Snow White is the titular protagonist of Disney's first animated feature-length film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She is a young princess; the "Fairest One of All", whose beauty is defined by her inherent kindness and purity. Shortly after discovering love in a charming Prince, Snow White learned that her jealous stepmother, the Evil Queen, was determined to kill her. Snow White forcibly ran away from home to escape the Queen's wrath, but found shelter in the cottage of seven dwarfs. Under the care of her new companions, Snow White dreamt of reuniting with her prince and living happily ever after. Snow White is the first official member of the Disney Princess line-up. Her character provided the basis for later heroines in Disney fairy tales, such as Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Many of Snow White's traits — such as her royal lineage, friendly relationship with animals, and propensity for singing — continue to inspire both heroes and heroines in Disney animated films to this day.
