“*Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a powerful thing, but living with that kind of belief... That's the most powerful thing of all.*”
―Snow White
**Snow White**, formerly known as **Mary Margaret Blanchard**, is one of the main characters in *Once Upon a Time*. She is the daughter of King Leopold and the stepdaughter of the Evil Queen Regina. She is the wife of Prince Charming, the mother of Emma Swan and Prince Neal, the mother-in-law of Captain Hook, the grandmother of Henry Mills and Hope Swan Jones, the great-grandmother of Lucy Mills and the grandmother-in-law of Cinderella.

Snow White is portrayed by Ginnifer Goodwin as an adult and Bailee Madison as a child. She is based from the fairytale "Snow White", the fairytale "Snow White and Rose Red", and the Disney's film *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*.

## Background

Snow White was born during one of the harshest winters the Enchanted Forest ever had. She was born as a princess in her kingdom, for she was the daughter of King Leopold and Queen Eva. Her parents named her "Snow White" for not only the snow, but also Snow White's snow-white skin. Her mother died when she is twelve years old on her birthday because Eva was poisoned by Cora with magic. She later told the secret that Regina told her to keep, causing Regina's hatred for Snow to fester.

In her adult hood, still doted by her father, said parent died and Regina took over the throne. Snow befriended Red and helped her escape from the men hunting for her and Ruby choses her friend over her kind. Eventually, both of them depart because it is safe for Red. Snow later becomes a bandit and steals from Prince Charming, both of them falling in love with each other during their journey.

She also meets a dwarf named Grumpy. Both of them are saved by Stealthy, but it results in the eighth dwarf's death. The seven dwarves promise to protect Snow White by housing her in their house, but as the potion deepens in her, Snow White becomes cold and cruel to her friends, and she later tosses herself out of the house. David and her meet again seeing that he loves her. Unfortunately, David is captured by George's men and Snow White launches a rescue party to save him, with Ruby, Granny, and the seven dwarves as her allies. To later save Charming from death, Snow White bites the poisoned apple and galls into the sleeping curse, which is later broken by David as he kisses her. As the two of them are married, the Evil Queen threatens the company with the curse.

The two of them later go on the quest to discover the truth to find a way to break the curse with the Queens of Darkness following them. Maleficent then realizes Snow White is pregnant because the tree will only answer to two heroes not three and the potential their daughter could become evil. They do this by removing the darkness from Emma and put it in Lilith, causing her to be put in the real world. Desperate to find out more, Snow White and David go to Rumplestiltskin, who says only their unborn child can be their savior. Snow White planed on going into the wardrobe with her daughter, but Snow unexpectedly gives birth to Emma before the curse hits leaving Emma to be left alone and Snow is trapped in Storybrooke as **Mary Margaret Blanchard**.

### Personality

#### *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*

“*Oh! What a cute little chair. Why, there’s seven little chairs. Must be seven little children. And from the look of this table, seven untidy little children.*”
―Snow White regarding the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White is the sweetest and most gentle princess. She is naive, resilient, sentimental, helpful and very kind, but can also be quite assertive and has the sternness of a mother; this is shown when she warns the dwarfs to wash their hands or they'll get nothing to eat, and when she scolds some of the birds after they attacked the Evil Queen in her old hag form. She is also shown to be quite playful, as she teased Grumpy by laughing when he hit his nose as he left to wash in a huff, and teasingly said "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?".

Snow White is a dreamer and a romantic girl, but she is willing to work extra hard if there needs to be in order to earn her keep. She enjoys singing, dancing, cooking (which is thanks to her stepmother making her to be a scullery maid in her castle), daydreaming, and a love of animals. However, her kindness and selflessness can often blind her judgment, and she is quick to break rules if it means to help someone in trouble (as seen when she helped the old crone when her animal friends began to ambush her). Snow White is always quick to rebel against anything that will go against her high moral values, such as when she let the disguised Queen enter the cottage, thinking her as a sickly, old peddler, despite the warnings from Grumpy.

