Snow White is a young girl characterized by physical fragility and innocence. She resembles a doll with china-blue eyes and acts with absolute passivity. Her pristine appearance draws the attention of predators and protectors alike as she moves through the forest. She possesses very little agency in her daily life, allowing others to dictate her movements and responsibilities.

The aging but beautiful queen relies entirely on physical appearance for her sense of power and worth. She views beauty as a measurable, scientific truth. She reacts to minuscule physical changes, such as brown spots on her hand or whiskers, with panic. Her vanity drives her to violent extremes to maintain her status over others.

An enchanted object that pronounces absolute judgments on beauty. It serves as an unquestionable authority figure in the kingdom, delivering opinions that carry immense weight. Its declarations dictate the actions of those who rely on it, acting as the ultimate arbiter of physical worth.

A woodsman who receives brutal orders from the aging queen. He operates as an instrument of the kingdom's power but possesses enough independence to alter his instructions. Instead of taking Snow White's heart as ordered, he chooses deception to avoid committing murder.

A group of wise men living in a fully equipped home in the wildwood. They are compared to small czars, holding distinct authority and control over their domain. They value Snow White primarily for domestic labor, warning her of outside dangers while they work in the mines.

A royal figure who becomes fixated on Snow White's passive physical form. He is obstinate and refuses to leave her side, waiting by her glass coffin until his hair turns green. His desire drives him to claim possession of her entirely based on her physical appearance.
