Name: Snow White
Story: Snow White and Rose Red / Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Occupation: Deputy Mayor
Resources: Princess
Popularity: Mythic
Known Powers:
Skills: Leadership, Organization, Government
Weaknesses: poisoned apples
Equipment: a gargantuan office (magically enhanced), access to any of the magical artifacts smuggled from the Homelands, such as seven league boots, the Vorpal sword, the Witching cloak, etc.
Personality:
Snow White is considered something of an ice queen; aloof and cold. But this actually masks the fact that -alot of the time- Snow is terribly lonely. After many centuries, she is still angry at the failure of her marriage and therefore is rather envious and resentful of those in working relationships - like Beauty and the Beast. As a former aristocrat, she has a tendencey to associate love and happiness with handsome princes, fairy-tale castles, and the trappings of high society.
History:
Snow White was born in a cottage and lived there with her sister, Rose Red. They were best friends, inseparable, and vowed that nothing would ever come between them. Unfortunately, at some point during her early life, the events involving the seven dwarves took place. Prince Charming appeared on the scene and Snow White left with him, leaving a very upset Rose Red behind. Eventually, Snow asked Rose to come and live with them, but the damage was already done. For revenge, Rose Red seduced and slept with Prince Charming. Snow White divorced Charming and a seemingly insurmountable wedge was driven between the two sisters.
When the Adversary's forced began to invade Snow White's home, she and Rose Red fled and journeyed to a distant land, searching for a legendary witch's cave which supposedly contained passage leading to the Mundane world. Unfortunately, the Adversary was already aware of the general location of the gateway, and troops were waiting there to apprehend anyone trying to escape through it. Snow and Rose were captured and placed in a chain gang, destined to be first interrogated, then executed.
Fortunately, the Big Bad Wolf had appointed himself the unofficial guardian and attacked the guards. The prisoners attempted to flee - except Snow and Rose. They turned to face the Wolf; Snow with a sword to defend them. The Wolf was amused and explained that he wanted to help them escape to safety, on the condition that he was allowed to take a small taste of each of them to ensure that they weren't Adversary spies. Snow volunteered to be first, and passing the test, she and Rose were allowed to pass through the gate and into the Mundane world.
In FableTown, Snow White became the Deputy Mayor Ichabod Crane's assistant. During this time, she performed various duties. She was sent to Carpathia to ask the Big Bad Wolf to join Fabletown, carrying a lycanthropy-stained knife that would give him the ability to shapeshift and adopt a human persona. She was also sent as an envoy to the Arabian Fables where she found herself having to keep the Sultan amused with various tales. When Crane resigned in the mid-1990s, facing accusations of embezzlement and sexual harassment, Snow took over as Deputy Mayor. Since King Cole focused primarily on the ceremonial aspects of Mayor, Snow became largely responsible for the actual running of Fabletown, assisted by Blue Boy.
