In a faraway kingdom, where the mountains kissed the sky, lived a young maiden named Ariana. Her beauty was unparalleled, with skin as pure as freshly fallen snow and eyes that sparkled like the finest diamonds. However, her gentle nature and kind heart were the true treasures that captivated all who crossed her path.

Ariana's stepmother, the Queen, was a woman of vanity and darkness. Consumed by jealousy, she consulted her magic mirror daily, demanding to know who was the fairest in the land. When the mirror proclaimed Ariana's unmatched beauty, the Queen's heart filled with rage, and she vowed to rid the kingdom of her stepdaughter's radiance.

Summoning her most trusted huntsman, the Queen ordered him to take Ariana deep into the enchanted forest and end her life. But the huntsman, moved by the girl's pure soul, could not bring himself to harm her. Instead, he tearfully confessed the Queen's wicked plan and urged Ariana to flee and seek refuge.

Alone and afraid, Ariana wandered the forest, her only companions the gentle woodland creatures. Exhausted, she stumbled upon a cozy cottage, where she found refuge and solace with the seven dwarves who lived there. In this safe haven, Ariana's heart began to heal, and she found joy in the simple pleasures of life.

However, the Queen's thirst for power and beauty knew no bounds. Disguising herself as a kind old woman, she sought out Ariana and presented her with a cursed apple, promising that it would make her the fairest of all. Unknowing of the true nature of the fruit, Ariana took a bite and fell into a deep, enchanted slumber.

The dwarves, upon discovering Ariana's lifeless form, were overcome with grief. But a glimmer of hope remained, for they knew that only true love's kiss could break the curse. And so they placed Ariana in a glass coffin, awaiting the day when her one true love would arrive to save her.
