How to unlock Snow White in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Players can unlock Snow White as the first character in the Wishblossom Ranch DLC of Dreamlight Valley by presenting her with a train ticket to start the "A Wishful Invitation" quest, which leads to acquiring the first horse. After completing this quest, players can begin the "Tales of a Broken Heart" quest by following Snow White to the Wishbloom Heart cave, where they must clear red crystals blocking the entrance and eliminate three crystals around the Wishblossom Flower to witness its blooming and release Tinkerbell. Players then need to collect pixie dust by destroying ten dead Wishblossoms throughout the cave. Upon returning to Snow White, she rewards players with a Horse Brush and emphasizes the importance of the bond with their horse for restoring the ranch. Players then consult Scrooge McDuck for plans to build Snow White a new cottage, which costs 2500 Star Coins. Finally, to complete the quest and officially add Snow White as a villager, players must relocate her house to the main valley.
