How we meet them
Stopping. That is all he does at first, and the story notes he said it badly and knew it.
Personality
Awkward and honest about it. He knows how strange his request sounds and makes it anyway.
What they want
He cannot leave her out on a hill in a box, and he says exactly that.
How they change
Asks a question, drops her down a hill, and apologises.
How they speak
Haltingly. His two lines are an admission that he cannot explain himself and an apology for dropping her.
How the story treats them
The dwarfs agree immediately, because they had been thinking the same thing for a long time and could not say it either.
One surprising thing
In this retelling and in the Grimms', Snow White is woken by being jolted, not by a kiss. The kiss was added by much later retellings.
If they were real today
He would be the person who says the sincere thing out loud and immediately looks at the floor.
Things they say
- “We did. I'm terribly sorry.”
Who they know
Snow Whitefriend
He asks to take her home, drops her down a hill, and that is what saves her.
