Kristen Stewart puts her inner action star on full display as the butt-kicking Snow White in "Snow White and the Huntsman." But, it's her vulnerability that Stewart related to most with the chainmail-wearing princess.

"I think that I related to Snowy because ... I love her," she laughed to MTV News during "MTV First: Snow White and the Hunstman" on Tuesday night. "She feels such strong things and sort of can't say exactly why she feels those things ... and I can completely relate to that and I also can relate to feeling arrogant about it a little bit. Sort of like 'It's not about being who you are; it's sort of not saying what everyone thinks I'm going to say because I'm uncomfortable' ... She's like very instinctive and sort of awesome in that way."

Having already brought to life one literary heroine playing "Twilight" leading lady Bella Swan, she explained that she didn't feel pressure to have to tackle Snow White, mostly because there was enough room for her to interrupt the character the way she felt was natural.

"I mean she's such a child in the beginning and has such a strong sense of self in a way that sort of isn't normal, like supernaturally almost," she said. "She's got this connection to the Earth and to her people that makes her like so truly empathetic and not sympathetic.

"She's not putting herself in a position and going, 'Oh, how horrible would that be for me.' She's truly bleeding for other people," she said. "It's a different feeling. It's something I want to get to if I can be a better person. She's a great girl. She's a good person."

"Snow White and the Huntsman," which also stars Charlize Theron (who plays the evil queen Ravenna), Chris Hemsworth (The Huntsman) and Sam Claflin (the charming Prince William), hits theaters June 1.
