31	* InformedAttractiveness: Her beauty is constantly commented upon, although much of it is allegedly in regards to her "inner beauty".
32	* InformedAttribute: Snow White is supposed to be so loving, compassionate and full of life that people fall in love with her only by looking at her. However, she never displays a greater amount of emotion or caring than several other characters of the film - and indeed, often shows ''less''.

46	* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: Whilst the film recognises Snow White as the Fairest of Them All, what defines her from Ravenna and what is ultimately more important is her inner beauty.
47	* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Played with in that the movie emphasizes that this a combination of both her inner and outer beauty.

83	!!Antagonists
84
85	[[folder:Queen Ravenna]]
86	->'''Played by:''' Creator/CharlizeTheron
87
88	* AdaptationalBadass: The original evil queen had magical powers too, but in this movie, she uses them to become a flock of crows and is also a [[DarkActionGirl physical fighter]] when required.
89	* AdaptationalSympathy: In the original fairytale, the evil queen doesn't get much motive for trying to kill her stepdaughter and consume her organs beyond the fact she's a cruel, jealous tyrant who can't stand anyone being prettier than her. In this film, Ravenna is given a backstory in which she was taken away from her mother by a cruel king and [[RapeAsBackstory forced to become his mistress]]; she also indicates she and her brother lived in poverty at some point "begging for scraps". Ravenna spent much of her life being used and abused by men, with her mother casting a spell upon her to give her everlasting youth and beauty as it was "the only thing that could save [her]", although she must still drain other people's lifeforce to maintain this eventually. The reason she wants to consume Snow White's heart is less from jealousy and more from the fact she would be eternally youthful and never have her power threatened again. Deep down Ravenna believes that without her beauty she is nothing, having apparently never grasped the concept of inner beauty thanks to her FreudianExcuse.
90	%%* AnimalMotifs: [[CreepyRavens Ravens.]]
91	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She mops the floor with Snow White in the final battle.
92	* BeautyIsBad: Very easy on the eyes due to her actress, but her personality makes it hard to ignore the loathsome monster she truly is deep inside.
93	* BigBad: In ''Snow White and the Huntsman''. She needs the titular female protagonist dead so she can become immortal.
94	* BlackWidow: She married the King and usurped his throne after killing him.
95	* DarkActionGirl: She ''kicks'' Snow White's ass for the most part in the movie's climax. She's just as formidable against the Huntsman's group in the sequel, though [[spoiler: when Freya turns on her]], the odds become a bit more even.
96	%%* DoesNotLikeMen%%Quotes aren't context. Describe the example.
97	%%-->'''Ravenna''': I was ruined by a king like you once. I replaced his queen, an old woman. And in time, I too would have been replaced. Men use women. They ruin us. And when they are finished with us, they toss us to the dogs like scraps.
98	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all her evilness, she does seem to care about her brother Finn, [[spoiler: and breaks down in tears at his death]]. She loves her mother and her sister Freya too (not that it stops her from [[spoiler: betraying the latter]]).
99	%%* EvilOverlord: She fits both parts of this pretty well.
100	%%* EvilSorcerer: Sorceress in this case.
101	%%* FairestOfThemAll: At least until Snow White comes of age.
102	* FauxAffablyEvil: Ravenna is polite and courteous towards Snow White when they first meet. It doesn't last long.
103	* FreudianExcuse: Her mother was murdered when she was just a child and she and her siblings were taken captive by an evil king, who is implied to have raped her. She and siblings also grew up in poverty. As a result, she hates men and believes that being beautiful and cruel is the only way to protect herself, and that the world deserves to be treated like crap.
104	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Started out as a simple peasant girl; ended up an incredibly powerful sorceress and queen.
105	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her endgame is to "give this wretched world the queen it deserves" and she does a pretty good job of terrorizing and oppressing people.
106	%%* HotWitch: Played by Charlize Theron.
107	* ImmortalityImmorality: She drains the beauty out of girls to maintain her own.
108	* LadyOfBlackMagic: She's an elegant and powerful sorceress of dark magic.
109	* LargeHam: She's easily one of the hammiest characters in the films.
110	* MagicKnight: Not only is she a powerful sorceress, she also has great skill in physical combat.
111	* MsFanservice: Ravenna has her breasts emphasized early on in the film in her wedding scene, and a couple of her dresses emphasize her back.
112	* PaperTiger: Her powers both magical and physical make her near impossible to combat, so much so that within their CurbstompBattle, [[spoiler: when Snow White finally manages to stab her, she cowers from her in a panic, unable to comprehend how she could have mortally wounded her.]]
113	* SorcerousOverlord: She's a powerful queen that utilizes both fear and magic to keep others in line.
114	* VillainousBreakdown:
115	** She suffers an epic one early in the movie after Snow White escapes the castle.
116	** [[spoiler:When Snow White finally manages to mortally wound her, she squirms from her in terror and disbelief]].
117	%%* WickedStepmother: To Snow White.
118	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:She murdered her own infant niece because she ''might'' grow up to be more beautiful than her twenty years down the road, threatening the source of her power.]]

