In the original tale, she is the lost sister of the 7 bandits (not dwarfs).

    Like many oral traditions folk tales vary a lot. I would really be interested where the 7 bandits tale is from because in the Grimm variant it's 7 dwarves.

    There are several variants that use robbers/bandits instead of dwarfs, the earliest is probably from 'The Young Slave' recorded in 1634 in the Pentamerone. The Pentamerone also has one of the earliest versions of sleeping beauty called 'Sun, Moon, and Talia'. For those interested: Here is a pretty comprehensive list of the stories similar to Snow White.