Possibly because both of her parents have died when she was young, Snow White is very empathetic towards the dwarfs when she assumed they were a group of orphaned children when she thought they had no mother or father in the first place. Snow White is well-known as an optimist; even when others were rude to her, or when things looked grim, she always had a positive outlook on life.

Snow White is the most pure-hearted princess; she is never mean-spirited, unfriendly, unsympathetic, callous, or headstrong, and, because of her resilience and hopeful nature, she shows a great inner strength against adversity. This is an example of the fact that one does not have to be physically tough to be strong.

Snow White is coined as the Fairest of Them All; this is because of her purity showing much more beauty than her stepmother the Evil Queen's vanity and jealousy. She can also be playful, and somewhat sassy, as she takes advantage of Grumpy's sour disposition and initial dislike for her by teasing him, and continuously ignoring his rude remarks by keeping a soft smile or cheery glow, as opposed to acting out of shock, much to Grumpy's annoyance.

Though generally childlike and gentle, Snow White can also be assertive, with the authoritative nature of a mother. Once she takes residence in the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White takes control of the household, turning it from an unkempt hovel to a clean and humble environment, something the dwarfs show acceptance and delight over. She furthered her authority by giving the dwarfs a designated bedtime, as well as forcing them to wash in order to eat dinner; and despite some initial reluctance from the Dwarves, they were ultimately unable to bypass Snow White's firm attitude. In addition, she showed leadership potential when guiding the animals around the house during their cleaning session, successfully instructing them on how to best clean the house and various items inside.

Having been turned a slave in her own home by her stepmother the Evil Queen at a relatively early age, Snow White is hard-working. In spite of her servant work being forced upon, she was shown to be efficient with her chores. In the dwarfs' cottage, she didn't hesitate to clean the household upon discovering how filthy it was, never minding the work that had to be put into such a task. She doesn't take her blessings of finding shelter in the dwarfs' cottage for granted, instead making the decision to work for her residence.

Possibly Snow White's greatest flaw is also her greatest strength. Due to her strong sense of kindness and goodwill upon others, the princess can at times be gullible and easily manipulated to rebel against the orders of others, such as when she invited the old crone (believing her to be a harmless, and sickly peddler woman) into the cottage for health care, disobeying the dwarfs' orders to stay away from strangers. This would result in her downfall. However, as mentioned above, her loving heart is ultimately able to prevail, as her mutual love for the Prince ultimately saves her life. This exemplifies both the dangers and advantages of having a pure heart and making Snow White a more human character.

Snow White is a very deeply compassionate and pure-hearted girl. She holds respect for all life and is kind to almost everyone she meets. However, when she saw what her evil stepmother, the Evil Queen, making her miserable, Snow White remains hopeful of a better tomorrow and uses her experiences to make her a stronger person. When Snow White is happily to live with the Prince, she is very joyfully, always being kind to her friends, and promised to visit the dwarfs again.

#### *Once Upon a Time*

“*Dear stepmother; by the time you read this I will be dead. I understand that you will never have love in your life because of me. So it's only fitting that I'll be denied that same joy as well. For the sake of the kingdom, I hope my death satisfies your need for revenge, allowing you to rule my father's subjects as they deserve, with compassion, and a gentle hand. I know what you think you're doing is vengeance, I prefer to think of it as sacrifice, for the good of all. With that in mind I welcome the end. I want you to take my last message to heart. I'm sorry, and I forgive you.*”
―Snow White writing a letter to apologize her stepmother Queen Regina

Snow White 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 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 White was arrogant and spoiled, thinking herself better than the common folk, but she later realized that her mother was right, and Snow White became a good person for the better.

After going out on her own, Snow White 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 Prince 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 White 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.

Snow White is shown to be smart for recognizes that the Huntsman is going to kill her and that her friend Wilma is her stepmother the Evil Queen in disguise.

### Physical appearance

#### *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*

“*Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow.*”
―The Magic Mirror describing Snow White to the Evil Queen

Snow White is a beautiful young 14-year-old girl blessed with such pure surpassing beauty, gentle grace, sublime grandeur and unmatched charms, elegance and loveliness so flawless, special and enchanting she is the "Fairest of Them All". The phrase "lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow", describes her most notable features, being her rosy red lips and rosy cheeks, and both her black hair and white skin color. Snow White is considered the most beautiful girl in her kingdom with snowy-white skin, rosy-red lips, ebony-black hair, and brown eyes. She is very sweet, but also very shy. Being fairly short in height, Snow White also has a rather slender, flat-chested figure, and dainty little feet.

