Character Personality Through Key Moments

The fairest of them all is not a title given to the young maiden simply because she is beautiful without. She has gained this title because she is also beautiful within. In other words, Snow White has a beautiful heart and personality as well and isn’t just another pretty face.

Upon first meeting Snow White, it is not hard to see that she is very kind and innocent.

A very massive negative moment in her life was the death of her father and the abuse of her stepmother. At a very young age, Snow White was forced into labor in her own home and her life was in perpetual danger since even as a child she was considered "pretty" and "fair." So her stepmother denied her access to clothes, forbade from interacting with others, and abused her as a child. So long as Snow White wasn't prettier than her stepmother, she was safe from her very real and dangerous wrath (the queen quite literally says to lash the girl who the mirror has found to be prettier than her, never mind the whole cut out her heart and bring it to me.)

However, her childhood didn’t make her harsh or cruel, in fact, it made Snow White even kinder and even hopeful about things.

While she has had a dark past, she doesn’t allow it to upset her or make her bitter towards people and experiences. Snow almost always maintains a positive attitude, or she will eventually get to a positive attitude quite quickly after having been upset.

She doesn’t seem to have a malicious bone in her body and instead is always open to helping others. Sweet and kind, the princess is always willing to lend a helping hand or ear. Her thoughts are on how she can do something for others and make sure everyone is happy and well attended. To some degree, this mindset is a result of her upbringing as keeping her stepmother pleased kept Snow White essentially safe, but most of it is Snow White just being a genuinely nice person.

As she is quite gentle, she likes to think about how to make someone’s day or what may make someone smile. She isn’t all talk, however, her actions are just as kind as her words. She feels that there’s always something that she can do to make someone’s day brighter and cheerier. This doesn’t just apply to people but animals as well. She’s innocent as well, unable to really comprehend someone doing her harm until it is introduced to her by the Huntsman. While she was absolutely terrified of the Huntsman and how he was about to kill her, she did, ultimately forgive him, not really understanding why he was attempting to murder her.

This brings us to her innocence. Snow White is innocent and naive to the point of making some incredibly foolish decisions.

Literally, her most negative relationship and the biggest impact on her life comes with the very one-sided hatred she deals with from her stepmother. Her stepmother wants her dead and it is the actions of her stepmother, Queen Grimhilde that essentially drives all of Snow White's actions. Her stepmother was the cause of Snow White's abuse and solitude, her stepmother was the cause for what was essentially exile from her own kingdom, it was that same exile that caused Snow White to meet the dwarfs, and it was her stepmother hunting her down that caused Snow White to "die" when taking the bite of the poison apple.

While Snow White was completely unaware of any nefarious actions the Huntsman might have tried to do when he initially took her out to the meadow, she wasn’t even aware her stepmother, the Queen, hated her until after being informed it was the Queen who wanted her dead. Despite all the abuse from her stepmother, Snow White still clung to the idea that her stepmother might care for her, or at the very least, did not wish to see her harmed.

However, even after finding out, Snow White didn’t want revenge on the Queen, she only wished to escape and get as far away as possible from said danger. Even after having come right out of a terrifying situation of running for her life in the woods, Snow White was willing to go right into the dwarfs’ cottage for a place to stay, not even considering the potential dangers there. Rather, Snow White’s first concern was that she may have entered a house of orphaned children and that if she acted as their mother and cleaned up their home, she might be allowed to stay with them and take care of them.

Snow White never had any intention of going back and reclaiming the throne from her stepmother, she merely moved on and accepted that she could not return to her castle even as the threat of her stepmother still loomed over her head.

Even with such a threat, Snow White was able to stay bright and optimistic and go about her daily life rather than just linger on the issues in her life.

Her innocence continues in that she has no real regard for danger. This can be seen as she invites the Old Hag (the queen) into the cottage even after being informed not to let anyone into the house by Grumpy. When the Hag first appeared at Snow White’s window, while she is initially cautious, as soon as she is engaged in conversation, she’s put at ease. Furthermore, because it was an old woman, Snow White was quite forthright with information. Even more so by letting the Old Hag into the cottage after she was attacked by the animals and seemed to be having heart-strain. Snow White didn’t consider why the animals (her friends) might have attacked the old woman, only that they had and she needed rest. It is in this way that Snow White’s innocence is slightly detrimental, even if well-intended.

Extremely optimistic and a hard worker, Snow White isn’t afraid to get her hands messy or dirty with housework or cooking. She doesn’t believe in cutting corners or shortcuts as she gently scolds her animal friends for trying to be quick about cleaning the cottage.

Despite being a princess, she wasn’t raised this way. Rather, she grew up as a maid in her own castle in regards to how she was treated. However, Snow White is extremely polite and has her moments of being regal as she is able to delegate tasks to her animal friends and keeping things fair. She even understands the importance of appearances since she worries about how she looks a few times when she’s meeting new people be it her prince or the dwarfs. She also knows that sometimes her fear or worry can be considered troublesome. Snow White is sometimes ashamed of her own fear (even if justified) as seen when she apologizes for frightening the animals in the forest after having just escaped from being killed. She doesn’t focus on herself, only that she might have frightened someone. The princess doesn’t want to trouble people yet she also has no problems asking for help as she does so on several occasions first from her animal friends and then the dwarfs.

