Meet the characters from Snow White with the Red Hair

Shirayuki

Okay, Shirayuki is the kind of heroine who quietly takes over every scene — soft-spoken but stubborn as a rock, she has this calm confidence that makes you want to trust her immediately. She’s an herbalist who insists on doing things herself (also somehow always ends up accidentally saving people — classic), loves plants more than small talk, and will glare at anyone who underestimates her. She’s sweet and practical but also secretly dramatic sometimes? Like she’ll whisper poetry in her head while chopping vegetables, I swear. Also she has that iconic red hair which she treats like both a statement and a nuisance depending on the day.

Zen Wisteria

Zen is the princely cinnamon roll with a sword who somehow manages to be both noble and awkward all at once — protective to a fault, with an earnest smile that could disarm an army. He’s decisive when it matters (dramatic entrance levels of decisive), but also the kind of guy who forgets small things, like where he put his gloves, and then blames it on training. Officially very proper; unofficially he’ll surprise you with terrible puns and an unhealthy fondness for baths, or maybe that’s just me projecting. He’s the kind of leader people follow because he actually listens, not because he shouts orders.

Mitsuhide Lowen

Mitsuhide is the no-nonsense right-hand man who looks like he was carved from stone but will secret-smile at a bouquet of roses (I’m serious, don’t laugh). Military precision, cool sarcasm, and the quiet tendency to outline escape routes in his head — he’s the planner, the one who notices the tiny details that everyone else misses. He seems cold at first but then does oddly thoughtful things like brewing tea the right way or watching the horizon like he’s waiting for something beautiful and slightly tragic. Also, don’t ask him about his past unless you want him to stare at you for a long very meaningful second.

Kiki Seiran

Kiki is a tiny hurricane of energy who acts like she’s three sizes too big for her uniform — loud, competitive, and weirdly philosophical when she’s had too little sleep. Combat-obsessed? Yes. Fashion-conscious? Also yes, which is confusing because she’ll stab you in the face with a grin and then fuss over a ripped seam. She’s got this very performative bravado but will absolutely melt over cute animals or a really good prank, and she’s inexplicably into overly elaborate nicknames for friends. Basically, she’s a mess in the most entertaining way possible, and honestly you’d miss the chaos if she quieted down.

Obi

Obi is the stoic, low-key guardian type who gives off “I will handle it” vibes and then handles it, no questions asked — but he also has this weird hobby of collecting small useless trinkets (like coins? bottle caps?) so he’s not all stone statue. He’s sharp, observant, and quietly brutal when required, yet he’ll make a dry joke at the worst possible moment and you’ll laugh because somehow he’s hilarious. He moves like a shadow and prefers to stay out of the spotlight, though he definitely has dramatic hidden layers (trauma, loyalty issues, secret soft spots — take your pick). Honestly, he’s mysterious in a good way; you think you know him and then he bakes cookies? Or was that a rumor.
