The First Queen

The First Queen is a deleted minor character from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Background
Not much is known about Snow White's beautiful mother. Disney didn't even mention her in the movie. Nor was there any images of her. However a vintage sticker book was published by Lesieur-Cotelle &amp; Associates S.A (R.C.B 9691). It was given to Disney enthusiast Alexandre Milazzo by a friend. The book contains a Walt Disney Productions copyright and a Mir Supe is credited as editor. In this sticker book is a picture of the artist's version of Snow White's mother and the story, which is written in French. The scene of Snow White's mother sewing beside her window is reminiscence of the Grimm Brother's story. She apparently can also be seen in the 1952 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Golden Book.

In the Golden Book, She sat by a window one winter's day while sewing and wished for a daughter with lips red as blood, skin as white as snow, and hair as black as ebony.

In the spring she gave birth to a baby girl that she and the king named Snow White. Sadly the good queen died shortly after Snow White's birth. The king (another unseen character) was devestaded over the death of his wife. The king later remarried to Queen Grimhilde. When the king later died, Grimhilde took over the kingdom.

Once Upon a Time
Despite not appearing in the 1937 film, she appeared on Once Upon a Time and she was played by Rena Sofer and Eva Allan as a teenager. Her character's name is Queen Eva. In the TV series, Eva dies on Snow White's birthday after Cora poisons her. After Eva's funeral, Cora explains to the dead queen that she was the one who poisoned her and she tried to make Snow White do something evil - a plan she will not abondon. It was explained that Eva and Cora knew each other when they were younger. Eva visits the kingdom of King Xavier, and she happens to notice a young woman named Cora who was the Miller's Daughter, in peasant garb delivering flour. For her own amusement, Eva sticks out her foot and trips Cora, causing her to spill the flour. Cora insults the princess, who is asked by King Xavier if she is alright. Eva states she is fine aside from the fact Cora has ruined her slippers. Cora is made to kneel and apologize, although the accident was not her fault.
