Snow White

Snow White is an original character from the 1937 Disney animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She is one of the Princesses of Heart whose heart was required to open the final door in Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts
''A beautiful princess, gentle and pure as snow. She is one of the princesses needed to open the final Keyhole, and was captured by the Heartless. Her world has already been swallowed by the darkness.''

The fair-skinned princess first appeared in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937).

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Snow White's first appearance in Birth by Sleep is when she is encountered by Terra in a meadow in her home world of Dwarf Woodlands, the girl not at all surprised to see the Keyblade wielder standing before her. When the Unversed arrive, Terra summons his Keyblade to defeat them but he also frightens Snow White and she flees into the woods in fear.

After Ventus arrived in Dwarf Woodlands and met the Dwarfs, he hears Snow White scream and finds that she has been cornered by Unversed and monsters that inhabited the trees of Dwarf Woodlands. He managed to take her to safety and they find the Seven Dwarfs' House where she stays until the Dwarfs come back. They agree to let her stay and keep her company. After defeating the Mad Treant, Ventus heads to leave, but accidentally leads the old hag to where Snow White is where she kills Snow White with a poison apple.

By the time Aqua arrives, Snow White has already taken a bite on the poison apple and fallen into a deep slumber and placed in a glass coffin by the Seven Dwarfs. Later on, Aqua arrives with the Prince, who turns out to be Snow White's first love and the only person who can break the spell. He kisses her on the lips and awakes her from her slumber. She takes her farewell to the dwarfs before the Prince sweeps her away.

Snow White becomes a D-Link to Terra, Aqua and Ventus after their encounters separately.

Kingdom Hearts
Snow White's world was destroyed by the Heartless. She was one of the first Princesses of Heart to be captured and taken to Hollow Bastion.

Once they are all gathered, Maleficent has their hearts extracted in order to open the keyhole from Hollow Bastion and release the power within it. When the princesses' hearts are restored, Snow White and the other five princesses wake up from their slumber and use their combined power to shield the darkness inside in order to keep it from spreading throughout the universe. They are not able to keep it up for long, possibly because Kairi; the seventh princess is not present, but they manage to do so long enough for Sora to return and seal the keyhole. After it was sealed, Snow White remains in Hollow Bastion with the princesses, and Beast, Leon, Yuffie and Aerith.

When Kingdom Hearts was sealed she is returned to her own world.

Kingdom Hearts II
Although she does not appear in the game, Snow White's name is part of the password that allowed access to the DTD dataspace in Space Paranoids. In password form, her name is the first.

Origin
In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Snow White is a born princess, but after her father died, her stepmother turned her into a maiden in fears of the princess being more beautiful than her. Because her beauty comes from both appearance and heart, the Magic Mirror tells the Queen that Snow White is more beautiful than her, despite all those years of not wearing a beautiful gown. The Queen sees this for herself when an unnamed Prince becomes smitten with Snow White.

Being jealous of her beauty, the Queen sends out her personal assassin and orders him to bring Snow White into the forest and eliminate her. Unable to bear with killing such a beautiful princess, he warns her to run for the hills and never come back. As she escapes into the forest, she meets seven dwarfs (Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey) and settles down in their house. The Queen makes a later attempt on Snow White's life in a disguise by tricking her into biting a poisoned apple which will place her in an eternal slumber. She succeeds, but immediately afterwards loses her life to the vengeful dwarfs. The dwarfs, instead of burying Snow White, place her in a glass coffin in the woods until the Prince finally finds her and awakens her with love's first kiss, the poison's sole antidote. Snow White then goes to live with the Prince in his castle, bidding a grateful farewell to the dwarfs one by one.

Appearance
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Snow White has rather short, wavy, black hair, brown eyes, and somewhat pale skin. She also has long eye lashes and wears red lipstick and a red ribbon in her hair tied in a bow. Clothing-wise, Snow White wears a long dress that is gold from the waist down and blue with brown lining from the waist up.

The sleeves of her dress are short and puffy, as well as azure in color and sport several red teardrop-shaped symbols on them. There is a high, white collar on the back of her dress. Snow White also wears gold slippers with a small, white bow on the front of each one and a red cape tied around her neck by a brown strip of cloth. In Kingdom Hearts, Snow White looks largely the same, albeit with slightly longer hair and minor color differences in her clothing.

Powers as a Princess of Heart
Because Snow White is a Princess of Heart, her heart holds part of the ability to open the Final Keyhole that leads to Kingdom Hearts, which can only be opened when all seven princesses are collected.
 * She also has the power to hold back darkness using the light stored within her heart, a power which she and the other princesses can utilize alone (the exact way she fights off darkness is currently unclear).


 * In addition, her heart (along with that of the other princesses) can be used to create the Keyblade of People's Hearts, which allows the bearer to unlock anyone's heart.


 * Snow White (along with the other princesses) can also upgrade other people's powers, as revealed when they upgraded Sora's Fire spell to Firaga.
 * If she loses her heart, her body will remain dormant in the Realm of Light until it returns.


 * She is also able to sense darkness, as shown when she and the princesses tell Sora of a great darkness approaching.

D-Link
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Snow White becomes a summonable D-Link ally for Terra, Ventus, and Aqua after the events of her home world. As a D-Link, she can project her power to aid them in battle.

Trivia

 * Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep will also be the first time in the series where Snow White will have an actual voice, compared to the first game where she only spoke in speech bubbles. Her Japanese voice can be heard in the trailer, and it's been rumored that her voice will be provided by her original actress from the Japanese dub of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as the film wasn't dubbed into Japanese until many years after the release of the English version. It's currently unknown who will do her voice in the English version, but it's highly possible that Russi Taylor (the voice of Queen Minnie) will provide her voice, as she did when Snow White appeared in House of Mouse.


 * In Kingdom Hearts, if Sora seals the keyhole of Deep Jungle before sealing the one of Wonderland, Snow White is set to appear in front of the Disney villains instead of Alice. This may indicate she was the 4th Princess to be captured with Alice being 5th, Jasmine 6th and Kairi last.
