I agree with you on Snow Queen children. I feel like it happens all the time when someone does a child of a story that happens to have a Disney adaptation, they often look to the Disney version (The Little Mermaid and Aladdin are big offenders - in fact, until I made the community OC Bushra Badour I couldn't think of a single Aladdin OC on this wiki that wasn't based on Disney).

I guess I'm kinda guilty of making my OCs based on European stories white unless the characters are clearly POC (like Patypata in The Wonderful Sheep). Most of my OCs who are POC are based on non-European stories such as The Bones of Djulung, The Maiden with the Wooden Helmet, and The Sacred Milk of Koumongoe.

My favorite stories to use are ones that lack adaptations, either animated or live-action.
