OVA
Description
Snow White (Kitty) features in multiple distinct Hello Kitty adaptations of the Snow White fairy tale. She embodies Hello Kitty's portrayal of the classic princess, characterized by kindness and gentleness. Her beauty incites jealousy in a ruling queen, resulting in her banishment. Her design maintains Hello Kitty's iconic white feline appearance with a red bow and no visible mouth.
Key story variations include:
- *Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater* (1987): Declared "fairest feline" by My Melody's crystal ball, she is banished by Evil Queen Catnip. She finds refuge with a single dwarf named Grinder. The queen attempts to kill her using enchanted flowers and a cursed singing teddy bear. Prince Samuel Penguin III revives her with a kiss, and she departs with him after questioning then accepting his proposal.
- A *Hello Kitty and Friends* episode: She receives three pets as birthday gifts before her stepmother, Lady Chrystal, becomes queen. The queen employs sorcery and assassination attempts (poisoned ribbon, enchanted comb, poisoned apple). Seven dwarfs protect her using their Book of Knowledge. Following the queen's demise, Prince Howard revives her with a kiss and their story ends with marriage.
- A 2001 OVA adaptation: This follows the core premise of banishment and refuge with dwarfs.
Her personality reflects traditional Snow White traits: innocence, kindness, and a nurturing demeanor. She cleans dwellings (Grinder's cottage or the dwarfs' home) and forms bonds with allies like dwarfs, animals, or banished citizens. The character functions within Hello Kitty's themes of friendship and resilience, adhering closely to the fairy tale's core morality.
All adaptations conclude with her revival via a prince's kiss and subsequent departure from the dwarfs. Romantic outcomes differ between productions.