Her simple signature court dress consists of a dark blue bodice with a high white collar; her short puffy sleeves are a lighter blue color than her bodice and the red cloth poking through exemplifying the "slashing" design, which was very fashionable in Tudor times. It involved cutting the cloth on the outside of the outfit and pulling through another layer of cloth from underneath. Snow White's long and shapeless light yellow skirt has a white petticoat and flows right down just past her ankles, and has been depicted as either bright yellow (as often shown in marketing), or light yellow (as it's shown in the film), with tan pumps decorated with yellow bows on them. In the film, she also wore a brown cape with a red interior. Snow White's short black hair is styled in a bob and parted in the middle. She wears a red headband with a bow. When she handles the housework duties at the house of Seven Dwarfs and until the end of the film, she is not seen wearing her brown cape.

When lost in the forest, Snow White appears rather clumsy. Her dress gets stuck in tree branches, and she briefly falls into a lake. Yet, other scenes depict Snow White's movements as "graceful, stately, and elegant", indicative of an aristocratic upbringing. When she joins her unnamed prince on his horse, Snow White rides sidesaddle. Another indication of her "dainty" and "ladylike" style.

Snow White's innocent-looking appearance contrasts with that her stepmother's sexual maturity, both in appearance and demeanor. Yet the narcissistic desire of the Queen to become the most beautiful woman sets the conflict between stepmother and stepdaughter. The mirror serves as the "male judge of female beauty" in this contest, and the Queen seemingly depends on the mirror's "judgmental voice" in her self-evaluation. While both women are depicted as beautiful in the film, Snow White is evaluated as being better than her fierce and cold-mannered stepmother.

As a scullery maid before Snow White wears her signature appearance, she wears a short white-collared and puffy white-sleeved brown bodice and a long, light brown skirt with several patches on it, with light brown sandals and lilac pink stockings. Snow White wears a blue headband with a bow.

#### *Once Upon a Time*

Snow White 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. As Mary Margaret, Snow White's hair is short, and she wears every day modern clothes. Her short hair is a reference to Snow White from the original film who also had short black hair. Snow White used to wear a brown tunic with brown fur and pants and boots as her time as a bandit. After taking back the kingdom from George, Snow wears a white tunic with white coat on with silver specks on them. She also has a veil coming down from her long coat.

## Appearances

### *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*

The Evil Queen, jealous of her stepdaughter's beauty, forces Snow White to work as a scullery servant in her castle; even in rags and clogs, however, her beauty shines through, causing the Evil Queen to worry that Snow White's beauty may one day surpass her own. She has such vanity that she consults her Magic Mirror every day, ordering the slave within to reveal the name of the fairest in the land. Every day the spirit says that the Evil Queen is the fairest, and she is content until the mirror informs her that Snow White has finally become the fairest in the land.

Outside, at the courtyard, as Snow White works, she then tells a group of doves a secret about the well she is drawing water from and tells them it's a wishing well and then sings, attracting the attention of the Prince, who is passing by. As she sings into the well, performing a duet with her echo, she is startled as the Prince suddenly joins in. She runs indoors, and watches from a balcony as he sings. The two are immediately infatuated with each other. Watching from above is the Evil Queen, who angrily closes the curtains of her window in jealousy.

The Evil Queen summons her Huntsman to her and orders him to kill Snow White. The Evil Queen asks him to bring her heart back in a special box as proof that he has succeeded in the task. The Huntsman takes Snow White to a secluded glade and, checking that no one else is present, advances on the princess as she is helping a young bird return to its parents. Snow White sees the Huntsman's shadow on the rock in front of her, turns around and screams in terror. However, the Huntsman cannot bring himself to kill her upon seeing the beauty in a princess such as herself and begs Snow White for forgiveness. He tells her of her stepmother the Evil Queen's insane jealousy and tells her to run away and never come back. She takes his advice and flees through the forest, and her fright is manifested in the surrounding plants; branches suddenly resemble claw-like hands and floating logs resemble crocodiles. Overcome by terror, she eventually collapses, sobbing. As light enters the forest, the woodland creatures cautiously approach Snow White while she cries, and she is comforted by them and befriends them. Together they sing.

