Имало едно време „Имало едно време“ (на английски: Once Upon a Time) е американски приказен драматичен сериал, който дебютира на 23 октомври 2011 г. по ABC. На 10 май 2013 г. ABC подновява сериала за трети сезон и одобрява спиноф сериал, озаглавен „Имало едно време в Страната на чудесата“.[1] Третият сезон на оригинала започва на 29 септември. Съдържание Сюжет[редактиране | edit source] На сватбата на Снежанка и Чаровния принц, Злата кралица идва и ги заплашва с могъщо проклятие, което тя възнамерява да използва. По-късно бременната Снежанка отива при Румпелщилтсхен за съвет и той ѝ казва, че проклятието ще се сбъдне и няма да има повече щастливи краища, освен за Кралицата. Разкрива й също, че все още неродената Ема ще се върне на двадесет и осмата си година, за да ги спаси, започвайки кулминационната битка с Кралицата. Джепето и Пинокио изработват гардероб от магьосническо дърво, което позволява избягването на проклятието. В деня на раждането на дъщерята на Снежанка, проклятието на Кралицата се задейства. Принцът оставя дъщеря си в гардероба, но е смъртно ранен. Кралицата триумфира над Снежанка и Принца, докато отнася кралството "на ужасно място". В наши дни, Ема Суон среща десетгодишно момче, Хенри, което казва, че е синът, който е изоставила при раждането. Ема го връща обратно в дома му в Сторибрук. По пътя Хенри и показва голяма книга с приказки, настоявайки, че всички приказки са истина. Когато пристигат в Сторибрук, Хенри й казва, че всики в града са герои от приказки, но не го знаят и за тях времето е спряло. Казва й, че никой не може да напусне и че проклятието ще бъде свалено от Ема. Тя връща Хенри при мащехата му, която всъщност е Злата Кралица. По-късно тя решава да остане в Сторибрук, а същевременно стрелките на часовниковата кула в града, най-после започват да се движат.

List of Once Upon a Time characters The characters of Once Upon a Time, an ongoing 2011 American fairytale/drama series created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, are classic fairy tale characters from the Enchanted Forest who are cursed to remain trapped by time in Storybrooke, Maine. They are forced to live forever without happy endings, and most of them cannot remember their true identites. The series revolves around lonely bail bond agent Emma Swan who is reunited with Henry Mills, the son she gave up for adoption ten years before. Not wanting a relationship with him, Emma drives him home to Storybrooke. On the way, he tells her that all of the stories in his large book of fairy tales are real: everyone in Storybrooke are characters from the book and are cursed by the Evil Queen and that as the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming Emma is the only one who can release them. She returns Henry to his adoptive mother Regina Mills, the town's mayor and the Evil Queen. Regina's antagonistic attitude causes Emma to become suspicious of her and she moves into town. Inadvertently, she starts breaking the curse. The rest of the cast are Storybrooke citizens whose true fairy tale identities are revealed through flashbacks to events in the Enchanted Forest: Mary Margaret Blanchard, Henry's teacher and truly Snow White; David Nolan, who wakes up from his coma to find that his false memories of his wife Kathryn Nolan conflict the feelings he as Prince Charming has for Snow White; Mr. Gold, the town's wealthiest and most feared resident, reflecting his identity as Rumplestiltskin; Archie Hopper, Jiminy Cricket living as the town's psychotherapist; Sheriff Graham, the huntsman sent out to kill Snow White; August Booth, a deathly ill writer who needs magic to recover and the first stranger in town after Emma; and many other fairy tale characters, including two characters that would later become part of the ongoing storylines, Belle, the love interest of Mr. Gold, and Ruby, the waitress whose past is that of Red Riding Hood and her alter ego, the Wolf. [edit] Primary characters [edit] Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin, Bailee Madison as a young Snow White), Snow for short, is the daughter of King Leopold and the stepdaughter of the Evil Queen Regina.[1][2] When she is a little girl, Regina rescues her from a runaway horse. As a result, Leopold wants to marry Regina and provide Snow with a mother as her real mother has recently died. However, Snow discovers that Regina loves the stable boy, Daniel, and innocently reveals this to Regina's evil mother Cora. Unfortunately, this leads to Daniel's death.[3] Regina wants Snow dead for revealing this secret and preventing her from having true love as she was forced to marry King Leopold instead. Years later, after the King's murder, the Huntsman is enlisted by the Queen to kill Snow, but he spares her for her selflessness.[4] She continues living in the forest, stealing from the nobles of the Queen's domain in the hopes of collecting enough money to move out of the realm. She meets Prince James while robbing him, and she nicknames him Prince Charming when he captures her to regain his stolen engagement ring, which she already sold. The pair fall in love on their journey to buy back the jewels, but he returns to his fiancée.[5] Realizing she and James can never be together, she receives from Rumplestiltskin a potion that will erase all her memories of James. Shortly after, she gets a letter from James telling her to meet him at the castle if she loves him so they can run away before he is married. She goes to meet him, but his "father" King George catches her in the castle and forces her to tell James that she does not love him. She then goes to live with the seven dwarves. James breaks off his engagement, but she drinks the potion shortly before the news reaches her.[6] The potion changes her into a mean-spirited and cruel person, and she realizes that her anger stems from the death of her father. She tries to kill Regina, the person responsible for her father's murder, but James takes the arrow meant for the Queen. He tells her that he would rather die than let Snow become evil, and she realizes that no one else is willing to die for her. She kisses him and regains her memory. However, the pair are again separated when George's knights capture James. She and the dwarves then set out to rescue James.[7] She learns that the Queen has taken James captive and agrees to meet her. In exchange for James' life, Snow willingly eats a cursed apple that puts her into a death-like sleep.[8] Some time later, James kisses her and brings her back to life. They are married, but the Queen arrives at the wedding and announces that she will place a curse on everyone to destroy Snow's happiness. Snow is soon pregnant and gives birth to Emma just as the curse begins to take hold.[2] In Storybrooke, she is Mary Margaret Blanchard. She is Henry's favorite teacher, and she gives Henry his book of fairy tales to instill him with hope.[2] She also invites Emma to live with her upon realizing that Emma was thrown out of the Bed & Breakfast. Mary Margaret volunteers at the hospital and reads the Snow White and Prince Charming tale to the comatose David Nolan, who is really James. He wakes up and the pair fall in love, despite David's marriage to Kathryn.[5] Mary Margaret resigns from the hospital because of the heartache she feels from being around David and tries to start a relationship with Dr. Whale.[9] However, she develops stalker-like behavior: she knows David's daily schedule and tries to be where he is. She finally tries to avoid David, but she and David find they cannot stay away from each other and begin a secret relationship.[6] After the affair becomes public and David's marriage breaks down, Mary Margaret is labeled a tramp and becomes an outcast.[10] However, some of the residents reach out to her after she sells candles to help the local nunnery pay its rent.[11] She is arrested for Kathryn's apparent murder after Mary Margaret's fingerprints are found on a box containing a human heart shortly after Kathryn disappears.[12] The box is later found to be Mary Margaret's and the heart is proven to be Kathryn's. Emma believes that Mary Margaret is being framed and asks her to wait and to trust Emma until she can be proven innocent. However, Mary Margaret finds one of Regina's skeleton keys in her cell. At the end of "Heart of Darkness", her jail cell is shown to be empty.[7] It is later revealed that she escaped her cell but was captured and held captive by Jefferson. She is found by Emma, and the pair are eventually able to escape when Mary Margaret kicks him out a window. After, Mary Margaret willingly returns to her jail cell to face her trial.[13] When Kathryn reappears, Mary Margaret is released. However, her relationship with David becomes strained as David did not believe she was innocent.[14] David eventually decides to leave Storybrooke when Mary Margaret does not give him a reason to stay. They are reunited when the curse is broken, and they regain their memories.[15] [edit] Emma Swan Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is a bail bond agent and bounty hunter. She is also the long-lost daughter of Snow White and Prince James. As an infant, she and seven-year-old Pinocchio were both sent to Storybrooke in a special cabinet that Geppetto made from a magic tree. August told everyone he found Emma by the road, and they were both put in an orphanage, where she ended up in the foster care system.[16] Her negative experience in the system and her apparent abandonment have caused her to resent her biological parents; despite this, she keeps a folder of news articles about herself and has kept her baby blanket in the hopes that she will one day find her parents. At eighteen, Emma became pregnant. Soon afterward, she ran into legal trouble and gave birth to her son in jail; she gave him up for a closed adoption to "give him his best chance."