Return of Mr. Triangle", Snowtab gives himself up for Tabsnow in order to keep everyone safe, while he fails, he doesn't know until Tabsnow follows him in, signifying that Tabsnow could be his second in command.

In "Gluttony", when the space void is under attack from Bro Triangle, Snowtab is the one to go and fight him, eventually getting himself engulfed by accident.

Though he definitely has skills as a leader, Tabsnow eventually shows himself to be the better candidate as leader, becoming Mayor of the Space Void.

### Shield Wielding

In "Sleepover", Snowtab chooses a shield as his weapon of choice, this is due to the fact he wants to protect his friends in battle, linking to his aforementioned leadership skills. This leads to "The Return of Mr. Triangle", where Snowtab uses his shield in a few significant scenarios, including a scene where he protects Gingtab from an incoming Lust Spell Projectile, and a scene where he blocks the incoming Lust and Pride Spell Projectiles from getting him, Gingtab and Tuxtab and so they can figure out a way out of the the situation they are in. In "Chase Against Time", Snowtab blocks a random spell created by Mr. Triangle from hitting him, his part self, Tabsnow and Greysnow.

### Religious Beliefs

Snowtab is depicted as an atheist in the series, this has also been confirmed by the creator. In fact, an early catchphrase among a few characters would be when a character entered a new location or interacted with a new object, they would say "Where in God's fake ass name am I?", which is a pun on the phrase "Where in God's name am I?". Snowtab seems to be the one who uses this most however, despite it being used by Tabsnow, Greysnow and Cloudsnow as well.

### Gender

Though referred to with he/him pronouns by everyone, Snowtab has shown signs of femininity throughout the show, such as wearing prominent pink clothing, wielding pink weapons, and overall just being a big fan of the color pink, he also refers to himself as Li'l Triangle's "best step mom" in "Sloth". This femininity is acknowledged by Gingtab in "Tux-Snow", though due to it being Gingtab, whether or not this is a genuine insight is unclear.

This is finally addressed in "Article 1: The Undecided Law", where Snowtab admits to not knowing whether to label himself a male or a female, though his true gender is still not certain, probably due to Snowtab not knowing himself.

### YouTube Channel

In "B.E.L.U.G.A." we are introduced to Snowtab's YouTube channel, where he makes Snowtab in the Void as a self-reference to the show and it's creator. In the episode Snowtab uses Tuxtab's algorithm to make content that'll get lots of views, but eventually settles on going back to Snowtab in the Void, as he has more fun making that content, even if it doesn't garner that many views.

## Appearance

Snowtab is a white cat with a black fur colored head, he has a pink nose and 3 whiskers on each cheek.

### Original

At the start of the series, Snowtab wore a red shirt with a yellow star on it, while wearing a blue backpack and a red hat with an S on it. His outfit was inspired by other characters, specifically Mario and Steven Universe.

### "Reflection" to "Untying the Knot"

In "Reflection", Snowtab starts wearing a new outfit, this new outfit consists of a blue shirt with a yellow star, a pink cap with an S on it, and a pink varsity jacket with white and pink rims, like before, Snowtab's outfit is inspired off of Mario or Steven Universe.

### Current

In "Divorced", Snowtab is seen with a new outfit on, instead of the Steven Universe style clothing, he now wears a pink shirt with a blue star on it. Snowtab's hat now contains no S on it, making it look different to simply being a Mario reference.

## Personality

Snowtab is laid-back and chilled, he is skeptical of his accomplices, but also sometimes a little gullible, he isn't very smart a lot of the time, but he does think of himself as having the "Greatest Style". In the season 2 episode, "Void Mates" Snowtab is shown to have remorse for his actions in the fact that he'd make up for making Tabsnow uncomfortable. In the same episode, Snowtab is shown to have curiosity (reference to his animal) in the fact that he starts to wonder what Tabsnow said in "Giant White Space". In the episode, "Rebirth", Snowtab is also shown to have charity, and is selfless towards Tabsnow when he lets Tabsnow come to live in his void with him.

Snowtab's flaw is that he can insult people and that his curiosity can get to the better of him, he also has a hard time trusting people who has wronged him. In "Gluttony". it's revealed that Snowtab sometimes bottles things up rather than sharing his feelings, in this situation it's about the effects of Mr. Triangle's villainy in relation to Greysnow. This distrust of previously bad people is shown once again in "Reflection", where he is one of the snowtabs to not trust Mr. Triangle's said redemption, insulting and questioning Mr. Triangle on many occasions in the episode, this is furthered in "Eye, Roommate", where his stand-off-ishness can be seen even after forgiving Mr. Triangle back in "Tri Hard".

In the episode "Romancing the Snow", Snowtab is shown to be nervous around girls he likes, which in this case is Rainbowtab, but eventually learns to be more confident when he learns that Rainbowtab also liked him too, and that he shouldn't of been so nervous to tell her his feelings.

Snowtab has also been shown to be one of the more sensitive of the group, most of the time he can get emotional to the things around him, getting sad/depressed, though he is shown to be good at fighting these feelings when he surrounds himself with his good friends.

* **Shield Summoning -** In "Sleepover", Snowtab decides that his unique power should be the ability to summon a shield, he will use this in sync with Gingtab's ability to summon a sword.
