"I do!" Snow assured her soon to be step-mother. "I'm sure Father will find you quite beautiful; moreso than usual." She smiled with the assurance of a child. She took for granted the fickleness and gravity of love. Her mother and father had loved each other, so why couldn't her father and Regina? It made sense to her. Of course, she did not know that her father was still grieving for his deceased wife and was not looking for another love match.
She grinned as Regina spoke of the next wedding: Snow's. "I hope to look as beautiful as you on my wedding day," she said earnestly. "Surely you'll be there with father, as you're to be my new mother. I'll need your guidance in the future." She was excited to have a female figure to turn to advice. She loved her father but she had questions and concerns that she feared bringing up to him. It helped, she suppose, that Regina wasn't that much older than her. Had she been older herself she might have realized the issue with the age gap.

Snow took note of how handsome he was. Princes tended to look as such and she reminder herself that despite his pleasing outward appearance, his inner self could be quite ugly. She hoped the reports she'd heard of Prince James had been exaggerated for her own sake. She curtsied to the two visitors, rising up with a straight back. Her mother had taken the effort to ensure that her daughter knew her courtesies and could represent herself befitting her station. "The honor is mine," she countered, placing a polite smile on her lips.
She allowed the prince to press a kiss to her knuckles, taking note of his politeness. She figured it could be an act, although he did seem sincere. Leopold urged his guests to follow him into the drawing room where refreshments would be served. Snow followed after her father, sending a sidelong glance at James. She wondered if what she was witnessing was the truth.
"I hope your journey was not too tiring," she spoke to him, figuring polite conversation was safe to start with.

Snow supposed she should have seen this day coming. Living with her father and step-mother she'd been somewhat shielded from the world of young adults. But despite the coddling of her father she knew where her destiny, and duty, rested. Through a marriage with a neighboring kingdom she would be bringing her family and subjects prosperity and safety. Her parents had been arranged to marry by their fathers and had developed a strong love for each other. The princess could only hope for the same. Although, with the rumors of Prince James' attitude, she highly doubted it.
She'd never come across the young royal though she'd heard plenty about his reputation. He was a talented sportsman and warrior; few were better than he with a sword in their hand. Yet his talent had gone to his head leading to him developing quite the conceited attitude. He also held a reputation of being quite the womanizer. If Leopold had lovers during his marriage to both her mother and Regina Snow was unaware. Yet this prince seemed to flaunt his affairs. Would he put a stop to them upon marrying her? She was unsure.
With dread she watched as a group of strangers road across the stone bridge leading to the castle, signalling the arrival of her soon-to-be husband. Snow White gathered her courage, not intending for her future husband to see her misgivings before going down to the entrance hall to greet him. She paused beside her father, gently taking his offered arm.

Frankly, Snow would never have expected her daughter to marry a pirate. Especially the one that they'd fought on the shores of Lake Nostos as they'd tried to defeat Cora and return to Storybrooke. But stranger things had occurred in her life. Nothing was impossible, it seemed.
She smiled gently as he opened the door. Despite her earlier misgivings about the man Snow was sure that he had her daughter's best interests at heart. She briefly wondered what he thought of the family he would be marrying into the next morning. It was an expansive one,for sure. Besides herself, Charming, and Neal he'd be gaining a step-son in Henry. She knew the boy and the pirate had spent time together and seemed to get along well. She only hoped Hook could fill the father figure void in Henry's life. The princess also had expressed her interest to her husband in her daughter having other children. Snow enjoyed having a large family, something that was denied her as a child. Grandchildren were something that she hoped for, in addition to possible children of her own.
"If you don't mind," she stated, stepping inside the room. "I just wanted to see if you have everything you need for the ceremony tomorrow. Your clothing was delivered, wasn't it?" The seamstresses had been hard at work in creating suitable garments for the entire family. Snow had been quite particular in her planning, wanting everything to be absolutely perfect. Even Neal, the tiniest member of the family, would be outfitted befitting a prince for the ceremony.

Although Snow had known her for only a short while the young princess was sure that no one else could make a more wonderful queen aside from her mother than Regina. She was beautiful, kind, and graceful. What else could a king look for in a queen? The young girl watched in delight as her mother-to-be was laced into the wedding gown that was to be fitted to her frame.
"You look beautiful, Regina," she commented, her lips turned up into a smile. "You'll make the most exquisite bride on your wedding day." Initially she'd been upset with her father's idea to remarry but had come to terms with the decision. He was looking for someone to help her through adolescence and into adulthood, not replace her mother. She was grateful that he didn't wish to erase Eva's lasting presence.
"It shall be the most wonderful wedding anyone has ever attended!"

