a/n: i wrote this story after watching the movie snow white. and i got fed up with pretty maidens who seem to have no brains, only beauty, and are so naive, well you know what i think of those fairy tales if you read on. and as for the falling in love with prince part, you don't wanna go there with me 'cause i can keep going and going about that. so i've decided to rewrite a fairytale where the heroine isn't just a pretty face and can actually defend themselves. R&R and tell me if it's a good start and if it is then i'll go on, if not then i'll stop.
Disclaimer: I do not own the basic plot of Snow White. Actually, neither does Disney. I think the original story belongs to the Brothers Grimm, either them or Anderson (can't quite remember). But I do own the characters and plot changes.

Prologue
"…And they lived happily ever after."
Yeah right. I slammed the book shut. What a stupid story. Everything in it is false! The story made me look like a loser, a helpless maiden who was so gullible and naïve and always needed to be rescued all the time.
I suppose people like to read mushy stories with brave princes rescuing the helpless – and beautiful – maiden from the evil witches. The spells would be broken by "true love's first kiss". They end up falling in love even though they've only set eyes on each other once before. And usually the perfect prince would sweep the perfect princess off her feet and carry her to his castle and "live happily ever after". They weren't in love, just lust. I know this because the stories about my cousins Ella and Aurora have basically the same plot. I guess Belle fared better than the rest of us because the story about her is more believable.
And as for the description of me, all it said was that I was beautiful. Okay, I guess I am pretty, but that's not the only thing I have. The story failed to mention that I am also smart and witty, both attribute I am very proud of (more so than my beauty). And the falling in love with the Prince part, that never happened. Even if it did, the author made it seem very shallow. I mean the Prince and "I" only met once before the "True Love's First Kiss."
And the name they gave me, it's the worst name ever! Come on, I mean, who would name their kid "Snow White". My skin is pale, but not "white as snow"! If it were, I would be a ghost.
This is the REAL story…
