As a young girl who lived all her young life treated as a precious princess, Lee Nun Songi's, or Snow as her family calls her, life is extremely easy and at the same time lacklustre. She was thought to mind her manners at all times, be wary of strangers (well every kid should know this right!?), and act like a princess that she is.
These teachings, to a young child who should be allowed some periods of naughtiness and abandon, could be very damaging emotionally and socially. Thus the little princess became a sad and cold child.
With her parents constantly working and travelling, and her big brother sent to Country E to study, the little princess became more and more soulless as time passed by.
Iiiiiiiiikkkkkkk!!! The loud screeching of a bike's brake and thump of feet planted firmly on the ground startled Snow who's halfheartedly playing with her favourite doll. She looked at the commotion and saw a little "boy" who almost bumped into their driveway's lamp post.
Little Jinha was so enamored of the little girl's dress that she forgot to look in front of her and she almost left a face mark on the lamp post! "Whoa! That's a close one Jinha!", she told herself.
"Hey, little boy! Are you alright? Did you damage the lamp post?", asked Snow innocently, for she was not used to communicating with another person except for their servants. Jinha's quick to rise temper flared, she quickly turned and was about to retort heatedly upon hearing this.
"Wha...wow! You're soooo beautiful! You look like a princess in those fairytales!" Of course even if a child, what more a little girl who loves fairytales and was nicknamed as one of the princesses, as cold as she is, when Snow heard this, coupled with the cute, elfin face, eyes as bright and big as newly minted pennies, and rosy cheeks of Jinha, she could not resist to preen and like the person who said it.
"Really, I'm beautiful? I really look like a princess? Well, I guess I do look like a princess. My mother said that I am technically a princess because our ancestors were Kings and Emperors of this country thousands and thousands of years ago," said Snow in her cute little girl voice. She somewhat felt like impressing this cute little boy in front of her.
On Jinha's side, wearing an emerald green coveralls, yellow boots and a brown beret as big as her face, was hanging on Snow's every word. Seeing this, the little girl was further encouraged to talk to "him".
"I'm Snow, what is your name?" Jinha who is still looking busily at Snow and her cute dress did not respond at all. Thinking that the kid was a little slow in the head, Snow took pity and decided there and then that she would be this little boy's friend and protect him always, afterall he thinks she looks like a princess! Also he looks like Dopey, one of Snow White's Dwarves, isn't it perfect?!
And that's how Snow and her Dwarf met and became friends....