[2][17] On her twenty-eighth birthday, she wishes that she did not have to be alone on her birthday and is immediately reunited with her son Henry Mills. He explains that she is actually the daughter of Snow and Prince James ("Charming") and that she is the only one who can free her parents and the rest of Storybrooke from the curse. Refusing to start a relationship with him, she returns him home to his adoptive mother Regina Mills in Storybrooke and intends to leave him there, but Regina's repeated warnings to leave town and keep away from Henry have made Emma suspicious of Regina, and Emma decides to stay.[2] She eventually learns that Regina is not the best parent for Henry and decides that she wants to be part of Henry's life.[18] However, Regina eventually forbids Emma from seeing Henry unless Regina allows it.[1] Emma's decision to remain in Storybrooke begins a series of changes in the town and its residents and puts her constantly at odds with Regina.[17][18] Emma states that she wants Henry to let go of his theories about the curse as she believes that the idea is "crazy." However, she later accepts the fact that Henry will not give it up though she remains skeptical about the curse actually existing.[19] Emma eventually starts living with Mary Margaret, who Henry believes is Snow White.[18] Despite Regina's protests, Sheriff Graham appoints Emma his deputy because of her experience with law enforcement.[5][20] It becomes clear to the town that the pair are attracted to one another; however, Emma feels betrayed when she learns about his sexual relationship with Regina. Desperate, Graham kisses her, triggering memories of his true identity. He leaves Regina soon after and begins a relationship with Emma. However, he dies in Emma's arms shortly after.[4] Two weeks later, she becomes sheriff after winning the election, but she is disturbed to find that her "benefactor" Mr. Gold manipulated the residents' fear of him to help her win so that she is in a better position to repay the favor she owes him.[21] She is later forced to arrest Mary Margaret for Kathryn Nolan's alleged murder. Evidence proves that Mary Margaret is the murderer, but Emma believes that Regina framed her, despite the lack of proof. She tells Mr. Gold that she is willing to go further than it takes to find evidence against Regina, suddenly becoming, in Mr. Gold's words, a "woman of faith."[7] Mary Margaret disappears soon after, and Emma goes looking for her. In the search, she is abducted by Jefferson. He orders her to make him a magical hat so that he can return home: something only she can do as she brought magic to Storybrooke. She tries to convince him the curse and magic are not real, but he is frustrated that she chooses not to believe Henry. She and Mary Margaret are eventually able to escape by pushing him out of a window. After, Emma convinces Mary Margaret to return to her cell and face her trial. Soon after, Emma sees Jefferson's daughter, from whom he claimed to be separated for twenty-eight years, and asks Henry to borrow his book. When she sees that the illustrations of the Mad Hatter and his daughter are identical to Jefferson and his, she begins to wonder if the curse is real.[13] In the end, she refuses to believe the curse, though August brings her to the tree he found her in, tells her he is Pinocchio and shows her that he is slowly turning back into wood. Her denial is so strong that she sees it as a normal leg. She insists that she cannot handle the responsibility of being a savior. Later, Emma asks Henry if he wants to live with her. He replies "more than anything," and she tells him that they are leaving Storybrooke.[16] However, he stops her from doing this to force her to fulfill her destiny and break the curse. Emma eventually decides to stay in Henry's life, visiting when she can, but also decides to leave Storybrooke. After telling Regina, she receives an apple turnover, which is made from a cursed apple. Before she can eat it, Henry eats it to protect her and falls unconscious.[8] As Henry is admitted into the hospital, she begins to finally believe in the curse, realizes the truth and accepts her destiny as the Savior of all fairytale characters. To save Henry, she and Regina collaborate and ask Mr. Gold for help. He tells them that Henry can only be saved with true love, a bottle of which is hidden in the dragon Maleficent. Emma defeats Maleficent with her father's sword and retrieves the bottle as she is the daughter of Prince Charming and Snow White, but Gold tricks her into giving it to him. Emma learns that Henry is about to die and returns to the hospital. However, he dies before she gets to him. She tells him that she believes and that she loves him, and she kisses him. The kiss wakes Henry up and breaks the curse, allowing all residents to remember their true identities. However, the residents of Storybrooke do not return to the Enchanted Forest. In addition, a magical cloud of smoke engulfs the town.[15] [edit] The Evil Queen/Regina Mills The Evil Queen Regina (Lana Parrilla) is the second wife of King Leopold, whom she does not love, and the step-mother of Snow White.[1] Originally, she was the exact opposite of who she is now, and fell in love with a stable boy named Daniel (Noah Bean). However, when Snow White was little, Regina's mother Cora caused her horse to go wayward, leading to her being saved by Regina. King Leopold wanted to marry her as thanks and to give his daughter a mother. Resolving to run away with Daniel, Regina made Snow promise not to tell her mother, but Snow is tricked into telling the secret by Regina's mother, thus leading to Cora killing Daniel and Regina being forced to marry Snow's father.[3] From then on, Regina vowed to destroy Snow's happiness to avenge Daniel.[4] She kills the king by taking advantage of the love the Genie holds for her.[1] This enacts the first part of her plan and makes her ruler of Leopold's realm.[4] She then contrives ways to kill Snow — first by enlisting the Huntsman's help. However, the Huntsman is unable to kill her, and Regina punishes him by tearing out his heart and making him her slave. She then accuses Snow of treason and places a bounty on her head and eventually puts her into a death-like sleep with a cursed apple.[2][4][5][8] However, Snow is awakened and she and Prince James are happily married. On the day of the wedding, Regina vows to cast a curse on all of the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest and take away all of their happiness so that she is the only one who is happy.[2] She previously traded this curse to Maleficent in exchange for the sleeping curse. However, she forcibly retrieves it from her only friend when negotiations go sour. She has difficulty enacting it and goes to see its creator, Rumplestiltskin, for advice.[14][18] In exchange for the info she desires, he asks that she give him a place of comfort and respect in the "new world" the curse will send them to and that she must do anything he asks when he utters "please." Agreeing, Regina learns she must use the heart of "the thing [she] love[s] most." She understands this to be her father Henry; with reluctance, she cuts his heart out and enacts the curse.[18] Shortly after, she travels to Snow's castle where she triumphantly exclaims to Snow White and Prince Charming that the curse is taking them "somewhere truly horrible."[2] Her desire to "win for once" fuels her endless quest for revenge.[8] In Storybrooke, she is Mayor Regina Mills.[2] With Mr. Gold's help, she adopts Henry Mills as a baby, unbeknowst to her at first that he is really the grandson of Snow White and Prince Charming.[2][18] However, her relationship with Henry is strained: he prefers the company of his birth mother Emma Swan, he constantly rebels, and he constantly lies to her to spend time with Emma.[2][5][18] Because of this and after discovering who Emma really was, Regina is antagonistic toward her and is determined to keep Emma away from Henry, even going as far as to forbid Emma from seeing him without her permission and threatening to file a restraining order against Emma.[1][2][18] Regina is also determined to convince Henry that his theory about the curse and the true identities of the Storybrooke residents is false, and she starts him on regular sessions with therapist Archie Hopper.[18] When Archie's methods are too slow, Regina tries to force Archie to tell Henry that his idea is crazy; however, Archie refuses and threatens to declare her an unfit mother if she continues to meddle in his sessions with Henry.[20] She has a sexual relationship with Graham, really the Huntsman, but he eventually breaks up with her. Out of jealousy, she crushes his heart and kills him, revealing that she remembers her identity as the Evil Queen.[4] Regina manipulates Emma's trust of Sidney Glass to keep an eye on Emma's activities.[1] She also tries to prevent the relationship between David Nolan and Mary Margaret Blanchard, really Prince James and Snow White, by reuniting David and his wife Kathryn, as well as using David's and Mary Margaret's affair to discredit Mary Margaret after the Nolans' marriage falls apart, and stealing Kathryn's letter stating that she never loved David and that she is allowing him to be with Mary Margaret.[5][10] The power struggle between Regina and Rumplestiltskin continues in Storybrooke. Regina is constantly at odds with Mr. Gold.[21][22][23] He helps Emma run against the Regina-backed Sidney, and he has become more feared by the residents than Regina has become.[21] He eventually reveals to her that he knows he is Rumplestiltskin. However, she is holding Belle, his true love, captive underneath the Storybrooke Hospital.