Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A novella published in 2013, Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M. Valente is a retelling of the classic fairy tale reimagined in the The Wild West. While examining the typical themes of relationships between mothers and daughters and beauty being a woman's power, the story also touches on issues of racism and the difficulties of being biracial, the domination of women by men, the domination of Native American cultures by whites, and digs deeper than most adaptations into the psychology of abuse.The story begins in the mid-1800s with a Mr. H traveling to Montana Territory shortly after making his fortune in silver. Looking to expand his business ventures he arrives in Billings where he meets a Crow woman called Gun That Sings. He is immediately smitten with her, and she is immediately horrified by his attraction. Though Gun That Sings tries to resist his advances and proposal of marriage, Mr. H has his way and takes his new Indian bride to California where they have a girl with hair black as coal, lips red as blood, but unfortunately her skin is not as white as his.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The girl grows up in solitude in her father's house, forbidden to leave the grounds. Her only friends are the animals in the zoo her father has built for her, and her gun, a revolver she calls Rose Red. Mr. H spoils his daughter with gifts, but never properly loves her, so it's still a lonely existence. Everything changes when Mr. H remarries. The new Mrs. H is a white woman from Boston who seeks to take her new half-breed stepdaughter under her wing and purify her by any means necessary.The girl knows from the start, though, that Mrs. H doesn't and can't mean her well when she never uses her name. Instead she renames her stepdaughter for something she is not and can never become: Snow White. | |

Fairest of Them All | |
| Six-Gun Snow White / int_1640de31 | comment |
Fairest of Them All: Played with. Mrs. H is extremely beautiful and she wants to stay that way. She also uses this term to tease Snow White about why the Crow won't want her. Not because she is pretty, but because her skin will be so obviously lighter than theirs. | |

UnreliableNarrator | |
| Six-Gun Snow White / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Addressed. There is a narration change where "Snow White stops speaking." The new, mysterious third-person narrator states that a person can tell true stories about other people, but not themselves. Hence Snow White can't be the narrator anymore. | |

Meaningful Name: Gun That Sings. Not necessarily because of what it says about her, but because of the significance that it will have to Snow White down the line. Snow White's favorite thing in the world is her gun. When she hears Mrs. H sing, she is immediately mesmerized because she has never heard a woman sing before. And what does Snow White want more than anything in life? A real mother. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Six-Gun Snow White / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Snow White is really messed up, and it all comes from how deeply she equally adores and hates and fears her stepmother. | |

Death by Childbirth | |
| Six-Gun Snow White / int_d29a6629 | comment |
Death by Childbirth: Gun That Sings dies soon after Snow White is born. Justified in that she already attempted suicide and the doctors only bothered to keep her alive long enough to get the baby. | |

Meaningful Rename | |
| Six-Gun Snow White / int_e6a901a3 | comment |
Meaningful Rename: We never find out what Snow White's birth name is, because even she doesn't remember it. So by calling her Snow White, Mrs. H not only erases her identity, but also starts building her new identity in a foundation that is painfully aware of being racially inferior. When Mr. H marries her, Gun That Sings signs her name as Sarah H. First because it's a more "civilized" name. But considering Sarah means princess and the royal status of the characters in the original fairy tale, it fits that a girl is renamed princess to marry a "kingly" fellow. | |

| Six-Gun Snow White / int_f1d2c779 | comment |
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Meaningfully averted. Mr. H wishes for a daughter with black hair and red lips, like Gun That Sings, but he also wants her to be white-skinned, like himself. Snow White comes out copper-skinned like her mother. | |

Dude, She's Like, in a Coma!: Snow White gets two kisses in her sleep. A man comes into her hollow in a mining community, looking to rape her. When he sees her beauty, though, he is overcome by more romantic notions. He still gets beaten for it. Deer Boy tries to wake her from her enchanted sleep by kissing her. | |

Ten Paces and Turn: When the dude finally catches up to Snow White, he plays cards with her. He draws highest, he shoots her on the spot. She draws highest, they duel it out like gentlemen. She palms an ace while the cutting of the deck and shoots him twice before he can even shoot once. | |
