The Queen

Unreleased

The Queen (aka. Evil Queen, Wicked Queen, or Queen Grimhilde) is a character in the upcoming PlayStation Portable game, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. She appears in her homeworld of Dwarf Woodland, taking on both her Queen and Witch forms. She is the stepmother of Snow White.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep
Scans have shown the Queen confronting both Terra and Ven in Dwarf Woodland.

One screen shows her in her normal form, explaining to Terra that she isn't interested in a person's heart. In another shot, she's shown in her Witch form, offering one of her poison apples to Ven.

Origin
The Queen made her debut in Disney's first ever animated film; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Stepmother of Snow White, she longed to kill the girl out of jealousy of her beauty. Consulting her Magic Mirror, she hired a huntsman to do the job. The man let Snow White escape, however, much to the Queen's displeasure.

She eventually found the girl in a cottage owned by the Seven Dwarfs, transforming into an old hag; her intention was to look like a kindly grandmother, yet this was not the case. She convinced Snow White to bite from a poisoned apple, that would kill her unless she received Love's First Kiss. The Dwarfs went after the Queen, however, the villain sent toppling off a cliff when one of her own schemes backfired.