[23] Despite their rivalry, Regina makes another deal with him to ensure Mary Margaret's defeat. She leaves a key in Mary Margaret's cell as he assured her that Mary Margaret would use it to escape. She becomes angry with him when she learns that Mary Margaret did as he predicted but returned to her cell after.[13] Regina is further upset when she discovers that Gold never killed Kathryn but returns her alive. She convinces Sidney to claim to have been the one to frame Mary Margaret but Emma tells Regina she knows the truth and declares her intentions to get Henry back.[14] During a confrontation at the school yard, Mary Margaret tells Regina she feels sorry for the other woman going out of her way to hurt others. Henry then tells Regina he knows she was the one trying to get Mary Margaret and it will not change anything as Snow and Charming will be together in the end.[16] When Mr. Gold suggests that she may need to give up Henry to keep the curse in full strength, she replies that she simply needs to get rid of Emma. Gold declines to help her any further, so she asks Jefferson for help. She gives up the last bit of her magic so that Jefferson can use his hat to retrieve her cursed apple from the Enchanted Forest. She makes this apple into a turnover and when Emma visits her and offers to leave Storybrooke as long as Regina allows her to see Henry, she agrees to the arrangement and gives Emma the turnover as a gift for the road. When Gold deduces her plan, he reminds her that all magic comes with a price.[8] When Henry eats the turnover and is hospitalized, Regina helps Emma retrieve a bottle of true love to break his curse. However, Mr. Gold tricks Emma into giving the bottle to him. Emma kisses Henry, waking him up and breaking the curse on Storybrooke. As the other characters threaten that Regina should leave as soon as possible, Regina tells Henry that she always loved him and returns home in tears. However, she smiles when she sees a magical cloud of smoke engulfing the town.[15] - Notes: The name "Regina" actually means "queen", in Italian. [edit] Prince Charming/David Nolan Prince "Charming" James (Josh Dallas) is a poor shepherd whose twin brother was given to King George as an heir in a deal with Rumplestiltskin. The real Prince James is killed in battle shortly after agreeing to kill a dragon for King Midas in exchange for gold, and the shepherd takes his brother's place in exchange for the prosperity of his mother's farm and the promises that he can return home afterward. He takes his brother's name and unexpectedly slays the dragon himself. Midas then declares James worthy to marry his daughter Abigail and unite the kingdoms, unaware that neither the real James nor his replacement is of royal blood. James, wanting to marry for love, tries to decline, but George reneges on his promise and vows to kill James's mother if he does not marry. James reluctantly agrees. He visits his mother to say goodbye and receives her wedding ring, which she claims is followed by true love.[9] The ring is stolen and sold by Snow White, who nicknames him "Prince Charming". The pair fall in love while trying to retrieve it.[5] He writes a letter to Snow saying that if she loves him, visit the castle before his wedding, and they will run away and be happy. She comes, but George catches her. He forces her to tell James that she does not love him or he will kill James, martyring him, and hopefully uniting the kingdoms out of Midas's pity for George. She complies, but James still attempts to secretly flee his wedding.[6] Abigail reveals that she knows he does not want to marry her and tells him that she does not want to marry him either; she gives him provisions for his journey. He is later seen fleeing King George's knights on his search for Snow.[10] When he finds Snow, he learns that she cannot remember who he is. To prevent her from killing the Evil Queen, he takes the arrow meant for the Queen and tells Snow he would rather die than let her become evil. She realizes that no one else will die for her; she kisses him and regains her memories. However, the pair are separated again when George's knights capture him.[7] He is set to be beheaded, but is rescued by the Queen. She takes him captive and uses him to convince Snow to willing eat a cursed apple that put her into a death-like sleep.[8] Some time after, he awakens Snow from her enchanted sleep and the pair marry. At their wedding, the Queen announces that she will cast a curse on the Enchanted Forest and take away all they love. James and Snow seek advice from Rumplestiltskin, who tells them that Emma, the daughter they are expecting, will break the curse. Emma is born shortly before the curse takes hold, and James places her in a magical wardrobe to protect her from the curse. However, he is seriously wounded by the Queen's knights in the process.[2] In Storybrooke, he first appears as the comatose John Doe, who has gone unidentified for years.[2] He wakes up after Mary Margaret, who is Snow White, reads him the story of Snow White and Prince Charming. Shortly after, he is reunited with his wife Kathryn Nolan, who is Abigail, and is identified as David Nolan. It is revealed that he and his wife were separated after he left the house after an argument and, unknown to Kathryn, fell into a coma.[5] However, David suffers from amnesia and cannot remember his life with Kathryn. Although he cannot remember his life in Storybrooke either, he falls in love with Mary Margaret and decides to leave Kathryn for her. However, his false memories of his marriage begin to return and he decides to work things out with Kathryn instead.[9] He eventually gives in to his attraction to Mary Margaret and begins having an affair with her.[6] Kathryn is later accepted to a law school in Boston, but he tells her that he cannot come with her and suggests they end their marriage. Kathryn learns about the affair, but realizes there was never any love in the marriage. She decides to go to Boston alone. She writes David a letter telling him that she wants David and Mary Margaret to be happy together and that she forgives them both. However, Regina steals the letter from the Nolans' home and burns it before he can read it. Kathryn disappears shortly after.[10] David becomes a suspect in her disappearance, namely because of a phone call he made to her immediately before she went missing and because he starts exhibiting strange trance-like behavior during which he cannot recall his actions. However, the suspicion is dropped when Mary Margaret's fingerprints are found on a box containing a human heart thought to be Kathryn's.[12] In an attempt to prove Mary Margaret's innocence, he asks Archie Hopper to help him regain his memories of the black-outs. However, he recalls some of his memories of the Enchanted Forest, namely when he was telling Snow not to kill the Queen. He confuses these for more recent memories and believes he is telling Mary Margaret to not kill Kathryn. He starts to doubt her innocence.[7] When Kathryn turns up alive, David sees her at the hospital and Kathryn says she is no longer angry at David as she is the first to realize that he and Mary Margaret belong together. The two break up on good terms. However, Mary Margaret is upset over David doubting her innocence and refuses to speak to him.[14] David decides to move to Boston and asks Mary Margaret to give him a reason to stay in Storybrooke. However, she does not. As he approaches the town limits, the curse is broken and he regains his memories. He returns to town and reunites with Snow White.[15] [edit] Pinocchio/August Wayne Booth Pinocchio (Eion Bailey, Jakob Davies as a young Pinocchio) is a puppet Geppetto carved from an enchanted tree. As a little boy puppet, he gives his life to save Geppetto from drowning in a storm. As a reward, the Blue Fairy turns Pinocchio into a real boy, promising that the spell will hold so long as he is selfless and good. However, the boy remained mischievous, though he means no harm. The Blue Fairy asks Geppetto to carve another enchanted tree into a magical wardrobe with the ability to save two people, the pregnant Snow White and Prince James, from the Evil Queen's curse. However, the curse will send everyone else to a land without magic and Pinocchio, who is a real boy because of magic, may turn back into a puppet. Geppetto bargains with the Blue Fairy to use the second spot for Pinocchio instead, and the Blue Fairy lies to the others and says that the wardrobe can only save one. However, Snow White gives birth to Emma. Instead of giving up Pinocchio's spot to Snow as the Blue Fairy asks, Geppetto sends his son ahead and asks him to protect the child and get her to believe when the time is right. After emerging in the real world, Pinocchio and the infant Emma are taken to an orphanage. However, he leaves Emma to run away as the man taking care of them was cruel.[16] August Wayne Booth (Eion Bailey), previously known as The Stranger,[24] is a mysterious young man visiting Storybrooke. He first appears at the end of "True North" after Henry Mills states that no one ever comes to Storybrooke and Emma is the first stranger there. Shortly after, he rides into town on his motorcycle and asks Henry and Emma for directions to a place to stay, but never names himself.[17] He also carries everywhere a large wooden box whose contents are unknown until Emma confronts him at the diner and he tells her that he will show her what is in the wooden box if she agrees to let him buy her a drink sometime. She agrees, and he shows her that the box contains a typewriter and he tells her that he is a writer.[6] Later, he is revealed to have possession of Henry's storybook, which was hidden then lost.