No longer frightened, Snow White asks the animals if they know where she can stay. They lead her to the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs; she enters and finds that no one is home. Noticing that the whole cottage is a complete mess, she cleans the house, with the help of the animals. She hopes that its residents, whom she believes to be children due to the size of the furniture, will let her stay if she cleans up for them. At this point, she sings. Later that evening, she and the animals go upstairs to find seven little beds. Feeling sleepy, she falls asleep over three of them.

The Seven Dwarfs return home from a day's work at the Dwarfs' Mine. They see light coming from the window of their cottage and smoke coming from its chimney. The Dwarfs enter the house, creeping around as they search for the 'monster' they believe that has invaded their home. They hear a noise (some birds from the forest, joking about) coming from upstairs, and, after an unsuccessful attempt by Dopey to chase the thing down, they enter the bedroom together. The Dwarfs approach the three beds that are being slept in, and are about to strike when Doc removes the bed cover to reveal Snow White sleeping, causing them to hold their fire upon seeing her.

They are all infatuated with her, but Grumpy grumbles about her unwelcome presence, waking her up. She is first startled by the dwarfs, but soon befriends them, guessing the names of Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Dopey, and Grumpy because their names are carved on the beds. All the dwarfs, except for Grumpy, agree that Snow White is welcome to stay if she does the housework for them to keep her safe from her evil stepmother. A noise from downstairs reminds Snow White that she has left some soup boiling. She rushes downstairs and tells the dwarfs that it is almost ready and that they will have time to wash. She asks the dwarfs to see their hands and, upon seeing that their hands are dirty, insists them to march straight outside and wash; otherwise, they will not get anything to eat. The dwarfs reluctantly march outside and wash while singing. They have just finished washing when Snow White calls to them that supper is ready.

After supper, the dwarfs perform for Snow White, and she dances with Dopey (who reaches her height by standing on Sneezy's shoulders).

She then repays them when she sings as the dwarfs listen. The dwarfs then declare that Snow White will sleep upstairs and that the dwarfs will find somewhere to sleep downstairs. Before Snow White goes to sleep, she says her deep prayers, blessing the seven little men for being so kind to her and wishing to make her dreams come true, as well as asking to make Grumpy like her.

Meanwhile, back at the castle, the Evil Queen, after being told by the Magic Mirror that Snow White still lives, descends into her laboratory and transforms into the Witch. She prepares her poisoned apple, one bite of which will send its victim into the Sleeping Death, which can only be cured by 'Love's First Kiss'. Believing the dwarfs will bury the princess alive once they discover her apparently dead, the Witch leaves the castle and proceeds towards the dwarfs' cottage.

The next morning, Snow White kisses each dwarf goodbye as they leave for the mine. Before Grumpy leaves (being the last one to depart), he warns her not to let anyone or anything in the house. Touched that he cares despite his negative exterior, Snow White decides to bake a pie for Grumpy with help from her animal friends. She is then startled by the appearance of an old peddler woman who was actually, unbeknownst her, her wicked stepmother in disguise, peering through her window. She offers Snow White the apple but is attacked by the woodland creatures, who sensed danger in her presence. The ever sentimental Snow White shoos the animals away and takes the old woman inside for a drink of water, unaware it is her stepmother in disguise. Meanwhile, the animals rush off to fetch the dwarfs.

Thankful toward Snow White for being so good to "poor old Granny," the Evil Queen tells her that the apple is no ordinary apple; but is a magic wishing apple, capable of making all of Snow White's wishes come true with a single bite. Snow White takes the apple and, before taking a bite, wishes for the Prince to carry her away to his castle, where they will live happily ever after. The Evil Queen then persuades her to take a bite before the wish grows cold. Snow White does so and soon falls to the floor after feeling the poison's effects, which causes her to fall into a Sleeping Death. As the Evil Queen is leaving, she is seen by the dwarfs, who chase her to a cliff, where she falls to her death crushed by a boulder and eaten by vultures.

