Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White was born into the Royal Family, as a princess at her Kingdom, for she was the daughter of the Good King and Good Queen. The royal family resided in a Germany Castle. Snow White had her skin was as white as snow, her lips were as red as the rose, and her short wavy hair was as black as ebony by her mother's wish at the winter's day. But early in her life, her mother died shortly after she was a baby. Snow White's father was always a kind man, even through the death of his wife, loved and adoring his daughter. But the Good King eventually decided the Kingdom must have a Queen. After some time, her widowed father, the Good King, remarried a very beautiful but vain and cold-hearted woman who soon known as the Evil Queen, to give Snow White a motherly figure for her life. But the Good King didn't know his second wife's true cold-nature and use of powerful magic. Not long after their marriage, Snow White's beloved father, the Good King, suspiciously died, leaving the young princess as an orphan.

As a young child, Snow White's vain and wicked stepmother, the Evil Queen, feared that one day her stepdaughter's beauty would surpass her own. So, she dressed Snow White in rags and forced her to work as a scullery maid to try to quench her growing beauty in her own home. Each day, the Evil Queen consulted her Magic Mirror asking, "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" As long as the Magic Mirror answered, "You are the fairest one of all," Snow White was safe from her stepmother's cruel jealousy. Althrough, Snow White may have been a maid, but she never complained when she worked and whenever she was sad, she would always hum a tune to cheer herself up and her animal friends would visit her. As time went on, however, Snow White grew more and more beautiful than the Evil Queen. The people of the kingdom felt sorry for their princess when the Evil Queen made Snow White to be a servant, but they could not rebel due to the Evil Queen's cruel power.

Every day the Magic Mirror said 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 the courtyard, when Snow White working, she then told a group of doves a secret about the well she is drawing water from and told them it's a wishing well and then singing, attracting the attention of Prince Florian, who was passing by the castle. As she singing into the wishing well, performing a duet with her echo, she is startled as the Prince suddenly joined in. She ran indoors, and watched from a balcony as he singing "One Song". The two are immediately infatuated with each other. Watching from above is the Evil Queen, who angrily closed the curtains of her window in jealousy.

The Evil Queen summoned her Huntsman to her and ordered him to kill Snow White. The Evil Queen asked him to bring her heart back in a special box as proof that he has succeeded in the task. The Huntsman took Snow White to a secluded glade and, checking that no one else is present, advanced on the princess as she was helping a young bird return to its parents. Snow White seek 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 begged Snow White for forgiveness. He told Snow White about her evil stepmother the Evil Queen's insane jealousy and told her to run away and never come back to the castle. She took his advice and fleeing through the forest, and her fright was manifested in the surrounding plants; branched suddenly resemble claw-like hands and floating logs resemble crocodiles. Overcome by terror, she eventually collapsed, 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 singing "With a Smile and a Song".

No longer frightened, Snow White asked the animals if they knew where she can stay. They lead her to the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs; she entered and found that no one is home. Noticing that the whole cottage was a complete mess, she cleaned the house, with the help of the animals. She hoped that its residents, whom she believed 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 "Whistle While You Work". Later that evening, she and the animals go upstairs to find seven little beds. Feeling sleepy, she fell asleep over three of them.

The Seven Dwarfs returned home from a day's work at the Dwarfs' Mine. They saw light coming from the window of their cottage and smoke coming from its chimney. The Dwarfs entered the house, creeping around as they searched for the 'monster' they believed that has invaded their home. They heared 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 grumbled about her unwelcome presence, waking her up. She was first startled by the dwarfs, but soon befriended with 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, agreed that Snow White was welcome to stay if she doing the housework for them to keep her safe from her evil stepmother, the Evil Queen. A noise from downstairs reminded Snow White that she had left some soup boiling. She rushed downstairs and told the dwarfs that it is almost ready and that they will have time to wash. She asked the dwarfs to see their hands and, upon seeing that their hands are dirty, insisting them to march straight outside and wash; otherwise, they will not get anything to eat. The dwarfs reluctantly marched outside and wash while singing "Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum". They have just finished washing when Snow White called to them that supper is ready.

After supper, the dwarfs performed "The Silly Song" for Snow White, and she dancing with Dopey (who reaches her height by standing on Sneezy's shoulders). She then repayed them when she singing "Some Day My Prince Will Come" as the dwarfs listening. The dwarfs then declared that Snow White will sleep upstairs and that the dwarfs will find somewhere to sleep downstairs. Before Snow White goes to sleep, she said 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.

Back at the castle, the Evil Queen, after being told by the Magic Mirror that Snow White is still alive, descended into her laboratory and transforms into the Witch. She prepares the 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 discovered her apparently dead, the Witch leaving the castle and proceeded towards the Dwarfs' Cottage.

The next morning, Snow White kissed each dwarf goodbye as they leaving for the mine. Before Grumpy leaving (being the last one to depart), he warned her not to let anyone or anything in the house. Touched that he cared despite his negative exterior, Snow White decided to bake a pie for Grumpy with help from her animal friends. She was 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 offersed Snow White the apple but was attacked by the woodland creatures, who sensed danger in her presence. The ever sentimental Snow White shooing the animals away and taking 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 told 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 took the apple and, before taking a bite, wishes for Prince Florian to carried her away to his castle, where they will lived happily ever after. The Evil Queen then persuaded her to take a bite before the wish grew cold. Snow White doing so and soon fell to the floor after feeling the poison's effects, which caused her to fall into a Sleeping Death. As the Evil Queen is leaving, she was seen by the Seven Dwarfs, who chased her to a cliff, where she falling to her death crushed by a boulder and eaten by vultures.

The dwarfs found Snow White and they grieved her "death" as they returned 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 went by, Prince Florian hearing of this and riding to the clearing where her coffin had been placed. The dwarfs and forest animals make way for Prince Florian to approach Snow White. He then gave the princess a kiss, a "Love's First Kiss", which breaking the curse, reviving Snow White. She woke up and, upon seeing Prince Florian, extended her arms out to him as he scooped her up in her arms. The dwarfs and the animals rejoiced, as the Prince carried Snow White to his horse. She kissed each dwarf goodbye before leaving with the Prince for his castle (the outline of which is shown in the clouds above), where they lived happily ever after.

Personality

- 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.

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.