[1] He finally names himself when he tries to take Emma out for the drink she promised him, but she refuses to let him because she believes a man who will not tell her his name is probably hiding other things. He is later seen working with the storybook in a dark room: applying chemicals to the pages and reassembling the book. He plants it by Emma's car to make it look like it washed away in a storm; she finds it and returns the book to Henry.[10] He later tells Henry that he believes in the curse and wants to convince Emma that it is real.[7] He later tries to control Mr. Gold, who is Rumplestiltskin. August reveals that he is deathly ill and needs magic to get better, so he tried to help Emma bring magic to Storybrooke. However, he believes that Emma will be too late to save him. Gold points out that not even he can help August as there is no magic in Storybrooke and leaves August to find a different way.[14] His illness turns out to be that he is turning back into wood because he broke his promise to Geppetto. Desperate, he conspires with Gold to force Emma to ask August for help to beat Regina. When she does, August takes her out of Storybrooke to tell her his story. He reveals that he is the seven-year-old boy who found the infant Emma. He says he was across the world when Emma decided to stay in Storybrooke and his leg began to feel pain as time began to move forward again. He tries to prove the curse's existence by showing his now-wooden leg but Emma's denial is so strong that she does not see it as wood. Afterward, he goes to see Marco, who is his father Geppetto, and tells him that he failed his father and though he tried to keep his promise, he tried too late. Marco says that if he had a son, that would be enough. August offers to work as Marco's assistant though he cannot be paid, stating that he simply likes to fix things.[16] When Emma tries to leave Storybrooke, Henry comes to August, who shows that his arm is also turning into wood and says that soon he will be completely wooden. He gives up on making Emma believe in the curse and wants to spend his remaining time with his father.[8] When Emma finally believes, she goes to August for help. However, August completely turns to wood before her eyes.[15] It is not known whether August's life as Pinocchio or he returned to normal was regained after the curse was lifted, but with Bailey becoming a series regular midway into the first season, it is expected that August will be back in the second season. [edit] Henry Mills Henry Mills (Jared S. Gilmore) is Emma's 10-year-old son whom she gave up for closed adoption after giving birth to him in jail.[2][17] He is also Snow White's and Prince Charming's grandson. He was adopted by Evil Queen/Regina Mills, who found him through Mr. Gold; Henry is named after Regina's father.[18] Henry receives his cherished book of fairy tales from his teacher Mary Margaret and discovers that the residents of Storybrooke are actually characters from this book after noticing he is the only one in town who ages.[2][19] His realization that Regina is the Evil Queen further strains his relationship with her, and she starts taking him to regular therapy sessions with Jiminy Cricket/Archie Hopper in an attempt to end his rebelliousness and his unwavering belief in the curse.[18] Hoping to break the curse and learn why he was put up for adoption, Henry finds his biological mother Emma and brings her to Storybrooke.[2] He even begins a rescue program called "Operation Cobra" to help Emma revive the residents' memories of the Enchanted Forest despite her denial.[18] He begins spending as much time as he can with Emma, often lying to Regina to get away from his adoptive mother. Eventually, Regina forbids Emma from seeing Henry unless Regina allows it.[1] However, he spends times with Emma when Regina is not looking.[13][14] He wishes nothing more than to live with Emma but only after she breaks the curse. He finds out that August Booth is actually Pinocchio and is turning back to wood before discovering that Emma has received an apple turnover from Regina and deduces it to be poisoned. To prevent Emma from eating it and to prove the validity of the curse, he eats it and falls unconscious.[8] As he is hospitalized, Emma comes to believe in the curse. Shortly after the hospital pronounces him dead, Emma tells Henry she loves him and kisses him. The kiss wakes Henry up.[15] [edit] Jiminy Cricket/Archie Hopper Jiminy Cricket (Raphael Sbarge, Adam Young as a child) is the son of unscrupulous con artists. Disapproving his parents' treachery, he desires to live an honest life, but was too weak-willed to leave his family. Eventually, he receives a potion from Rumplestiltskin that will free Jiminy from his parents. However, he inadvertently gives the potion to a young couple, transforming the pair into puppets. He wishes on a star in the hopes that the couple will be transformed back, but the Blue Fairy appears and tells him she cannot undo Rumplestiltskin's work. Instead, he wishes to make things right, and she transforms him into a cricket so that he can be free from his parents and guide the couple's son Geppetto for as long as the boy lives.[20] He later helps the dwarves confront Snow White about her mean-spirited behavior after she drinks a potion and forgets about her true love Prince James. However, the confrontation drives her to want to kill the Evil Queen. He later tells James that the only way for her to remember James is if she remembers her true self.[7] Much later, he is seen advising the residents of the Enchanted Forest against waging war with the Queen and urges them to find a more peaceful solution.[2] When Geppetto is told by the Blue Fairy to carve the wardrobe to transport Emma, he forces the Fairy to agree to let Pinoccho go with her. Jiminy tells Geppetto this is wrong but he snaps that the debt Jiminy owes over his parents is paid and he no longer wants the cricket's advice.[16] In Storybrooke, he is Dr. Archie Hopper, the town's psychotherapist. He owns a Dalmatian named Pongo and is frequently seen carrying an umbrella, like he does as a cricket in the Enchanted Forest.[2] He is also good friends with Marco, who is actually Geppetto. Archie is asked by Regina to convince Henry that his ideas about the curse and the true identities of the Storybrooke residents is "crazy."[18] He makes little progress, and Regina becomes impatient and asks him to take a more radical approach. Although it violates his conscience, he initially complies with her demands. Archie later confides to Henry that he wants to be free to do as he wants, and Henry tells him that Jiminy Cricket was a man who took a long time deciding what the right thing to do was. Archie then stands up to Regina and threatens to declare her an unfit mother if she continues to interfere with his sessions with Henry.[20] Archie later puts David under hypnosis to help David remember his actions during his black-outs, causing David to remember some of his memories from the Enchanted Forest. Emma breaks the curse and he regains his memories as Jiminy Cricket.[7] [edit] Huntsman/Sheriff Graham The Huntsman (Jamie Dornan) is a nameless hunter who is hired by the Evil Queen to cut out Snow White's heart. He was abandoned by his parents and raised by wolves. He considers the wolves to be his true family, and is greatly saddened by the deaths of animals, but he does not hesitate to kill other humans, which he views as selfish, honor-less creatures. Because of this, the Queen believes he is the perfect assassin for Snow White, and offers to protect all the wolves in her kingdom if the Huntsman kills her. However, Snow White inadvertently proves her purity of heart and selflessness when he attempts to kill her, and he lets her go, offering the Queen a stag's heart instead. The Queen realizes she has been tricked and tears out the Huntsman's heart. She keeps his heart in her vault and uses it to make him her slave, threatening to kill him by crushing it if he defies her again.[4] When Prince James escapes from his cell, the Huntsman helps him escape by killing the other guards.[15] In Storybrooke, he is Sheriff Graham, the town's handsome and level-headed police officer with a mysterious past (his fairy tale persona was not revealed until the seventh episode of the first season).[2] His aim is true, as proven by the accuracy of his dart throws,[4] and he is very familiar with the forest surrounding Storybrooke.[5] He is also one of the few residents who go directly against Regina, who is the Evil Queen: first by refusing to continue arresting Emma Swan after doing it once, and then by making Emma his deputy.[18][20] It becomes clear to the town-and Regina-that he and Emma are attracted to each other.[4][18][20] However, he has a secret relationship with Regina and Emma feels betrayed that he did not tell her about it.[9] Graham reveals that he "doesn't feel anything" with Regina and desperately wants to feel "something". To prove he has no feelings for Regina, he kisses Emma, inadvertently triggering memories of his past as the Huntsman. Emma rejects his advances, and he turns back to Regina instead. As the flashbacks continue, he seeks advice from Henry, who tells him about the Huntsman and his missing heart. Graham is unable to find his heart in Regina's vault, disguised as her father's mausoleum, but he ends his relationship with Regina, insisting that Emma has nothing to do with the break-up. Shortly after, he starts a new relationship with Emma, and he regains all of his lost memories. However, Regina crushes his heart (hidden in her father's masoleum) and he dies in Emma's arms.[4] Actor Jamie Dornan stated that he knew about Graham's death since the pilot's filming.[25] Producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz commented that Graham's death was always planned and was meant to prove how serious the curse is; they felt that killing a lesser character would not create the intended effect. Although Graham is dead, the producers stated that because of the popularity of the character, they are trying to "move heaven and earth" to bring the Huntsman back.