Snow White

A beautiful girl with dark hair, white as snow and rosy cheeks, and black hair. Apart from being beautiful, Snow White was also a good person. Early on, she was left without a mother, whose place was taken by her evil stepmother. After escaping from the castle to save herself from the evil Queen, Snow White went far into the woods and met new friends there. She cared for the dwarves as if they were her brothers. She was diligent and nothing was difficult for her, but in all her kindness she was a bit naive, so her stepmother managed to trick her. Regardless of all the problems she encountered, Snow White, thanks to true friendship and love, was saved in the end.

The Queen

An evil and arrogant person who loves only herself and who thinks that appearance is the most important thing in the world. Every day she needed to hear that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. But after the magic mirror said that Snow White was the most beautiful, the evil Queen could not stand it, so she decided that Snow White must die. She tried to kill her in all possible ways, but she did not succeed. In the end, she suffered because of her malice.

Seven Dwarfs

Cute and hardworking workers who go to work in the mountains every day to dig ore. They are simple and have good hearts, which they showed when they accepted Snow White. They loved her very much because she took good care of them, so they tried to protect her from danger, but they did not always succeed.

Hunter

At first, the Queen's faithful subject, but when he had to carry out her order and kill Snow White, he showed that there was something good in him. He did not carry out the order of the evil empress, although it could have cost him his life. He knew what was right and what was wrong, so he acted as his heart told him, instead of obeying the Queen's command. The hunter is proof that we should not follow orders and rules that do not agree with what we feel in our hearts.

Prince

A handsome young man who, passing through the woods, came across dwarves guarding Snow White, whom they thought was dead. The prince immediately fell in love with the girl and could not resist her beauty, so he had to take the coffin with Snow White to his castle so that he could watch her every day.
