The Sleeping Beauty of the Poison Apple
Just one bite. Come on, just the one bite.

Profile
'Who is the fairest of them all?'—after asking the mirror that question over and over, she couldn't bear to wait for the answer and swallowed the poison herself. Her cheeks are still apple-red to this day, but it isn't a flush of health; it's the apple's curse seeping out from within. The poison apple in her hand hides a tiny eyeball that reflects, back at whoever peers in, 'the self they least want anyone to see.' The seven dwarves fled long ago, and now only seven shadows trail after her in a straggling line. She looks asleep, but she's actually been awake the whole time—she just can't find a reason to get up.
Relationships with other curses
The source of the mirror's power shares the same root as Meh, the Great's 'couldn't-care-less.' Bluebeard Bluebeard has proposed to her three times, and three times she's turned him down by pretending to be asleep.
How to deal with this curse
Snow-Whitened embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
