Let's put it this way. The Snow Maiden and Snow White are completely different characters. The Snow Maiden is a tradition of making a sacrifice in honor of the death of the year. The Christmas tree wasn't originally decorated with ornaments and garlands either. And in guro style with organs and entrails. Snow White, on the other hand, is a more complex character. It is medieval urban folklore with inserts from biblical and Greek stories. (Moses and his cradle voyage)