121	[[folder:Finn]]
122	->'''Played by''': Creator/SamSpruell
123
124	%%* TheDragon: To his sister Ravenna.
125	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The closest thing he has to a redeeming trait is that he does care about his sister Ravenna.
126	* EvilGloating: He gloats to The Huntsman about [[spoiler: raping and killing Sara]]. Most likely he did it to demoralize the Huntsman but it had the opposite effect and gave the Huntsman his HeroicSecondWind.
127	%%* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: His ultimate fate]].
128	%%* SerialRapist: And proud of it.
129	%%* SmugSnake
130	* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Gets impaled against the splintered end of a tree trunk in the midst of taunting the Huntsman about murdering his wife, and spends his final moments meekly pleading for his sister to heal him.]]
131	* VillainBall: Most of Finn's failure rate (and a lot of Ravenna's downfall) is owed to his reckless sadism and inability to resist stopping to mock his prey. Ultimately doing this gets him killed by the Huntsman.
132	* WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: He taunts the Huntsman about raping and killing his wife, [[spoiler: right before his death]].
133	[[/folder]]

135	[[folder:Freya]]
136	->'''Played by''': Creator/EmilyBlunt
137
138	* AntiVillain: Due to her tragic background and her child's death.
139	* BigBad: In ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar''. Her search for the magical mirror to resurrect Ravenna drives the plot.
140	* FisherKing: After becoming the Snow Queen, she used her magic to convert the lands of the North into a frozen wasteland. [[spoiler: After her death, the land is restored to its original state.]]
141	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is more sympathetic than her sister mind you, but she used her powers to keep her domain in perpetual winter and had young children captured to be trained as her warriors.
142	* AnIcePerson: She manipulates cold and ice, being able to summon eternal winter over the Northern lands.
143	* IcyBlueEyes: She has these, which go along well with her ice-based theme.
144	* LargeHam: Emily Blunt is clearly having fun chewing up the entire film.
145	* MamaBear: She turns on Ravenna the moment she harms her 'children'. [[spoiler:It costs her her life]].
146	* MeaningfulName: She shares the same name as [[Myth/NorseMythology Freyja]], the Norse goddess of love, beauty and sorcery.
147	%%* MysticalWhiteHair: Comes with being AnIcePerson.
148	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:She dies protecting her Huntsmen from Ravenna]].
149	* RememberTheNewGirl: Freya is Ravenna's younger sister and the one who raised Eric the Huntsman and trained him to become a badass, and yet she was never mentioned in the previous movie.
150	* TragicVillain: While her actions were indeed atrocious, they stemmed from heartbreak after the loss of her child, and wanting to keep her 'children' from suffering the same loss.
151	* WinterRoyalLady: She's an ice-themed magical queen.
