Prince Florian is a human man.
Description[]
The crown prince of a kingdom in the Black Forest, Prince Florian grew up into a handsome young man, who travelled through the surrounding kingdoms, and he met and fell in love with a teenage princess named Snow White, who he briefly saw while she was slaving away in servant's rags at her cruel and jealous stepmother's castle.
After the disguised Queen Grimhilde put Snow White under the "sleeping death spell," Prince Florian, who had escaped the Queen's dungeons where the sorceress had trapped him, broke the spell by kissing Snow White, and taking her back with him to his castle.
The two furthered their romance — forged in fire through the attempts at vengeance of Queen Grimhilde's brother, Lord Maliss, and later of a not-so-dead Grimhilde herself — and were later blissfully married. They had a son, Glauco and an adopted son, Polly.
Behind the scenes[]
He first appeared in 1937 in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Though Florian's hair is clearly jet-black in the original film, it has steadfastly been colored as light, reddish brown in all other media, starting with the comic strip in 1937, a change reflected in the animated sequel "Happily Ever After" (though Filmation had its own reasons for not sticking too close to the established design besides). The reason for this is unknown. (His hair was also colored blond in some comics, such as the original printing of The Seven Dwarfs' Diamond Mine Job, but that is obviously just a random mistake.)