[19] The Huntsman later made a short appearance in the season finale "A Land Without Magic".[15] [edit] Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) is originally a poor spinner who had deserted from the Ogre Wars-his first wife left him and their young son Baelfire as a result. Baelfire will be taken to fight the Ogre Wars when he turns fourteen, the custom for all children in their village. To save his son from the war, he and Baelfire try to flee, but they are discovered by soldiers. Rumplestiltskin is publicly humiliated, and Baelfire is told of his father's hidden past. Rumplestiltskin meets a lowly beggar, who tells him about a magical dagger engraved with the name of the Dark One, a wizard the soldiers use to submit the villagers to their will. The Dark One serves the owner of the dagger and if he is killed with it, the killer will gain his powers and become the new Dark One. Rumplestiltskin steals the dagger and kills the Dark One, who is revealed to be the beggar after he is stabbed. The beggar felt that being the Dark One was a burden and used Rumplestiltskin's desperation to pass the burden to him, saying, "I know how to recognize a desperate soul." The name on the dagger changes to Rumplestiltskin's and he becomes the Dark One. He kills the soldiers and saves Baelfire from the war, but his son and the other villagers have become terrified of him.[21] Later, Rumplestiltskin agrees to his son's demand to find a way to get rid of his powers. However, when Baelfire receives a magical bean from the Blue Fairy that will take both of them to a world without magic and rid Rumplestiltskin of his powers, Rumplestiltskin is too afraid to lose his powers and Baelfire crosses over alone. Rumpsletiltskin blames the Blue Fairy for Baelfire's disappearance and vows that he will create a curse that will reunite him with his son one day.[14] Rumplestiltskin becomes the most feared and most powerful being in the Enchanted Forest and enters a power struggle with the Evil Queen Regina, resulting in a rivalry between the two ever since.[2][7] He begins making deals with other characters from the Forest, constantly warning them that "magic always comes at a price."[6][20][22] Among his more infamous deals were with Jiminy Cricket and Cinderella, and the deals are mentioned frequently in various episodes. As part of a deal to save Sir Maurice's town from the Ogre Wars, Maurice's daughter Belle becomes the caretaker of his estate. Over time, the pair form a bond, and Rumplestiltskin asks her to go out and buy straw, expecting that she will not return. She surprises him by returning and they kiss, and he starts changing back into who he was prior to becoming The Dark One. However, he learns that she met the Queen on the road and becomes convinced that she was Regina's spy; this stops the transformation. In his rage, he rejects her and locks Belle in his dungeon. He then flies into a tantrum and breaks all of his dishware, except the cup that she accidentally chipped. He throws her out of his castle, telling her that his power is more important to him than she is. She leaves, but not before telling him he will regret his decision. Months later, the Queen visits and lies to him, telling him that Belle was imprisoned and tortured because of her association with him and she eventually committed suicide. Heartbroken, he places the chipped cup in a place of honor while silently weeping.[23] Later, he is frozen by a quill created by the Blue Fairy, to prevent Cinderella from giving up her child.[22] At some point, Regina takes possession of his curse. When she cannot enact it, he asks that she give him a place of comfort and respect in the "new world" the curse will send them to and that she must do anything he asks her to do so long as he says "please," in exchange for telling her how to set the curse in motion.[18] In Storybrooke, he is Mr. Gold, the local pawnshop owner and the town's wealthiest resident. He helped build the town and owns most of it, including Granny's Inn.[2] He is the one who brings the infant Henry to Regina, most certainly knowing it was Emma's biological child (Emma being the one to break the curse).[18] As in the Enchanted Forest, he continues to make "deals" with the residents. He agrees to pay Ashley Boyd in exchange for her child, but agrees to allow Ashley her child in exchange for a favor from Emma.[22] He backs Emma in her bid to be sheriff after Graham's death; however, he starts a fire and manipulates the voters' fear of him to get Emma elected. When she wins the position, he reminds her that she owes him a favor.[21] Later, flower vendor Moe French, actually Belle's father Maurice, robs Mr. Gold's home. Emma retrieves everything but the chipped teacup Mr. Gold treasures as a reminder of Belle. To recover the cup, Mr. Gold kidnaps Moe and tortures him; however, his ranting seems to show that he is truly punishing Moe as retaliation for causing Belle's death. Emma finds them just in time to stop Mr. Gold from beating Moe to death, and he is arrested. Soon after, Regina visits Mr. Gold and offers to return the cup if Mr. Gold tells her his name. He admits that he knows he is Rumplestiltskin and assures her that he is still more powerful than she is.[23] When Mary Margaret is accused of the murder of Kathryn Nolan, he offers her his legal services, which she accepts. Later, Emma begins to believe that Regina framed Mary Margaret and asks him to help her find proof.[7] However, it is revealed that Regina made another deal with him to ensure Mary Margaret's conviction and that Regina left a key in Mary Margaret's cell upon his suggestion.[13] Later, when he sees August in his shop, Mr. Gold believes that August is Baelfire. He admits that he regrets not going with Baelfire and only wants to be forgiven. However, Mr. Gold realizes that August is not his son when August tries to take the dagger that Mr. Gold buried to control him. August reveals that he is deathly ill and needs magic to get better, but at the rate Emma is going, she will bring magic to Storybrooke too late to save him. Mr. Gold points out that not even he can help as there is no magic in Storybrooke and leaves August to find a different way.[14] Regina later comes to him to ask for help destroying Emma; he refuses, as he secretly hopes the curse will be broken. When Henry bites into Regina's poisoned apple (which she recovered with Jefferson's help), he tells Emma where to find a bottle of true love, the only thing that will save him. However, he tricks her into giving it to him and takes it to his shop. There, Belle finds him and tells him that Regina held her captive-Mr. Gold hugs her and promises he will protect her. The pair are in the woods when the curse on Storybrooke is broken. He discovers that Belle has regained her memory and tells her that he loves her. He takes her to a well that has "the power to restore what one has lost." He drops the bottle of true love into the water, causing a cloud of magical smoke to engulf the town and bring magic back to Storybrooke.[15] [edit] Red Riding Hood/Wolf/Ruby Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory), called Red, lives with her Granny, who insists to Red's annoyance that she always wear a red cloak. She loves her childhood friend, a blacksmith named Peter, but Granny disapproves of their relationship. The pair plan to run away together one day to escape Granny's scrutiny. Red meets Snow White when Snow takes refuge in Red's chicken coop during Wolfstime, when a killer wolf that slaughters cattle and anyone who tries to stop it plagues Red's village. When the wolf kills a large hunting party, the townspeople decide to kill the wolf, even after Granny reveals that the wolf had slaughtered her entire family and bit her. Red and Snow decide to go hunting for the wolf themselves so Red and Peter can be together. Unfortunately, what they find indicates that Peter is the wolf at night. Snow wears Red's cloak to trick her Granny and allow Red to go out and see Peter, convincing Peter to chain himself up for the night while she keeps him company. Granny discovers the deception and reveals that Red is the wolf-she inherited a curse that turns her into a wolf during a full moon, but her red cloak (which Granny purchased from a wizard) is enchanted and prevents the transformation. By the time Snow and Granny reach Red, she has already turned into a wolf and killed Peter. They throw the cloak over Red, and she transforms back into a human. Horrified to learn that she killed Peter, she goes on the run with Snow.[12] She is later seen bringing Snow food every month, and she is the one who tells Snow that Prince James has not yet called off his wedding.[6] When Prince James comes looking for Snow, Red tells James that Snow has not returned from her trip to his father's kingdom. When King George's guards arrive to kill James, James takes Red with him to find Snow.[10] When the soldiers attack again, Red transforms into a wolf to fight them off and allow James's escape.[7] She and Granny are later seen helping Snow rescue James, and they help determine the best way to fight the Evil Queen and her curse.[2][8] In Storybrooke, she is Ruby, a rebellious young woman who wants to leave town but is held back by her grandmother's ill health.[2][12] She works at Granny's Café as a waitress.[6][21] Her relationship with her grandmother is strained, as her grandmother disapproves of her behavior and her provocative attire.[2][12] She is friends with Mary Margaret and Ashley Boyd, Snow White and Cinderella respectively, and becomes friends with Emma when she arrives in Storybrooke.