The Other Seven Dwarfs

Project Blog It

Surly views the world as the primary source of personal torment. Rather than “whistle while he works,” Surly, in a nod to his increasingly anti-social tendencies, wishes he could WFH (work from home) permanently—so long as the other dwarfs stay down in the mine.

Sassy’s joy in life is to throw his attitude around in a mildly biting, but amusing way. Rather than selling all of the diamonds he digs from the mine, he’d rather set them into shiny pretty things to wear and catch peoples’ eyes. He was much happier before Snow White showed up and got all of the attention.

Sleazy was never more happy than when Snow White came along. Living for so long with six short men put him on edge. He spends most of his time finding excuses for climbing ladders to clean ceiling fans and change light bulbs just so he can get high enough to peak down Snow White’s blouse.

Snarky finds Snow White annoying and useless. With the other dwarfs constantly mooning over her, nothing seems to get done. He wonders why Snow White can’t at least clean the cottage and cook dinner rather than sing and dance with wildlife all day.

Sarcastic likes to comment on the “shortcomings” of the other dwarfs. None have been successful in winning over Snow White. You know what they say about small hands and feet. And Sarcastic believes Snow White clearly knows too.

Snarly is generally pissed off. He can’t understand why seven men with an unlimited supply of diamonds have to live together in a woodland cottage and perform manual labor every day. His dream is to live a life of leisure aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean with Snow White all to himself.

Superior is the shortest of the dwarfs, and yet he can’t help but look down upon them all. Snow White may be beautiful and charming, but Superior knows he can do better.
