The Prince
Jul. 6th, 2013 02:32 amI would first like to state that I take Frederick's personality from Disney merchandise such as books and shorts and word-of-mouth of Disney creators.
Frederick is kind, he is thoughtful, he is sweet, he is bashful, he is adventurous and he's a kid. Like Snow White, he believes in love and the wonders it can do, and is so in love with Snow White that it's safe to say that he'd follow her to the ends of the earth. He already defers to her in matters of state and castle, letting her run the castle, bring her dwarf friends over, and participate in games and activities of the like that Snow White plays. That's why it's important to remember that he's still a kid. He is very innocent, very idealistic, but he's still prone to bashfulness and fluster, but never bluster. Frederick isn't someone to get mad easily. Even so, he doesn't really get mad, so much as he gets bothered and tries to do what's best, and if his feelings aren't in consideration for the greater scheme of things then it doesn't matter, because it's good for everyone, so he can stay to the side and wait it out. Although it's rarely happened.
Frederick is very sensible. He's open to discussion, to lecture, and so long as it isn't malicious, he can handle things with the grace and poise that is afforded by his station as prince. He's very sacrificial, willing to give arm and leg for his people and especially for his beloved Snow White and her dwarf friends (he's also very respectful of Snow White, though her dwarf friends often give him a dirty look if he's acting a little too cocky, which happens!) If someone has a problem with him, Frederick genuinely wants to solve that problem, although he accepts that not everyone likes him, and that's fine, because they have that right, and if they were forced to like him, well, that wouldn't be very fair, now would it?
He isn't a hothead. He's very clear-minded and able to hold his tone at a level that doesn't invite aggravation or spite. It's wrong to hate blindly, and it's wrong to let something bad happen, but he won't shout and scream senselessly. Even where Snow is concerned, Frederick keeps a cool tone and a level head, putting all the efforts possible in understanding her, or if she's in danger, he'll go through hell, hell, hell again and back all over to get her back in safety's hold and out of harm's way. He doesn't even argue with her. When he has a concern, he voices it calmly and with concern for Snow White, wanting to address the issue so that the motions can continue and he and she can remain ever so happy.
Happiness of others is paramount to Frederick. In where he is still a kid (just as Snow White is a kid as well) he enjoys playing games and silly, male bravado. Games such as surprising Snow White with a picnic after giving her a good fright (and believe you, me -- he got hell for that stunt) and riding horses alongside Snow White through the land, exploring the kingdom that he and Snow White will one day rule side by side. Frederick knows that Snow White's childhood wasn't actually pristine, as she was abused by her stepmother, and wants to fill her days with smiles and fun, to show her what it's really like to go out and enjoy life to the fullest.
True and true, Frederick is a romantic. He would have to be, to disregard royal protocol and want to be with Snow White (though a princess, he saw her first as a lowly servant to the Queen, and yet he still wanted to be with her) despite all odds. He definitely believes in true love, and that good will always conquer evil.
