Snow's Past [Potential Comic Spoilers!]
So the game (particularly the third episode) has made a few allusions to Snow's past and why the thing with Crane bothered her so much. For those of you who've read the comics, you know that going down this particular memory lane would get pretty damn dark pretty damn fast.
Do you think Telltale will explore what happened to her in future installments? It doesn't seem like she's told Bigby about what happened to her yet. Will we get a chance to talk to her about it or will they just leave things unspoken?

I'm up for some comic book spoilers if you're willing to share ? :')
I'll...just go ahead and let this picture tell the story:
That's what you get for repeatedly cutting ol' pappy's beard when all he was trying to was rescue his treasure
That's what you get for repeatedly cutting ol' pappy's beard when all he was trying to do was rescue his treasure
So they raped her?
More like prolonged adolescent sex slavery. But yeah. Pretty much.
God damn. I feel bad for her even when it is a fantasy comics
Yeah. Really puts into perspective some of what she says. "There's only so much you can repress, you know?"
The spoiler mentioned here is actually told early in the series, in the 1001 Nights.
Also, Bigby knows: when he checks the dwarves in the Fables book in Episode 1 he says "Don't even get me started on them." So I think he knows. He won't be said though, because spoilers. I guess.
Well, I would imagine that the dwarves were seedy characters in general so Bigby might just loathe them for their reputation or from other encounters with them. There were a few of conversation options in this episode that implied he doesn't know what happened to Snow or at least was never explicitly told about it by Snow. Beauty said that there were things that Snow doesn't talk about and when Snow mentions repressing things, Bigby can ask her "What else is there?" Whether he knows or not, it would be a way to develop their relationship with each other if Bigby could get Snow to talk openly about that kind of thing with him.
Being an avid Fables fan, I replied with "I know" to Beauty when she remarked that Snow had a dark past.
Still, it would've made more sense for Snow to have a greater reaction to Bigby showing Crane's photo to her.
Well, she seems pretty good at keeping her composure under duress. And she was at a funeral. I wouldn't be surprised if she later on proceeded to lock herself in her room and scream into a pillow in frustration.
I believe on the next page it mentions the typical life span of a slave under dwarves was a year, and Snow was able to survive for about 7 years under their reign.
Yeah, it's likely (If she even had time to go home) That she'd go home and start to cry all alone, because of all the things that have happened. She goes through even more hell in the comics, so it's surprising she can get through all of it.
Im pretty sure if they brought it up it will be touched on, especially since its kind of relevant to her situation.
What would you have wanted her to do? Seemed to me like she was desperately trying to keep herself together.
Might want to replay episode 1. "Dwarves, the less said about that the better."
Like I said above, the fact that Bigby doesn't like a bunch of seedy-looking dwarves doesn't mean that he knows what happened to Snow. Even if he does, the dialogue in episode 3 clearly implies that, at the very least, Snow doesn't know that Bigby knows and has never said anything to him about it. You saw the way she danced around the issue when he inquired further. So maybe it's something that she'll only talk about later on if you gain her trust throughout the episodes.
Bigby knew as well as others. Bigby would never hurt Snow's feelings and won't go into further detail, also he feels what Snow feels. There is no need to gain more trust, but there is for courage, in the first issue Beauty crosses the line and with the return of Charming it would have turned into a mess. Boy Blue doesn't want there to be a mess in the business office and knows because Snow told him the rules, but the first one to know and the one who would get just as furious as Snow is Bigby. That's why even though Snow was right there when Bigby mentions the dwarves she doesn't get furious. Episode 3 would explain the only issue Crane is in though, and how far it got. The explanation would be Snow's history.
To make it simple Snow always gets furious if anyone mentions the dwarves except for Bigby and Blue. If someone has a rape-fantasy about her and she finds out she'll be furious at the person because she'll remember the past with the dwarves and be furious with almost everyone except Bigby. That makes more sense.
Holy smokes! If I had been aware of this backstory my Bigby would've done things a bit differently in episode 3. Thanks for sharing! A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
Snow is tough and almost always hides her emotions, "I can take care of myself, I've been doing it for centuries." It's explained in the comics in more detail. If it would be Beauty who showed the photo, it would have been different. Bigby wants Snow safe and Snow found out about that the not so calm way, hence the showing of the photo would be interpreted correctly since Bigby's calm.
Oh.
Now I just feel sad. Poor Snow...
since it seems to be such a large part of Snow's character and the Fables universe on a whole, I wouldn't rule it out. It would definitely be an exciting topic to explore in the next episodes, especially since every episode seems to have a profound effect on her emotionally
... Yeah, all things considered you might be right about that!
Oh, that would just be amazing! I SO want to talk about that and find out stuff about her! But i think Bigby sorta knows a little, because in episode 1, when you look at the dwarves in that book, he says:
"Ugh... Dwarves. Less said about that, the better."
So i guess Snow told him SOMETHING, right? I dunno, in my opinion, i would LOVE to talk about their pasts. It would be so cool.
Umm maybe he knows but if you ask me it would make more sense that he simply meant dwarves generally because in episode 3 he doesn't seem to have any clue about this, Beauty knew though. I think the whole stress she is going through will make her crack emotionally and maybe tell Bigby about it in the following episodes. That would be a deep and emotional moment especially because Snow's voice actor is absolutely brilliant.
Congratulations.
You made me feel that feel.
I want that scene to happen so badly now.
In the books, the dwarves have a reputation for being horrible animals who lure young maidens to their hut and rape them and kill them, so he probably knows about that but not about Snow White's history with them.
Actually it is work to death, not literally kill them. Bigby has a huge sense of it, if Snow jogged her memory Bigby would know. It sure explains why a lot of the choices had "wrong time" in them.
Replaying episode 2. When bigby connects the evidence about the apple,beauty says "you know she almost died when uhh....." and just stops,lets bigby talk.
Okay, but you get my point about how probably everyone knows about what the Dwarves are capable of.
Yeah I do get your point. Bigby is the only fable that can know Snow's past depending on Snow having recaps is all I'm saying.
Poor Snow...
I guess Boy Blue is one of those who may possible know what happened? Because this is what he says to Beauty::
Besides, as we see in The Last Castle, it seems that he and Snow are friends who share their sad tales?
I agree, also he is Snow's assistant. Based on the events of episode 3, we will see him next episode.
I hope so! Pinocchio, Blue and Flycatcher were always my favorites in the comics (and we've been hinted with images of the Vorpal Sword and the Witching Cloak in the books of symbols/magic items in the office, I really hope we can see Boy Blue next)
This makes me wonder if we will see any of the dwarfs in the game.
