  • Snow White from "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs" is not the same person as Snow White from "Snow White and Rose Red", even though both tales are found together in The Brothers Grimm fairytales.
    • Though in the German original their names are Schneewittchen and Schneeweisschen respectively.
  • Not to mention the various Jacks, Hans, Hansel, Gretel, Cinderellas, Bad Wolves, and so on.
    • And Princes Charming.
  • In Hungary, "Aranyhaj" (meaning Golden-Hair) can be Rapunzel, Goldilocks, and various local heroines.
    • The Russian equivalent "Zlatokosa" is a similar case, too.
    • Goldilocks herself is an example in English. Most translations of "La Belle aux cheveux d'or" name the heroine Goldilocks, and there is also the British Goldilocks (the one with the three bears.)