The dwarfs find Snow White and they grieve her death as they return home. In mourning, they hold a funeral for her at their cottage. Finding her so beautiful, even in death, they cannot find it in their hearts to bury her and instead place her in a handmade coffin carved of glass and gold.

As the time goes by, the Prince hears of this and rides to the clearing where her coffin has been placed. The dwarfs and forest animals make way for the Prince to approach Snow White. He then gives the princess a kiss, a "Love's First Kiss", which breaks the curse, reviving Snow White. She wakes up and, upon seeing the Prince, extends her arms out to him as he scoops her up in her arms. The dwarfs and the animals rejoice, as the Prince carries Snow White to his horse. She kisses each dwarf goodbye before leaving with the Prince for his castle (the outline of which is shown in the clouds above), where they live happily ever after.

### *Once Upon a Time*

When Snow White is a little girl, Regina rescues her from a runaway horse, and the two become instant friends. As a result, her father King Leopold offers to marry Regina and provide Snow White with a mother after the death of her biological one, and the kingdom with a Queen. However, Snow White discovers that Regina loves the stable boy Daniel Colter, but tries to keep it a secret after Regina explains true love. Unfortunately, Regina's mother Cora plays on Snow White's feelings of losing a mother, causing the girl (not wanting Regina to suffer what she had and believing Cora merely wants her daughter's happiness) to reveal Regina's heart belongs to Daniel, leading to his death. Learning her role, Regina wanted Snow White dead for revealing this secret and prevent her from having true love as she was forced into a loveless marriage with Leopold instead. Years later, Regina orchestrates King Leopold's undoing, and the Huntsman is enlisted by the Evil Queen to kill Snow White, like in the Disney film, but he spares her for her selflessness. She continues living in the forest, stealing from the nobles of the Evil Queen's domain in the hopes of collecting enough money to move out of the realm.

She meets Prince James while robbing him, and she nicknames him "Prince Charming" when he captures her to regain his stolen engagement ring, which she already sold. The pair falls in love on their journey to buy back the jewels, but he returns to his fiancée. Realizing she and James can never be together, she receives from Rumplestiltskin a potion that will erase all her memories of James. Shortly after, she gets a letter from James telling her to meet him at the castle if she loves him, so they can run away before he is married.

She goes to meet him, but Charming's adoptive father King George catches her in the castle and forces her to tell James that she does not love him, or he will be killed in the image of a martyr. She then goes to live with the Seven Dwarfs. James breaks off his engagement, but she drinks the potion shortly before the news reaches her. The potion changes her into a mean-spirited and cruel person, and she realizes that her anger stems from the death of her father. Snow White tries to kill Regina, the person responsible for her father's death, but James takes the arrow meant for the oblivious Queen. He tells her that he would rather die than let Snow become evil, and she realizes that no one else is willing to die for her. She kisses him and regains her memory. However, the pair is again separated when George's knights capture James. She and the dwarfs then set out to rescue James.

Some time later, Snow is voluntarily poisoned by the Queen and James kisses her and brings her back to life. Snow and James manage to take back the kingdom from Regina with help from the Blue Fairy, banishing Regina from the realm. Snow and James are married, but the Queen arrives at the wedding and announces that she will place a curse on everyone to destroy Snow's happiness. Snow is soon pregnant and gives birth to Emma just as the curse begins to take hold.

