First Appearance: KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep (2010) Origin: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
A queen that radiates fear as well as beauty, she rules over the kingdom with an iron fist, if one can even call it that. She cares naught for the welfare of any others around her, save for that of an enchanted mirror that answers her every call. Her first and only priority is herself, and to ensure that she remains the absolute fairest in all the land.
When Snow White claims that title, the queen sends her fleeing from the castle with a hunter hot on her tracks to take her life. The hunter reports back and she rejoices in satisfaction, having rid the world of an unnecessary distraction.
Unfortunately for her, the mirror reveals that Snow White lives and has found shelter with seven dwarves. Outraged that she had been fooled, she swears to take Snow White's life herself and transforms herself into a decrepit old woman. She arms herself with a basket of poison apples, and takes advantage of the dwarves's absence to kill the princess.
However, her victory is short-lived as the dwarves return to avenge Snow White. She runs to the cliffs, finding herself with the dwarves on one side and the dark depths on another. In desperation, she tries to extinguish their lives by prying a boulder loose to crush them. Before she can do so, a bolt of lightning strikes the ground at her feet, destroying the cliff and sending her plummeting to her death.
