* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: When they chase down the Queen after failing to get back home in time to save Snow White from her. With Happy being ever cheerful, Bashful being shy and Sleepy being somewhat passive, you wouldn't expect them to get angry, but all seven have furious looks on their faces when they're chasing her. Happy fits this trope more than the other dwarfs though, as he too can get annoyed with Dopey if his antics cross the line.

* CharacterDevelopment: He's the character that changes the most over the course of the movie, so it's Grumpy that has a character arc. At first, it's clear that he does not like Snow White staying in the dwarfs' cottage, and while he does grow to like her, he doesn't want to admit it, but when the animals rush to tell everyone that she's in danger, it's Grumpy who leads them and unleashes everyone against the Queen, since Doc unable to do so due to excessive panic, and he can't help but cry for the girl that softened his heart. By the time of the final scene, Grumpy is more open to show how his true, positive feelings to the ones he cares about, especially Snow White and Doc: when the princess is revealed to be still alive, he celebrates hugging Doc after getting into disagreements with him for most of the movie and wishing Snow White luck when they have to say goodbye.



* OnlySaneMan: Grumpy's response to Snow White suddenly becoming their disciplinarian is arguably the closest to reasonable

* FlatCharacter: Compared to the other Dwarfs, he has the least distinct characterization. After all, sneezing is less a personality trait and more just a bodily function.

While she’s very evil, however I believe The Evil Queen(Grimhilde) does not count as an Asshole Victim like other Disney villains such as Bill Sykes, Judge Claude Frollo, Shan Yu or Lyle Rourke.


* AssholeVictim: It's hard to feel sorry for her, even though her death was caused by a lightning strike that sent her plummeting to the bottom of a ravine.

* {{Expy}}: Walt intentionally sought out WesternAnimation/BettyBoop's designer, Creator/GrimNatwick, to help with Snow White's design and animation since she was meant to be a realistic human, a first for the studio at that time. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/disney/comments/61vng2/early_concept_designs_for_snow_white/ Earlier concept sketches]] bore heavy resemblance to Betty Boop, but as Walt wanted a more believable character, the Betty Boop-esque art style was scrapped in favour of the one in the final release.

* JerkAss: She has no qualms about murdering her own stepdaughter just for being prettier than she is, and she threatens to have her huntsman executed if he refuses. Even before Snow White surpassed her in beauty, she treated her less like family and more like a servant. She's also heavily implied to be a tyrant given the number of skeletons in her dungeon. Her jerk side becomes more openly apparent after her transformation, as she shows glee at the idea of Snow White being BuriedAlive and makes fun of the skeleton of one of her prisoners who had died of thirst in her dungeon.