In Storybrooke, she is **Mary Margaret Blanchard**. She is Henry's (her daughter's son who was adopted by Mayor Regina Mills) favorite teacher. Noticing he's unhappy, she gives her grandson a book of fairy tales to instill him with hope. She also invites Emma to live with her upon realizing that Emma was thrown out of the bed and breakfast thanks to Regina's attempt to frame her. Mary Margaret volunteers at the hospital and reads Snow White and Prince Charming's tale to the comatose David Nolan, who is really James. He wakes up, and the pair instantly falls in love, despite David's marriage to Kathryn. Mary Margaret resigns from the hospital because of the heartache she feels from being around David and tries to start a relationship with Dr. Whale. However, she develops stalker-like behavior: she knows David's daily schedule and tries to be where he is. She finally tries to avoid David, but she and David find they cannot stay away from each other and begin a secret relationship. After the affair becomes public and David's marriage breaks down, Mary Margaret is labeled a tramp and becomes an outcast. However, some of the residents reach out to her after she sells candles to help the local nunnery pay its rent. Later, she is arrested for Kathryn's apparent murder after Mary Margaret's fingerprints are found on a box containing a human heart shortly after Kathryn's disappearance. The box is later found to be Mary Margaret's, and the heart is proven to be Kathryn.

Emma believes that Mary Margaret is being framed and asks her to wait and to trust Emma until she can be proven innocent. However, Mary Margaret finds one of Regina's skeleton keys in her cell and uses it to escape. It is later revealed that after her escape, she was captured and held captive by Jefferson. She is found by Emma, and the pair is able to escape when Mary Margaret kicks Jefferson out a window. Then Mary Margaret willingly returns to her jail cell to face her trial. When Kathryn reappears, Mary Margaret is released. Consequently, her relationship with David becomes strained since he did not believe she was innocent. He eventually decides to leave Storybrooke when Mary Margaret does not give him a reason to stay. They are reunited when the curse is broken, and they regain their memories.

The two find Emma, only for Mary Margaret to be transported with her back to the remaining Enchanted Forest through a portal, though they manage to return to Storybrooke. After Regina and her mother Cora attempt to gain power by killing Mr. Gold, Mary Margaret curses Cora's heart with the same candle that Cora offered her to heal her ailing mother Eva (learning her mother's death was Cora's doing to make Regina queen) and tricks Regina into killing her. She pleads for Regina to kill her when she cannot deal with what she has done, but she instead tearfully taunts her after realizing that her heart is starting to turn dark.

When Henry is kidnapped and taken to Neverland, she travels with Emma, David, Regina, Mr. Gold, and Captain Hook to rescue him. Upon returning to the town with Henry, Peter Pan enacts Regina's curse again, leading Mary Margaret to be returned to the Enchanted Forest with the other inhabitants, while her daughter and grandson escape to New York City with new lives.

Back in the Enchanted Forest, Snow White learns she is pregnant but discovers that Regina's half-sister Zelena the Wicked Witch of the West wants her baby for nefarious purposes. Snow White and Charming realize they must enact a new curse to return to Emma and stop Zelena. A reassuring David lets Snow White crush his heart, though she later requests Regina split Snow White's heart to give to both of them. A year later, Emma returns to Storybrooke, learning her mother is pregnant. Zelena plots to steal the baby by becoming her midwife, as an ingredient in her spell to open a time portal. She is able to abduct Mary Margaret and David's newborn son, but Zelena is ultimately defeated thanks to truly reformed Regina. David would return the child back into Mary Margaret's arms. Emma, however, says that she and Henry are leaving Storybrooke for New York, which everyone, even Henry, is opposed to.

Emma would wind up being sucked into Zelena's reopened time rift. Followed by Hook, Snow White's daughter is able to witness the moments leading up to her parents' first meeting. Unfortunately, Emma mistakenly distracts Snow White just when she is about to descend upon Princess Abigale's carriage. After checking the book, they find that all the story's in *Once Upon a Time* have been erased. Together the two work to reunite her parents. In this new past, Snow White appears to be killed by Regina, but she quickly uses the Fairy Dust to turn herself into a ladybug. Emma is overjoyed to find her mother alive, but Snow Whiteunderstandably doesn't recognize her, breaking her daughter's heart. She and Charming set eyes upon each other once again and finds the two falling in love just like before. Emma and Hook check *Once Upon a Time,* and find Snow White's wedding to Prince David one of the illustrations. Emma returns to Storybrooke and lets her mother know she is there to stay. Mary Margaret lets Emma know that they are naming her brother after Henry's father, her former lover, and Rumplestiltskin's son, Neal who sacrificed himself to save everyone.

