Personality
Initially she was considered to be something of an "ice queen". She was cold and calculating and despite serving as deputy mayor, she wasn't very informed as to the opinions and feelings of her fellow Fables, as a side effect can be seem dense at times. For example she was completely unaware of the seditious and revolutionary feelings of the Farm. Another kink in her personality was that she isn't above using her power and position for her own ends. This often lead to negative repercussions. For example, when she forcibly inserts herself into Bigby's investigation. It causes him to label her as a suspect. She marries Prince Charming to avenge herself and almost causes a war between his kingdom and the dwarfs. Her personality however masks the fact that she was terribly lonely. After many centuries, she was still angry at the loss of her marriage, and consequently she found herself resenting those in working relationships, particularly Beauty, with her successful multi-century marriage to Beast. As a former aristocrat, Snow had a tendency to associate love and happiness with handsome princes, fairy-tale castles and the trappings of high society. It took her a long time to realize that that really didn't matter to her. Initially, she rebuffs Bigby affections but eventually comes to terms with them. Furthermore after the Revolution, she is able to patch things up with Rose Red and her personality begins to soften considerably. Snow showed a strong emotional dependence on Bigby when he left. Before she and Bigby became romantically interested in each other, she tended to be insecure with her life. She and Bigby have a deeply caring and loving relationship. Living with Bigby and their children in the house built for them on Bigby's land, Snow finally appears to be happy. She is also one of the most responsible, intelligent, and diligent fables, while also the most sarcastic, to top it up she is the only ex-wife of Prince Charming who has children.

“It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