[10][22] When Emma goes looking for Ashley when she is in trouble with Mr. Gold, Ruby covers for Ashley and leads her in the wrong direction because she wanted to buy Ashley time. In one episode, Ruby becomes tired of her grandmother telling her to take on extra responsibility, quits her job, and intends to leave town. Instead, she temporarily moves in with Mary Margaret and takes a job as Sheriff Emma Swan's assistant in the station. Because of her tracking skills inherited from the wolf's curse, she is the one who locates David Nolan unconscious in the forest and discovers a buried box containing a human heart. Finding the heart horrifies her, and she decides to start working at Granny's again. Because of her newfound maturity, she starts wearing less revealing clothes and less make-up. She apologizes to her grandmother, who tells her that she was working Ruby so hard because she wanted her to take over the café when she retired. When Emma breaks the curse, Ruby's memories of being Red Riding Hood are returned to her, but it is not yet revealed if Red's powers as a wolf will be restored as well.[12] On June 14, 2012, it was announced that Meghan Ory will be a series regular for the second season.[26] [edit] Belle Belle (Emilie de Ravin)[27] is the daughter of Sir Maurice, who presumably rules a town that will soon be destroyed in the Ogre Wars. Rumplestiltskin offers to protect them if Belle becomes the caretaker for his estate. Her father and her fiancé Gaston (Sage Brocklebank) refuse to let her leave, but Belle accepts the deal. Over time, the pair form a bond that is shown when Rumplestiltskin catches her when she falls off a ladder and tells her about his missing son. Rumplestiltskin asks her to go out and buy straw, expecting that she will not return to him. On the road, she meets the Evil Queen Regina and learns that true love's kiss will break any curse, including the one on Rumplestiltskin. Belle returns to the castle and kisses him, and he starts changing back into who he was before becoming The Dark One. However, he learns that she met the Queen and becomes convinced that she was working for her to drain him of his powers; this stops the transformation. In his rage, he rejects her and locks her in his dungeon. He then breaks all of his dishware, except the cup that she accidentally chipped. He throws her out of his castle, stating that his power is more important to him than she is. She tells him he is a coward for not believing she truly loves him, telling him, "So this is your choice-and you're going to regret it. All you'll have is an empty heart...and a chipped cup." She then leaves and he does not see her again in the Enchanted Forest. She is later seen giving advice on love to Grumpy in the dwarf mines.[11] When Regina next sees Rumplestiltskin, she tells him that when Belle returned home, her father shunned her, locking her in a tower that she later jumped from, dying. Rumplestiltskin believes her and replaces a jeweled goblet on a pedestal with the chipped cup, believing Belle was truly gone.[23] It is quickly proven that Regina lied to Rumplestiltskin, as Belle is proven to exist in Storybrooke when Regina visits her in a secret ward in the hospital.[23] She is released by Jefferson, who was enraged that Regina would not compensate him for helping her retrieve the poisoned apple that almost killed Snow White and Henry (it is unclear how Jefferson was aware of her existence). He tells her to find Mr. Gold, who is actually Rumplestiltskin, and to tell him that Regina held her captive. She finds Mr. Gold, but does not remember who he is. He hugs her, promising to protect her, and tells her that she will remember. When the curse on Storybrooke is broken, she regains her memories as Belle and professes her love for Rumplestiltskin. The two embrace, and Belle stands beside Rumplestiltskin as he brings magic to Storybrooke.[15] On June 19, 2012, it was announced that Emilie de Ravin will be a series regular for the second season.[28] [edit] Secondary characters [edit] Genie/Magic Mirror/Sidney Glass The Genie (Giancarlo Esposito) and his lamp is discovered by King Leopold, who is given the customary three wishes. However, the King feels he has no need to wish for anything and uses the first and second wishes to free the Genie from the lamp and to give the third wish to the Genie. The Genie expresses the desire to find true love, so the King takes the Genie to his castle as he believes the Genie can find true love there. He falls in love with the King's second wife Queen Regina and gives her a hand mirror. The King reads in the Queen's diary that she has fallen in love with the man who gave her the hand mirror, but as the man is not named, he asks the Genie to locate him. The Queen is then locked in her room to prevent her from leaving the King. To free her, her father Henry has the Genie bring her a locked box, which turns out to be filled with poisonous vipers from Agrabah so the Queen can kill herself. Instead, the Genie uses the vipers to kill the King and allow the Queen to be with him. Soon after, she tells him that since the vipers were from his country, the guards will find out that he was the murderer and that he should flee. He realizes that the Queen never loved him and was simply using him to kill the King and let her rule. As he still loves her, he uses his wish to be always with her and to never leave her sight. However, this traps him in the hand mirror.[1] As a spirit in the mirror, he is able to move between and see through all other mirrors in the Enchanted Forest. He is used by Regina to spy on and locate others.[4][17] In Storybrooke, he is Sidney Glass, a reporter for Storybrooke's local newspaper The Daily Mirror. On Regina's request, he researches Emma's past to help Regina expel her from Storybrooke.[18] After Graham's death, Regina attempts to appoint him sheriff, but the wording of the town charter calls for an election. He loses the position to Emma.[21] Regina has him removed from the newspaper staff, and Sidney goes to Emma, claiming that he wants to expose Regina as the corrupt person she is. However, the exposé reveals Regina's attempts to improve the community. Despite this, Sidney tells Emma that he will help her take down Regina, but it is revealed that he is secretly in league with Regina, who is using Emma's trust in Sidney to gain leverage over Emma.[1] Emma later learns that he planted a bug in a vase glass after it is used to tip off Regina upon discovering a key piece of evidence that would have cleared Mary Margaret of Kathryn Nolan's murder.[3] Emma confronts Sidney and realizes that he is in love with Regina. Still, Emma presses him to help defeat Regina. However, after Kathryn is found alive, Sidney falsely confesses to kidnapping Kathryn and framing Mary Margaret so that he could "find" Kathryn and become famous.[14] Later, a cell labeled "S. Glass" is seen in the hospital basement's psychiatric ward.[15] [edit] Jefferson/Mad Hatter Jefferson (Sebastian Stan) is the Mad Hatter and owns a magical hat that he can use to travel between different worlds. In the past, he used his hat to retrieve objects for the Evil Queen. However, he gave his job up as his daughter Grace lost her mother because of it. He lives with Grace in the forest, and they collect and sell mushrooms to survive. When the Queen asks for another favor, he initially refuses, but eventually agrees with the condition that his daughter "will want for nothing" afterward. He takes the Queen to Wonderland, and she rescues her father Henry. However, his hat will only take two back to the Queen's realm because only two left that realm. The Queen tells him that if he truly cared for Grace, he would have never left her. Jefferson is left behind and captured by the knights of the Queen of Hearts. He is beheaded when he does not tell her how he came to Wonderland, but he survives. He is then ordered to make another magical hat to return home. His head is then reattached, leaving a scar around his neck. Although he makes thousands of hats, none are able to take him home, leading him into insanity.[13] In Storybrooke, he is able to remember life in the Enchanted Kingdom which is his part of the curse. He lives near the forest in a large house, from which he uses telescopes to spy on Sheriff Emma Swan's office and on his daughter Grace, who is now named Paige. He captures Mary Margaret Blanchard after she escapes from her cell though he says he did this to save her from the curse, as she was intending to leave Storybrooke. He later abducts Emma when she goes looking for Mary Margaret. He orders Emma to make a magical hat that will take him home: a task only she can do as she has brought magic to Storybrooke. He also tells Emma that the curse is real and that his curse is to watch Grace be happy with a different father and know that he does not belong to the world she is living in. She makes a hat, but she is unable to make it take him home. She and Mary Margaret eventually escape by pushing him out a window. He disappears immediately after, leaving nothing but the hat Emma made.[13] Jefferson returns when Regina leaves a White Rabbit playing card on his daughter's bike. She tells Jefferson she can return his daughter to him with her memories returned. However, Jefferson feels that would be cursing his daughter to remember both of her lives and instead demands he be allowed to forget and have a new life with his daughter. Regina agrees provided Jefferson help her get rid of Emma. With the last bit of Regina's magic, they get his hat working again and he retrieves the cursed apple that put Snow White into a death-like sleep. When he calls on Regina to uphold her end, she promises that she will after Emma is gone.