Other appearances[edit]
Kingdom Hearts[edit]
The Old Peddler Woman's visage appears on Snow White's Station in Sora's Dive to the Heart.
Design[edit]
The Queen is a pale-skinned woman with blue eyes, red lipstick, and seemingly penciled-on eyebrows. She wears a gold crown with five spikes on the front and a jewel on the tip of the middle and tallest spike. She also wears what seems to be a black balaclava that covers her ears, neck, and hair and only leaves her face exposed. She wears a close-fitting, han blue dress with enormous hanging sleeves with white cuffs.

Her physical appearance changes from that of a youthful queen to that of an ugly, old witch with long, tangled white hair. She has thick, black eyebrows, green eyes, and dark rings around her eyes. Her nose becomes long and crooked and gains a large wart and she only has one visible tooth on her bottom jaw. Her hands are gnarled and have pointed, dirty fingernails. In this form, the Queen is also often seen with a basket filled with poison apples.
Personality[edit]
The Queen is depicted as a vain and jealous individual. She is quite cruel, willing to kill Snow White out of her own jealousy, and shows no kindness to anyone, including her own servants. She also has zero tolerance for failure, punishing anyone who defies or fails her; an example of this is when she turns the Magic Mirror into an Unversed when he refused to attack Terra.
Abilities[edit]
The Queen is known to be an evil witch, who specializes in the dark arts. She has control over the Magic Mirror and can make it act according to her bidding.
Origin[edit]
Queen Grimhilde made her debut in Disney's first ever animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Stepmother of Snow White, she longed to kill the girl out of jealousy of her beauty. Consulting her Magic Mirror, she hired a huntsman to do the job. The man let Snow White escape, however, much to the Queen's displeasure.

She convinced Snow White to bite from a poisoned apple that would kill her unless she received Love's First Kiss. The Dwarfs went after the Queen, however, and cornered her at the edge of a cliff. In one last attempt to save herself, she grabbed a long stick and began to push a heavy boulder to crush them, but a bolt of lightning struck the ground, sending the Queen falling into the abyss with the boulder following suit, crushing her.
