Snow White

Dwarfs' cottage guest

Snow White is a fairy tale character—a princess whose jealous stepmother, the Evil Queen, attempts to kill her for being "the fairest of all." She flees into the forest, lives with seven dwarfs, falls into a death-like sleep from a poisoned apple, and is awakened by a prince's kiss.

The Disney animated film (1937) made her an icon of innocent beauty.

She has that Snow White coloring—pale skin, dark hair, red lips.
