Plot

Snow White's parents, Queen Grace and King Cole, were beloved rulers who cared deeply for their people. Queen Grace in particular made a habit of personally assisting any citizen who needed help. One day, she fell ill without warning and died. Before passing, she told her daughter, "The mirror only tells half the story.

True beauty comes from helping others." Because Snow White was very young when her mother died, she never learned how to aid the citizens. As a result, she grew into a misguided teenager who preferred spending time with her friends Goldilocks, Bo Peep, and Little Red Riding Hood rather than helping anyone. For instance, when she and her friends chose to attend a joust party instead of visiting an orphanage, her father ordered her to return before morning and to wear the royal robe.

She ignored his instructions, removed the robe, and left it in the limousine. At the party, she met a handsome man and fell in love with him, but he did not return her affection because of how she treated people he considered "riff raff" and because of his respect for Queen Grace.

When Snow White came home, her father was angry that she had not worn the robe—he had learned about it from the newspaper. Snow White wept, accused him of being unfair, and ran to her room. Seeing how misguided she had become, King Cole decided to find a wife like Queen Grace who could teach Snow White to be a proper lady. His assistant went to the Fairy Godmother, who started a marriage service. Meanwhile, due to mischief caused by Mambo, the Scales of Good and Evil tipped heavily toward evil. This caused Lady Vain to become evil and made Rumpelstiltskin reappear. Rumpelstiltskin, apparently evil again because of the Scales, used the Magic Mirror to give Lady Vain a face identical to Queen Grace's. Lady Vain attended the marriage service, and King Cole accepted her, unaware that she was actually a scheming witch who wanted to take over the kingdom.