Mary Margaret later becomes Mayor of Storybrooke, since she cast the curse that returned the residents of the Enchanted Forest back to Storybrooke and Regina's temporary abdication. After meeting three residents from Arendelle and stopping threats from the Snow Queen and Gold, Mary Margaret goes back to teaching. Following the Queen's of Darkness's arrival in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret and David battle to keep their secret (being the reason Maleficent lost her child) from Emma. However, they eventually tell Emma the truth, who finds it hard to forgive them. After Mary Margaret is almost killed by Maleficent's daughter Lily in dragon form, Emma reconciles with her parents, although this is short-lived when Emma sacrifices herself to become the new Dark One.

With the other residents, Mary Margaret, is transported to the Enchanted Forest, taking Emma to Camelot in order to find Merlin and remove her darkness. However, six weeks later, they return to Storybrooke with missing memories as to how they failed. She would later have her memories restored after Emma transfers her powers of the Dark One to Hook, who then sacrifice himself.

Mary Margaret later joined Emma in the quest to rescue Hook in the Underworld, where she encountered her old friend Hercules, who helped her back in the Enchanted Forest to become an archer. When she realizes that he needs to complete his unfinished business, she returns the favor by helping him defeat the three-headed hellhound Cerberus, and in the process allows him to move on to Mount Olympus. Her actions would result in Hades picking her as one of three souls he wants to keep behind. Following this, she discovers that she no longer wants to be known as Mary Margaret and returns to being Snow White. She and David later learn that his twin brother James is in the Underworld, bitter about the way his brother got all the glory that he could have had if he didn't die. Later, Snow White and David find a way to contact their son Neal from the Underworld, only to have Cruella De Vil and her henchman Claude tear out the phones after they succeed. As a sacrifice to keep one soul in the Underworld, David trades places with Snow White, and Snow White returns to Storybrooke. Before arriving back home, Snow White witnessed her friend Red's awaking Dorothy Gale with true love's kiss.

Following the defeat of Hades at the hands of Zelena, Snow White was transported, along with David, Zelena, and Hook, to the Land of Untold Stories, led by the sinister Mr. Hyde. Fortunately, with the assistance of Dr. Jekyll, the heroes escaped. Then with further help from their family in New York City, Snow White, David, Zelena, and Hook were safely returned to the Land Without Magic, accompanied by Jekyll (who had now separated himself from Hyde). Upon her return, Snow White was witness to Regina's using Jekyll's serum to separate herself from the Evil Queen, as well as her subsequent attempt to destroy her.

After the people from the Land of Untold Stories arrive in town, Snow White and her family stop Hyde and decide to help these new people with finding their happy endings but find themselves in repeating battles as the Evil Queen arrives and has Regina kill the Count of Monte Cristo. Afterwards when trying to figure out why the Evil Queen survived Regina crushing her and a way to destroy her, Snow White wishes to become a teacher again and for things to return to normal which they start to do but this is short lived when the Evil Queen threatens Storybrooke with water from the River of Lost Souls unless Snow White and David give up their shared heart which they do. But the Evil Queen decides to give them her pain of loneliness so she places a sleeping curse on their shared heart so when one is awake, the other will be asleep meaning Snow and David cannot be together. As they try to continue life without each other Snow White starts to lose hope as she cannot stand being without David.

As Regina works feverishly to waken Snow White and Charming from the Sleeping Curse, Gold comes face to face with the Black Fairy, the powerful enemy Emma must fight in the Final Battle. Hook, still in Neverland, meets up with Tiger Lily, who gives him a piece of an ancient fairy wand to give Emma, to aid her in defeating the Black Fairy. Gold learns that the Black Fairy had been manipulating Gideon with his heart, and confronts her about it, with her saying that if they should fight, Storybrooke would be destroyed. In 1993, a pixie flower awakens Snow White and Charming from their cursed selves, but an awakened Rumplestiltskin tells them they must make a difficult decision, to ensure that Emma fulfills her destiny as the Savior. In the present a Pixie flower allows Emma to open a doorway to Neverland and rescue Hook, who re-proposes.
