* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Snow White is actually born a vampire; whether she actually is living or undead is ambiguous (especially considering she grows up and matures), but she is capable of surviving having her heart cut out. She is [[UndeathlyPallor extremely pale]] and cold, and seems to have some sort of MindControl or CharmPerson powers.

"Snow, Glass, Apples" is a short story by Creator/NeilGaiman. It is a FracturedFairytale of "Snow White" that flips the script.

A nameless queen doesn't know what to think when her stepdaughter bites her hand and sucks blood. When she realizes the girl needs prey, the queen sends her to be executed to save the kingdom. Unfortunately, taking out a vampire's heart is not enough to kill them.

!! Tropes for this story include

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe, the queen's stepdaughter is a vampire and she preys on victims until they've lost all her blood. The queen kills her to save the kingdom, only to fail when a prince saves Snow and sees the power in her, executing the queen. Snow and her Prince tell the story so that the roles are reversed.
* DownerEnding: The queen is burned alive in an oven, knowing the kingdom will fall to ruin into Snow's carnivorous rule.
* EveryoneHasStandards: We are reassured that the queen didn't eat Snow's heart; she's not a monster! Instead, she hung it up with garlic to protect her from its evil influence.
* GuileHeroine: The queen isn't physically strong. She has to use her wits to poison Snow when the heartless girl starts preying on those in the forest.
* SchmuckBait: The apple, especially when prepared with blood and poison.