[8] After Henry accidentally eats the poisoned apple, Regina refuses to help Jefferson, blaming him. Furious, Jefferson frees Belle from her cell and instructs her to tell Mr. Gold that Regina held her captive, knowing that Mr. Gold will want to take revenge.[15] [edit] Grumpy/Dreamy/Leroy Grumpy (Lee Arenberg) is one of eight dwarf brothers who hatched from their eggs at the same time. Like all dwarfs, he is immediately sent to work in the mines and is given an ax, which names him Dreamy. Because his egg was accidentally sprinkled with fairy dust by the fairy Nova, he dreams about her and falls in love with her. Later, he meets her and the pair make plans to buy a boat and see the world. However, the Blue Fairy tells him that if he and Nova run away together, she will lose her wings and she will never be truly happy. To prevent this, Dreamy ends their relationship and breaks her heart. He returns to the mines the next day and breaks his ax mining; when he is given another, it renames him Grumpy.[11] He is later caught possessing a stolen diamond, which he did not know was stolen, and is seen in King George's dungeon in a cell next to Snow White's. He is freed by Stealthy, one of his brothers, and he in turn frees Snow. As he and Stealthy escape, they are discovered by George and his guards and Stealthy is killed. Before the guards can kill Grumpy, Snow goes with George in exchange for Grumpy's life. Grumpy and the remaining six dwarves run into Snow outside the castle. Grumpy tells her that she must live with the pain of a lost love to grow as a person and does not allow her to drink a potion that makes her forget about her love for Prince James. The seven dwarves then allow her to live with them. Later, Grumpy goes to tell her that James called off his wedding, but he discovers that she drank the potion.[6] He and his brothers try to confront Snow about her new, mean-spirited behavior, but they drive her to try and kill the Evil Queen instead. He takes her to see Rumplestiltskin, who gave her the potion, but he advises her on the best way to kill the Queen instead. Eventually, Snow regains her memory and apologizes to the dwarves for her behavior. She decides to rescue James, who was captured by George, and Grumpy and his brothers go with her.[7] Grumpy is later seen discussing the best course of action against the Evil Queen and her curse, calling for war. He is also seen as a guard looking out for the curse in a watchtower of Snow's and James's castle.[2] In Storybrooke, he is Leroy, a janitor at the hospital and the "town drunk."[5] He, like the rest of Storybrooke, is hostile toward Mary Margaret, who is Snow White, after learning about her affair with David Nolan, who is Prince James. He meets Sister Astrid, who is Nova, and decides to help Mary Margaret sell candles for the nunnery and raise money for the nunnery's rent so that he can be near Astrid. When he and Mary Margaret fail to sell enough candles, he lies about the number they sold because he is unable to disappoint Astrid. He tries to sell his boat to Mr. Gold in the hopes that he will forgive the rent. Mr. Gold refuses. Astrid later learns about the candles and is upset that he lied. That night, Leroy causes a blackout, forcing the residents to buy candles. The candles sell out and the nunnery is able to pay its rent. Leroy then offers the grateful Astrid the opportunity to be the first passenger on his boat.[11] [edit] Widow Lucas/Granny Widow Lucas (Beverley Elliott), simply referred to as Granny, is the grandmother of Red Riding Hood. She is very protective of Red, insisting that Red always wear her cloak and preventing her from going out when it is dark. She also disapproves of Red's relationship with Peter. When a wolf starts killing villagers, Granny warns the others that the wolf is a monster; she tells them that when she was a girl, a wolf killed her father and her brothers and then bit her before it walked away. Red and Snow White come to believe Peter is the wolf, and they trick Granny so Red can chain Peter and spend the night with him. Granny discovers the deception and reveals that Red inherited the family curse and is actually the wolf. Granny received the red cloak from a wizard, who enchanted it so that it prevents Red's transformation. Granny herself became a wolf when Red's grandfather turned her into a wolf after marking her with a bite and later finding her. The other aspects of the curse faded with age, but she has kept her heightened senses. By the time Granny and Snow find Red, she has already killed Peter. They throw the cloak over Red and Granny urges the pair to run and escape the hunters after the wolf.[12] The pair are later seen helping Snow rescue Prince James, and much later they help determine the best way to fight the Evil Queen and her curse.[2][8] In Storybrooke, she is only known as Granny and is the owner of Granny's Inn and Granny's Cafe and is the grandmother of Ruby, who is Red. Her health problems prevent Ruby from leaving town. Their relationship is hostile as Granny disapproves of Ruby's behavior and sexually provocative attire.[2][12] Ruby becomes tired of her grandmother telling her what to do and quits her job. Ruby eventually returns and apologizes to her grandmother, who tells her that she was making Ruby work so hard because she wanted her to take over the Cafe.[12] Granny's memories are returned at the same time as Ruby's.[15] [edit] Princess Abigail/Kathryn Nolan Princess Abigail (Anastasia Griffith) is the haughty daughter of King Midas. When Prince James slays the dragon plaguing her realm, her father deems him worthy enough to marry her; she reluctantly agrees, stating "he'll do."[9] James later falls in love with Snow White and tries to secretly run away from the marriage. She intercepts him before his father can kill him and reveals that she knows about his love for Snow. She gives him provisions and aid in his search for Snow and tells him that reuniting James and Snow might provide some consolation for her lost love Frederick, a knight she loved and was to marry until he was turned into gold while protecting her father. James then retrieves the magical waters of a lake to restore Frederick and reunite Abigail and Frederick.[10] In Storybrooke, she is Kathryn Nolan, the wife of David Nolan, who is really Prince James. The pair were separated for years because he left the house after an argument and, unknown to her, fell into a coma. When he wakes up from his coma, Regina Mills reunites the pair, starting Kathryn's friendship with Regina.[5] However, Kathryn and David's marriage is plagued with problems. David suffers from amnesia and has difficulty remembering his life with Kathryn, and he later falls in love with Mary Margaret Blanchard, who is Snow White, and starts an affair with her.[6][9] Kathryn tells David she was accepted into a law school in Boston, but David tells her that he cannot go with her and suggests they end their marriage. Kathryn learns about the affair from Regina and later learns that there was never any love in her marriage. She decides to go to Boston alone. She writes David a letter telling him that she wants David and Mary Margaret to be happy together and that she forgives them both. However, Regina steals the letter from the Nolans' home and burns it before he can read it. Kathryn's car crashes at the city limits and is found empty by a teacher, who is really Frederick.[10] The missing persons case becomes a murder case when a heart proven to be Kathryn's is found in Mary Margaret's jewelry box. Mary Margaret is arrested for her murder.[7][12] However, she is later found battered but alive behind Granny's Cafe by Ruby.[3] She cannot remember anything about her disappearance other than she was imprisoned in a basement.[14] [edit] King George/Albert Spencer King George (Alan Dale) is the adoptive father of the original and replacement Prince James. George and his wife were unable to bear children on their own, so he struck a deal with Rumplestiltskin for an heir. Years later, the kingdom falls into financial trouble, and Prince James offers to slay the dragon plaguing King Midas's realm in exchange for gold. However, James is killed shortly after. To replace the prince and win the gold, George gives Rumplestiltskin the location of a Fairy Godmother for another heir. Although Rumplestiltskin cannot resurrect the dead prince, he tells the king that the prince has a twin brother, who is living as a shepherd. George tells the new Prince James that he can return home after the dragon is slain. The task is completed, but Midas deems the prince worthy of marrying his daughter and uniting the kingdoms. George reneges on his promise and forces James to marry; if he does not, George will kill James's mother and burn his home.[9] Later, the king learns that James has fallen in love with Snow White. He forces Snow to break James's heart and allow him to marry Midas's daughter or he will kill the prince, martryring him, and hopefully uniting the kingdom out of Midas's pity for George.[6] However, James still breaks off his engagement, so George and his knights chase James through the kingdom trying to kill him.[10] They eventually capture him, and George orders James to be beheaded. However, the Evil Queen rescues James and takes him as her captive.[8] In Storybrooke, he is the coldhearted District Attorney Albert Spencer [3] who leads the prosecution, for the Princess Abigail/Kathryn Nolan "murder case", against Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard. [edit] Blue Fairy/Mother Superior The Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy), or the Reul Ghorm[14] is a high-ranking fairy godmother who uses her magic to help others. Although she is quite powerful, she is unable to undo Rumplestiltskin's magic; to help fix a problem created by Rumplestiltskin's magic, she transforms Jiminy into a cricket and guides him to help Geppetto.