THIS GOT LONG HOLY HELL TOOK ME 4 HOURS
Constructing her Personality
Alrighty ho! I’m not going to add her history here anymore as I believe that that the game provided detailed information about her life before she turned into the Snow Queen and what her life led to after being freed from the False Mirror. Her actions in-game show that she strongly cares for her family and will go to great lengths for their sake. Desperate to cure her son of his comatose, she clung to the promises of the False Mirror even if it meant gambling her soul and the whole world away to save her son. Even when Floralia fell and Snow possessed no leads to her brother Ross Red’s survival, she still went to the fallen kingdom to look for him herself. Snow White is a hardy woman who will fight tooth and nail and freeze hell all over (hehe) to ensure the safety of her family.
I feel like Snow places huge importance on blood relations, mostly because they are the only people who remained by her side in all her immortal life. The Mountain King, her father, sacrificed his kingdom for her sake, and this testifies to their deep familial bond between father and daughter. At his death, Ross Red and Gwyn are the only surviving members of her family and the people she has ever intimately known who still survive to this day. That said, she is not quick to be friendly with strangers, unless she owes them a huge debt (like the detective), or are familiar with her family. With strangers, she maintains a stern, impassive, yet kind countenance, cordial yet impersonal. However, she warms up easily with who her family considers as friends and treats them extremely well. For example, she sponsored Gwyn and Gerda’s extravagant wedding where royalties from all kingdoms were invited to. That’s some extreme mothering right there.
However, she keeps grudges, and no family is exempted from that. I feel like she still resents James a bit for what had happened to Gwyn. Also, when Rasputin crashed the wedding, Snow Queen had no reservations in fighting him although he was her uncle. She will destroy anyone who compromises the safety and happiness of her small, tight-knit family, no matter who they were.
All in all, we have a fiercely caring queen and mother who is determined to brave all odds for the sake of her family. Of course, the responsibility of maintaining her precious family leaves little time for meeting new people. Add to that her reserved and icy personality that she presents to strangers, and it might prove difficult to approach the Snow Queen. Gain the trust, love, and approval of her family, and you may have a chance of warming her heart.
Snow is the type of woman to spoil her lover. She has the power and wealth to give you whatever you want and does so with pleasure. She also fusses over you, making sure that you have eaten well and gotten the proper amount of sleep. Her maternal instincts kick to overdrive if she sees a single bruise on your body. She may get overbearing, so be sure to calm her down and assure her that you’re fine.
She doesn’t expect anything in return, but if you give her a gift, she will be overjoyed. It doesn’t have to be any expensive items as long as it’s from you. But if you handcraft something for her? Say, paint her a portrait, make her a sculpture, craft her jewelry, or brew a potion to exfoliate her skin, her brain will reset and she will legitimately b l u s h. The first time you saw it, you were just as baffled, but she looked so adorable with her face flaring up that you got embarrassed as well for staring too long.
She’s a respected queen, so you’re going to have to dress to impress. You get to wear the finest clothing known throughout the kingdoms perfectly tailored to your size. You and Snow will be the most beautiful couple in any balls you attend, and the spectators will know you belong together through your matching/complementary clothing and regalia if your entwined arms and loving glances are not enough to clue them in. You might feel concerned that she’s giving you too many clothes, but she really enjoys dressing you up in gorgeous silks and make you look your best.
Dates for you and Snow White are private affairs that aren’t at all extravagant. Too busy for that. Your dates (not counting the balls and events you attend for social and political matters) would be enjoying each other’s company in her study as you drink tea. If she’s feeling more stressed, she pops off the cork of aged wine from her personal wine stash and rant about her worries, frustrations, and anxieties. They mostly concern the safety of her family, the matters of wicked curses and ancient treacheries popping out of nowhere (the dp universe is saturated with family drama and it involves magic my fucking GOD ) and, sometimes, when she’s particularly drunk, she bitches about James and his curse and his stupid face gods why did i fall for that idiot
Snow is cute when she gets drunk, but she is just as much as a pain in the ass when she is. She gets whiny and clingy, and it would have been cute if she’s not spilling the glass of wine she insists on holding all over the cushions as she attempts to cuddle you (”Snow, they’re velvet! You’re going to have to replace them if you don’t put the wine glass down!”).
Most of the time, you keep yourself sober and just short of tipsy to revel these rare moments of vulnerability. You fondly watch as her uncontained giggles break through her icy demeanor and her pristine diction slurs. When the morning comes, you rise before Snow. You retrieve the painkilling elixir from the dresser, prepare her a glass of cool water, and peel a fresh orange, and set the items on the nightstand. When she wakes up, groaning from the hangover, it was your turn to fuss over her. You hand her the elixir, mindful of the dosage she gulps down, give her the glass of water next, and feed her each slice of orange. Her face is contorted in discomfort at first, but it gradually relaxes as the headache disappears and makes way for the awareness of your caring actions. The both of you cuddle afterward, only parting when one of the butlers knock at your door to remind you of your duties.
That said, you’re Snow’s most trusted confidante. She tells you everything and trusts that you’ll swear secrecy to whatever you hear. If she’s having difficulties with a certain matter, your encouraging words and affection lift her spirits. Knowing that you are there with her to share her burdens gives her comfort and propels her to see her problems through.
I feel like this queen is touch-starved. In private, she clings to you at every waking moment. If she’s busy reading through letters and contracts, she has her hand on your thigh as you read a book beside her. When you’re strolling in the garden, enjoying each other’s company amidst the beauty of the castle flora, she has her arm entwined in yours. When you’re both in bed, she cuddles to you and leeches off your warmth until you both fall asleep.
I feel like Snow studies magic, herbology, alchemy and potion-making in her free time. She has an extensive collection of books about said subjects in her library. When her schedule isn’t too tight, she goes on excursions by herself to research and collect ingredients and new species of plants. She values learning and curiosity and desires to see the same spirit in her partner. If you accompany her in these adventures, you can help her in logging in information, stocking supplies, and holding her stuff for her. When you’re out camping, you get to stargaze and identify constellations in the sky.
Before you make it to Snow, you have to gain the good graces of her family first. Gwyn will be more forthcoming, but good luck dealing with Ross. Even if you already are dating Snow, he will always have his reservations about the relationship. Nevertheless, he doesn’t dislike you as much as he disliked James. It’s just his protectiveness over his sister showing. To earn the complete trust of Ross would require you to perform an act of self-sacrifice. Are you willing to lay your life for Snow? Will you compromise your own interests for her sake? Succeed, and not only will you obtain the loyalty and good graces of the fearsome Ross Red, but Snow would also admire and love you more.
Dating Snow would mean being Gwyn’s foster parent. You get free access to dote and fuss over Gwyn, and on really good days, you and Snow get to do it together. Gwyn will be frozen in embarrassment, but he is grateful for having such caring people in his life.
WIth you, Snow gets to loosen up more. Once, you managed to convince her to create a Snow Wonderland inside the castle. Everyone was absolutely thrilled and joined in the fun. The best thing about it is you convinced her to do this stunt in July, in the middle of summer. It was truly one of the more exciting things that happened inside the kingdom.
Snow needs a partner, an equal who she can trust and rely on. By herself, she survives well enough, but with a partner, she wants to thrive gloriously. The both of you will be a formidable power couple.
