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.

Famous quotes containing the word personality:
“From infancy, a growing girl creates a tapestry of ever-deepening and ever- enlarging relationships, with her self at the center. . . . The feminine personality comes to define itself within relationship and connection, where growth includes greater and greater complexities of interaction.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The child begins life as a pleasure-seeking animal; his infantile personality is organized around his own appetites and his own body. In the course of his rearing the goal of exclusive pleasure seeking must be modified drastically, the fundamental urges must be subject to the dictates of conscience and society, urges must be capable of postponement and in some instances of renunciation completely.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“India is an abstraction.... India is no more a political personality than Europe. India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
