Seven Dwarfs Names and Personalities

It will be useful to get to know these famous characters more closely.

Dopey
Dopey can easily be recognized as he is completely bald and beardless. He is the youngest of the seven dwarfs and sometimes behaves childlike. He is the sweetest of the dwarfs and before leaving for the work in the mine he, the youngest dwarf, insists on stealing second and the third kiss from the Snow White. Dopey hasn't spoken a word yet, and Happy, comments that, Dopey never really tried to do so. In the animation movie, Disney attired Dopey in a lime green tunic, that is too large for his small body, and a purple cap.

Grumpy
"Angel, huh? She's female, an' all females is poison! They're full o' wicked wiles." These are the words uttered by the Grumpy, when the dwarfs find the Snow White asleep across their beds. He is a know it all person and tends to say, "No!" to anything new. This dwarf in red tunic, white hair and beard is tough and never gives up. His resistant and stubborn nature helps the dwarfs to come to the rescue of Snow White and get her out of the clutches of the wicked Queen.

Doc
Doc is the bossy rival of Grumpy and the natural leader of the seven dwarfs. If there is any course of action that needs to be deciding upon for the dwarfs to follow, it is usually Doc's responsibility. He is a person whose mind works faster than he can air his thoughts. When the Doc, who sports long white hair and beard, gets excited, his speech becomes slightly tangled up and the words seem to tumble over each other while getting out. This sound headed dwarf goes out of his way to convince the others to let the Snow White stay with them. The Disney attired him, in the movie, in a orange-brown tunic and glasses making it difficult to miss him.

Bashful
"She's beautiful, like an angel." Says Bashful, the dwarf, when rest of the dwarfs are suspicious on finding Snow White in their abode. He is shy and isn't above blushing, batting his eyelids and knotting his beard in presence of the Snow White. Bashful is depicted as a sentimental person who can look at his washed teacup and say, "The sugar is gone." His appearance is similar to Sneezy and Sleepy and only his purple tunic and magenta cap differentiate him, before the audience is really into the movie and know each of the dwarf.

Sleepy
Sleepy is the aptly named dwarf. Although, he is as hardworking as the rest of the dwarfs in the diamond mine, he never falters to maintain his relaxed working style. More than occasionally, he needs his 40 winks and any place is agreeable to him in doing so. Even though he is sleepy and yawning all the time, he has his wits with him all the time. Sleepy, the yellow-brown tunic wearing dwarf, is the one who makes sense out of what the forest animals are clamoring about and exclaims, "Maybe the old Queen's got Snow White."

Sneezy
There is no need to have any misunderstanding about Sneezy, because, although he has a finger ready under his nose to stifle a sneeze, he does not indulge in doing so all the time. He just cannot control it and it afflicts him and the rest just at the worst of the times. The rest of the dwarfs, whenever they can, help this yellow-brown tunic wearing dwarf, in controlling sneezing by tying his nose in a knot.

Happy
This dwarf is like some people who are happy all the time. Happy do not need to search for the happiness outside, it is part of his constitution to be happy about everything that comes his way. Happy is cheerful, even when the dwarfs happens on the Snow White who is sleeping in their house and mistakenly takes her for The Cleaning Monster who is guilty of cleaning their place. The only time he loses his composure, is when the Snow White bites into the Witch's apple and falls into a sleeping death.

The names are not, too, difficult to remember. Two of them starts with 'S' (Sleepy and Sneezy), another two with 'D'(Dopey and Doc) and the rest three are named after emotions (Happy, Grumpy and Bashful).