Snow White while not very bright, isn’t stupid. She tries to reason things out as best she can but, her reasoning is naive and innocent based on a sheltered lifestyle. She is oddly pragmatic and practical in other matters. She knows that she can’t just expect to stay in the dwarfs’ cottage for nothing, so she offers to take care of the house in return for shelter and safety. In this way, she also believes in the kindness of others to be as great as her own. Knowing very little about the dwarfs, she asks if she can stay with them (again, not thinking of the dangers). But she also isn't a pushover either.

Despite having a very lonely and sad youth with her father’s death, never having known her birth mother, and then being made to work in rags, Snow White hasn’t lost any of her hope for her future. In fact, to some degree, it's all Snow White has to hold onto. Snow White knew that her only way out of her situation would likely be marriage. So she dreams and wishes to be in love and be taken away by her true love where she will be safe and able to live happily ever after. Her prince offers her that chance and makes her feel loved almost immediately when he not only is gentle and kind to her upon meeting but serenades her. It is because of this that Snow White feels like her dreams can come true and she will feel loved in a way that she never has been.

In fact, her desire to be loved is perhaps her greatest desire as she was starved for it in her childhood. She wants people to like her, be it her prince or the dwarfs, and will go so far as to pray for it at night as when she prays for Grumpy to like her.

At her core, Snow White can get very lonely, starved for comfort and love, seeking both. Her greatest wish, for her love, while not just romantic, reveals what she really wants. Just as she yearns for love, she is quick to give it.

Snow White is quick to become friends with the dwarfs and more than that, she is simultaneously a mother and daughter figure to them. The dwarfs are really her very first friends ever outside of the animals and they make her feel welcome, loved, supported, and safe. In return, she is quick to love them and care for them. She acts like a mother when she makes sure they wash before a meal and shoos them to bed when it’s late and cooks for them. But they treat her like a daughter when all the dwarfs (Doc and Grumpy especially) warn her to remain careful and not to allow anyone in the home while they are away like concerned parents might. The relationship Snow White has with the dwarfs is a stark contrast to her life in the castle. Where before she was isolated, now she had seven people in her life who loved her and cared for her, and wanted to see her safe and happy (some more than others).

When Snow White is in a healthy environment, she blossoms immediately. She is very quick to take charge and will enforce rules and expectations as we see her do with the dwarfs by denying dinner. When she's with the dwarfs, Snow White can be very stubborn about matters and things she believes in such as cleanliness or good manners. In this way, she is quick to take on a motherly role even though she is the one under the protection of the dwarfs. Snow White will not stand for people being rude, insisting on good manners. More still, she will scold people for misbehavior as seen with her animal friends when they attack the Old Hag.

Snow White, in a way, models the mother figure she desperately desired for herself yet never had. But as much as Snow White can be a mother she can be a friend, able to go so far as to lightly tease the dwarfs like when she does with Grumpy and Dopey. She does have a sense of humor and is still very much a child despite her situation. Snow White is still a young girl, growing and maturing, but she has hopes and dreams and desires like anyone else. She tries not to be a bother, offering her skills and hoping to make fast friends.

Writing Samples

One: TDM top level
Two:
When she first woke up on the beach, Snow White had lightly rubbed her eyes and then looked at her hands, then around her. She remembered... what did she remember? She remembered taking a bite of the Wishing Apple that the old woman had... wait. She also remembered how fuzzy and woozy she became, how hard it had been to breathe. Had she died? She had been poisoned by the apple? Or was this part of the magic? Was she dead?

She looked around. If she was dead, had she been able to make it to heaven?

But then no, this seemed to be such a dark place, she could hear the crashing of the waves, feel them lapping at her feet! She had feet! How incredible!

When speaking came to her, she asked how she could help and was just gently smiled at and guided towards the boardwalk, told that everything would be alright now, and welcome home. Oh, but that didn't explain very much now did it? She fumbled a bit, feeling so much more than overwhelmed, feeling unsure of what to make of it all, unsure of what was even going on. It was a lot to take in when you went from being poisoned and dead to... well, someplace else and not! Or... or was she dead? She tried not to cry at the thought that she was dead, but what else could she be?

Oh dear! Her dwarfs! Her poor little men, what was going on with them? Were they alright? Would they know what happened to her? She had to hope so.

She saw a little bird fly by.

"Oh thank goodness!" she let out a sigh of relief and held out her hand, even in the afterlife, there seemed to be animals, and better still, they were receptive to being spoken to. "Excuse me, could you help me?" she spoke to the bird, though it might be very easy to think she was speaking to you instead. "You see, I'm still just trying to understand everything going on and I- is this..." she didn't know how to ask. She didn't know if she should ask. "Are we all..." worry stopped up her mouth.
