Shirayukihime

Japanese folklore has its own 'snow' stories, such as 雪女 ('snow woman'), who is a supernatural entity quite different from the gentle 白雪姫.
The word 姫 ('princess') is used not only for royalty but also as a term of endearment for a beloved daughter or a beautiful young woman.
In Japanese pop culture, characters who resemble 白雪姫 are often referred to as having a 'Snow White' aesthetic, which emphasizes pale skin and dark hair.