"No, no. The roses are to be placed near the entrance hall not by the windows."
Snow overlooked the placement of the flowers for the ceremony, biting her lip as her plans began to unravel around her. It seemed not so long ago she was the one getting married and now, to her delight, Emma was. The harried looking servant replaced the vases she'd pointed out, hoping that the erratic mother of the bride would be pleased. Snow wanted everything to be perfect for her daughter's wedding to the reformed Captain Hook.
"Perfect!"
She chose to ignore the sigh of relief from the servant. She gave him a smile in thanks, momentarily patting his arm in apology for her behavior. She knew she was driving the staff crazy with her suggestions and demands for how the ceremony was to be set up and run. No doubt her husband was ready to draw her aside to make her take a step back.
The venue was set. What else? She figured she'd check on the couple before heading to bed. She set off toward the main staircase, choosing to visit her future son-in-law first. The royal paused before the chamber assigned to him, knocking on the door.
"Killian? Are you still awake?"

I'm going to have way too much fun with these two! I would love some Enchanted Forest set threads as well as Storybrooke. I have something of an AU in mind as well.

| ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Name:. Mary Margaret Blanchard Nolan (Snow White)
.:Nick Name:. Snow
.:Affiliation:. Heroes/Royals
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Mary Margaret has a slim build inherited from her mother. She stands around five feet, six inches tall. Her hair is dark enough to be considered black. In the Enchanted Forest it was long and somewhat curly, resting a little above her waist. In Storybrooke her hair is styled in a pixie cut. She chooses mostly conservative clothing in Storybrooke while her clothing in the Enchanted Forest is more elaborate.
.:Height:. 5’6’’
.:Portrayed by:. Ginnifer Goodwin
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Snow has a strong personality. As a child she was the textbook example of a princess: prim, proper, and polite. However once Regina began her crusade toward ruining Snow's life, the princess developed a tougher attitude. Surviving on her own for a majority of her exile taught her to defend herself and to take whatever means necessary for survival: banditry included.
Despite this, Snow is a loving person to the core. She is devoted toward her friends and family, and enjoys believing in the best in everyone.
.:Strengths:. Snow is a skilled archer. Out of all weapons she is most comfortable with using a bow. Her diplomatic skills are strong despite not ruling her kingdom for very long; these skills are now put to use in her role as mayor. Her ability to love is her greatest strength. She loves her family wholeheartedly and is forgiving of many faults.
.:Weaknesses:. Snow holds grudges. Upon learning that her mother was killed by Cora she became determined to kill the other woman. In her younger years she was somewhat vain and small minded though her mother instructed her on the proper way to behave according to her station. Her ability to love, her greatest strength, is also her greatest weakness. She would do anything for her loved ones which could prove dangerous.

