Personality;

As a child, Snow was the polar opposite to the woman she is now. Living with her mother and her twin sister Red Rose in a small cottage in the middle of a forest, she dreamed of princes and happily-ever-afters. She was a quiet and gentle girl if a little naive as she always wanted to help strangers without knowing who they were or what their intentions were. This naivete would actually lead to her eventual downfall. After running into a mean spirited dwarf and doing what she and Rose thought was helping, they helped break a curse put on a prince who then wanted to marry her. Everything was like a dream come true, she and her beloved sister would be princesses and she will have her happily ever after.

But that wasn't the case. Her mother had her taken away to her sister and Snow quickly regretted ever wishing for such things. Like an object, she was just thrown away to someone else & yet again when her beauty rivaled that of the Queen. All hope Snow once had started to dwindle down as things went from bad to worse. After nearly being assassinated by one of the Queen's huntsmen, she stumbled upon a house belonging to a group of seven dwarves - brothers of the very dwarf she & Red led to death. For many, many months Snow was subjected to harsh treatment and sexual enslavement and with each passing day that childhood dream of ever living happily fleeting. The last of her naivete left her when she bit into that infamous poison apple and fell into a coma.

After then she marries Prince Charming, finally catching a break. But while she enjoyed living as royalty like she always wanted, her experiences never once left her mind, those tramautizing events forever carved into her being. She implores her husband to teach her the way of the sword, no longer wanting to be the helpless little girl who was forever fated to live in despair. This time she was going to strive to be in charge of her own future. Not only that but she wanted revenge for the way the dwarves treated her and almost causes a war between their kingdom and her husband's.

Once more, however, her attempt at gathering the pieces of what was left of hope she still had dissipated - catching her sister & Charming sleeping with each other. It was the last straw and from then on a shell around her heart was created. She was never going to put herself in that situation again, she was not going to be disappointed, hurt or taken advantage of again.

Snow became as cold as her name and over the years, after the Adversary drove the fables out of their worlds, she became more assertive. Upon their first arrival to the New World, she helped in the founding of Fabletown and remained a part of its government for a long time. It was easy for her climb up in the ranks, eventually landing herself a job as an assistant to the deputy mayor the, Ichabod Crane. He was later relocated elsewhere after many complaints and rumors of sexual harassment to Snow. After that she assumed his position, second to the mayor King Cole, becoming responsible for majority of the decisions and happenings of the Fabletown community. Since then her priority was business, making sure things got done & priorities were in line. She was seen as even more frigid, only wanting to get the job done and disassociating herself with the people she helped. Despite that, she still held some ill feelings from the past and was extremely jealous of those in strong, long relationships - a good example being Beauty and Beast. She shows to be even more harsh when the couple would turn to her for help.

Having once lived as royalty, there was still a little part of her that associate love with princes, castles and everything that came with that. It's because of that she dismisses and nearly laughs at Bigby's interest in her. That doesn't last forever, however. After certain incidents, the ice cold shell protecting her heart began to melt. She was able to rekindle the unsteady relationship between her and Rose, even appointing her leader of the Farm - a place where non-human Fables reside. Even Bigby, who she once swore that their relationship was soley business oriented, helped lowly melt the ice and she began to realize she had feelings for him once she let her guard down and got to know him a little better. It's not until he finally returns during a battle between Fabletown and the wooden soldiers that she realizes she loves him, needs him.

Once giving birth to her cubs and living on the Farm does she figure out once and for all that love and happily ever afters don't have to have dreamy princes and big castles. Having a family of her own, with a husband she loves dearly and friends she cherishes, she's finally--truly--happy.

She is fiercely loyal to those she cares about and the Fabletown community. Even after resigning from her position as deputy mayor, people still rely on her - especially during the war between Fabletown and the Adversary. From her home she is still able to command teams and soldiers. At the end of the day, Snow White is one of the most reliable, loyal and responsible Fables who, despite her horrible past, is able to rise up again better and stronger than she was before. She stands as a good role model for both her children and other Fables. Her experiences through her life before have helped shaped her into who she is today.
