* RavenHairIvorySkin: Snow White has this look, and she's considered attractive (in her necrophiliac prince's opinion, at least). This trope is deconstructed as this story shows how unsettling it would be to have a human that's literally pale as snow.

* MonstrousHumanoid: Snow White. She definitely has the basic shape of a human, but lots of her traits are just... ''off''. Like a typical vampire, she drinks blood and has cold, unnaturally pale skin ([[OurVampiresAreDifferent but she can also grow up, unlike conventional undead creatures]]). She also can survive while having her heart cut out of her body.