(Original timeline)
Snow was born to King Leopold and Queen Eva. She was the only child of the two and doted on during her childhood. Before her coming of age birthday celebration Snow’s mother, Queen Eva, mysteriously became ill. Seeking the help of the Blue Fairy Snow was offered a chance at saving her mother’s life by taking another’s through the use of a candle filled with dark magic. Unable to justify the taking of an innocent life, Snow was not able to save her mother. Unbeknownst to the young princess the Blue Fairy had been Cora in disguise, intent upon darkening the girl’s heart.
After her mother’s death Snow traveled extensively with her father as he sought another mother for her. She was saved from a runaway horse by a young woman named Regina, who her father then proposed marriage to. Snow witnessed Regina kissing the stable boy Daniel after being betrothed to her father which upset her greatly. After speaking with Regina and learning that Daniel was the girl’s true love, Snow promised not to tell anyone that Regina was planning on not marrying Leopold. However the young girl was tricked by Cora, Regina’s mother, into sharing information about Regina and Daniel. Daniel was then killed by Cora based on Snow’s admittance, causing Regina to blame Snow for ruining her happiness.
Snow enjoyed the life of a well brought up princess until the murder of her father. It wasn’t long after her father’s death that Regina sent a huntsman to murder Snow. Realizing what was to happen, Snow begged of the huntsman a chance to write a letter of farewell to her step-mother to apologize for any wrongdoings she might have committed against her. Unable to kill the princess because of her actions, the huntsman allows Snow to go free.
Snow White lived on her own for quite a while, becoming a bandit and a wanted criminal. Her attitude toward life changed during this period; she was no longer the picturesque princess of her childhood but a hardened thief. Snow befriends a young woman named Red and her grandmother who help to shelter her during the first period of her exile.
One of the most poignant incidents of Snow’s life was to occur when attempting to steal a pouch of jewels from Prince James( David). After she pawns the jewels to trolls but is captured by David not long after. She begrudgingly agrees to help him recover a ring sold by her to the trolls. During this time she bestows a nickname upon him: Prince Charming. She initially tries to run from him but is cornered by members of the Black Guard who David helps her defeat. Deciding to stick with him she leads him to the Troll Bridge where the two are nearly vanquished by the trolls. Snow saves David’s life by sacrificing magical dust she’d been planning on using on Regina on the trolls, reducing them to bugs. She jokingly tries on the ring that he recovered from the trolls before returning it to him, the pair going their separate ways.
Snow soon after finds out that David is to marry Princess Abigail, upsetting her as she’d grown fond of the man. She decides to forget about him, requesting the services of Rumpelstiltskin. In return for a potion to forget about David the Dark One requests a strand of her hair. Before drinking the potion she receives a letter from David asking to meet, declaring his love. She goes to the proposed meeting but is captured and jailed. She befriends a dwarf named Grumpy and escapes with him. Nearly leaving the castle she is accosted by King George, David’s ‘father’, and ordered to break the prince’s heart so that he could go ahead and marry Abigail. Reluctantly she does so to save the prince’s life.
Snow stays with Grumpy and his brothers when she then takes the potion, missing the news of the breaking of David’s engagement by a matter of minutes. Her personality changes and she becomes cold and empty. She declares her intent to kill the queen. She eventually comes across Regina and aims an arrow to shoot her but David takes the shot instead. Moved by this she kisses him, breaking the spell of the potion. He is soon after kidnapped by King George’s guards leaving Snow and her allies to lead a rescue mission.
She is shocked to find that he is the prisoner of the Evil Queen. She meets with Regina and willingly takes a bite of a poisoned apple. Snow is later awakened from the Sleeping Curse by True Love’s Kiss, courtesy of David. He proposes after which she accepts.
Snow and David waged war against the Evil Queen, eventually winning back the kingdom. Despite their victory they were awarded no rest as David’s mother was put in danger by King George. Snow is tricked by King David into drinking a potion that would leave her unable to reproduce. She then journeys to the famed Lake Nostos to retrieve magical water to heal David’s mother, Ruth. Ruth learns of Snow’s fate and tricks the princess into drinking the magical water which heals her but which leaves Ruth to die from her poisonous wound. Before Ruth perished Snow married David in a simple ceremony.
Snow attempts to see if Regina has come to regret her actions and tests her by allowing her to go free after imprisoning her. Yet when Regina tries to kill Snow upon achieving her freedom, Snow exiles the former queen.
Not long after Snow and David are married in an elaborate ceremony which is interrupted by Regina. She ominously promises them that she will destroy their happiness. A few months later Snow discovers she is pregnant with her and David’s first child. She recalls Regina’s prior warning and fears for the fate of her child. Upon speaking with the imprisoned Rumpelstiltskin Snow learns that her daughter is to be the Savior who will break the curse that Regina is planning.
After consulting with their allies Snow and David commission a wardrobe crafted from an enchanted tree trunk. Snow is to go through the wardrobe, which can only send one person, to the Land without Magic where she is to raise their child for the next twenty-eight years until the curse can be broken. Before she escapes into the wardrobe Snow goes into labor, giving birth to a daughter named Emma. Snow gives her daughter to David who manages to place Emma in the wardrobe before being attacked by Regina. Still weak from childbirth and the devastation that the curse will occur, Snow makes her way to her child’s nursery where she confronts the Evil Queen. She tells Regina that she is too late as Emma has already been sent through the portal. She is then engulfed in Regina’s magic where she is sent to Storybrooke living under the alias of Mary Margaret Blanchard, unknowing of her true identity.

Peace and quiet; it was a true rarity that was to be cherished. It seemed since the curse was broken that she had barely a moment to herself. It wasn’t to say that she wasn’t glad that the curse was broken; Emma had awakened the town and reunited dozens of families and friends. Yet the broken curse had ushered in wave after wave of discord and enemies. Catching a quiet moment was as rare as True Love, or so she thought. Snow paused in her reading to hear for the telltale cry of her son from the other room but was greeted with nothing but silence. She smiled gently before reclining back against the sofa to turn the page of her novel. Emma and David were busy at the station and Henry was with Regina for the weekend, leaving her alone with young Neal. A piercing cry ripped through the air causing the new mother to groan. She hurriedly set down her book to seek out her child, having misjudged the baby’s desire to give his mother a break. [/code]
