Role in the film[]
The king married an unnamed woman who became queen of his kingdom and they had a daughter, whom they named Snow White, because she was born in a snowstorm. However, as the years went by, the queen became deathly ill and died during Snow's childhood. The king later married an unnamed woman, who grew a hatred of Snow White. The king's wife sent him, unknown to the king, off somewhere and he mysteriously disappeared, which meant Snow White's stepmother became the sole ruler of the kingdom. When Snow White reached adulthood, she tried to find her father after learning and seeing how cruel her stepmother was. When Snow White was tricked into eating a poisoned apple by the queen disguised as a hag, the queen revealed that she killed the king years ago, much to Snow White's horror, just as she fell into a deathly sleep. After Snow White was revived, she and her friends freed the kingdom from the Evil Queen's tyranny where she was crowned the new queen and married her love interest, Jonathan, allowing the two of them to restore the kingdom to its original state her parents had built and ruled upon.