[20] However, she is able to create a quill that temporarily freezes Rumplestiltskin when he signs using it, aiding in his imprisonment.[22] Rumplestiltskin is antagonistic toward her because he blames her for the disappearance of his son Baelfire; she helps Baelfire take away Rumplestiltskin's powers by giving him a magical bean that will transport both to a world without magic, but Baelfire crosses over alone.[14] The Blue Fairy ends the relationship between the fairy Nova and dwarf Dreamy by telling Dreamy that their love will cause Nova to lose her wings and stop her from becoming happy.[11] The Blue Fairy also presents the idea of fashioning a wardrobe from a magical tree that could ward off any curse, which saves Emma from the Evil Queen's curse by sending her to the new world.[2] In Storybrooke, she is the Mother Superior of the town's nuns, at least some of whom were also fairies prior to the curse. Mr. Gold, who is Rumplestiltskin, is the nunnery's landlord, who refuses to forgive one month of their rent in exchange for Leroy's boat because he and the nuns "have history."[11] She is later seen in Henry's hospital room. When the curse is broken, she warns Regina, the Evil Queen, "If I were you, your Majesty, I'd find a place to hide."[15] [edit] Other characters [edit] Maleficent Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten) is a witch who is able to take the form of a fire-breathing dragon. Upon Rumplestiltskin's request, Prince James hides an egg containing a bottle of true love inside Maleficent.[15] After failing to kill Sleeping Beauty, she gave up on her revenge and found solace in her pet black unicorn. She traded the sleeping curse to Evil Queen in exchange for another curse.[18] The Queen tries to reclaim her curse, but Maleficent refuses to return it, saying that it is something that no one should use. Regina defeats Maleficent with her magical powers and takes back the curse. However, she allows Maleficent to live saying that Maleficent is her only friend.[18] When the curse takes hold, Regina traps Maleficent in her dragon form and imprisons her underneath Storybrooke's abandoned library. Emma Swan is forced to kill Maleficent to retrieve the bottle of true love.[15] However, it was revealed that due to Rumplestiltskin unleashing the magic into Storybrooke that she will return in the second season.[29] [edit] Dr. Whale Dr. Whale (David Anders) is a doctor working in the Storybrooke Hospital and is most often seen treating David Nolan. He is strongly connected to Regina Mills and does whatever she says without hesitation. He becomes romantically involved with Mary Margaret Blanchard when she tries to move on from David; he sends her flowers, buys her drinks, and take her out on a couple of dates.[4][5] However, on the pair's first date, he is unable to stop looking at Ruby; he is also seen trying to help Ruby carry her bags when she leaves home.[5][12] The producers have stated that Dr. Whale's identity in the Enchanted Forest will be revealed in a future season.[30] [edit] Cinderella/Ashley Boyd Cinderella (Jessy Schram), called Ella, is a maid who wished to attend the royal ball. Her fairy godmother appears to grant her wish, but Rumplestiltskin kills the fairy. Warning her that "all magic comes with a price," he offers her a contract: her wish in exchange for something she will have in the future. She signs it without reading it and goes to the ball. She meets Prince Thomas (Tim Phillipps), and the two fall in love and marry. At the wedding reception, Rumplestiltskin reminds Ella of the contract and informs her that he asked for her first-born child. When she discovers she is pregnant, she tries to run away. But Thomas and Prince James devise a plan to capture Rumplestiltskin. The plan succeeds, but Thomas disappears. Rumplestiltskin vows that she will never see Thomas again until the contract is fulfilled.[22] In Storybrooke, she is 19-year-old Ashley Boyd, a single, pregnant maid. The baby's father Sean Herman, who is really Thomas, is not allowed by his father to continue seeing Ashley. Sean's father arranges for Mr. Gold, who is Rumplestiltskin, to pay Ashley in exchange for the baby. She originally agrees to the exchange, but she later decides to keep her child. She tries to flee town but goes into labor at the city limits. Sheriff Emma finds her and brings her to the hospital. There, Emma agrees to do Mr. Gold a favor if Ashley is allowed to keep the baby. Mr. Gold agrees to the arrangement. Ashley gives birth to a daughter, and Sean visits the hospital to reconcile with Ashley and to see his daughter.[22] A few months after, he proposes to Ashley and the pair are engaged.[23] [edit] Geppetto/Marco Geppetto (Tony Amendola, Michael Strusievici as a young boy) is an elderly carpenter and Pinocchio's caretaker.[2] Geppetto is orphaned when Jiminy accidentally transforms Geppetto's parents into puppets. To make amends, Jiminy looks after him.[20] Geppetto later carves himself a son named Pinocchio out of magical wood. As a little boy puppet, he gives his life to save Geppetto from drowning in a storm. As a reward, Blue Fairy turns Pinocchio into a real boy. The Blue Fairy asks Geppetto to carve another enchanted tree into a magical wardrobe with the ability to save two people, the pregnant Snow White and Prince James from the Evil Queen's curse. However, the curse will send everyone to a land without magic and Pinocchio, who is a real boy because of magic, may turn back into a puppet. Geppetto bargains with the Fairy to use the second spot for Pinocchio, and the Fairy lies to the others and says that the wardrobe can only save one.[16] When Snow White's child is born, instead of giving up Pinocchio's spot to Snow White, Geppetto sends his son and tells him to protect the child and get her to believe in magic after twenty years.[16] In Storybrooke, he is Marco, the town's handyman and an old friend of Archie, who is really Jiminy.[20] Marco states that he and his wife are unable to have children.[2] August Booth, the adult Pinocchio, later tells Marco that he failed his father and though he tried to keep his promise, he tried too late. Marco tells him that if he had a son, that would be enough. August offers to work as Marco's assistant though he cannot be paid, and Marco agrees to take him on.[16] [edit] King Leopold King Leopold (Richard Schiff) is the father of Snow White and the husband of Queen Regina, his second wife. After Regina saved his daughter, King Leopold married her in order to give his daughter a mother.[3] Despite the death of his first wife, he remains cheerful and he is always thankful for his daughter. He rules his realm with kindness and wants for nothing except for the happiness of his kingdom and its subjects. So when he finds the Genie's lamp, he uses the first wish to free the Genie from the lamp and uses the second wish to give the third wish to the Genie. However, these wishes end in disaster when the Genie falls in love with Regina and plots to kill the King to free her from the loveless marriage. The Genie places poisonous vipers in the King's bed, as the Genie apologizes, the King dies after he is bitten but not before revealing to the Genie that he should have never made any wish.[1] [edit] King Midas King Midas (Alex Zahara) is a rich king with the power to turn all he touches to gold, an ability restrained only by a glove he wears. Despite his wealth, he is a kind and caring king who wishes to have the dragon terrorizing his kingdom slain and desires the happiness of his daughter Abigail above everything else. He promises King George gold in return for the head of the dragon, which is to be killed by George's son Prince James. Unbeknownst to Midas, the prince is killed and another man replaces the prince and completes the task. Midas, unaware that both James and his replacement are adopted and neither is of royal blood, deems the dragon's slayer worthy to marry his daughter and offers to unite his kingdom with George's through a marriage between their children.[9] [edit] Baelfire Baelfire (Dylan Schmid) is the son of Rumplestiltskin, a poor spinner. He lives alone with his father as his mother died years before. On his fourteenth birthday, Baelfire will be taken to fight in the Ogre War. A few days before his birthday, he and Rumplestiltskin try to run away, but they are discovered. Instead, his father becomes the Dark One and kills the soldiers who will take Baelfire. Although Rumplestiltskin claims that Baelfire is safe, Baelfire responds that he is not and that he is scared.[21] Rumplestiltskin later agrees to find a way to dispose of his powers that does not kill him. However, Baelfire worries that he may back out of the deal because the Dark One's powers corrupt his father more each day. Desperate, Baelfire asks the Blue Fairy for help and receives a magic bean that will take Baelfire and his father to a world without magic, taking Rumplestiltskin's powers away. However, Rumplestiltskin is too afraid to lose his powers and Baelfire crosses over by himself. Baelfire's fate has yet to be revealed.[14] [edit] Frederick/Jim Frederick (Greyston Holt) is a knight and true love of Princess Abigail. The couple were to be married until he was turned into a gold statue protecting her father King Midas. He is restored by the magical waters of Lake Nostos, gathered by Prince James, and is happily reunited with Abigail.[10] In Storybrooke, he is Jim, a physical education teacher at the elementary school. After Kathryn Nolan, who is really Abigail, crashes her car at the city limits, he finds her car abandoned.[10][12] [edit] Henry Henry (Tony Perez) is the loving but weak father of the Evil Queen Regina and serves as her royal valet in the Enchanted Forest. Regina's adopted son Henry Mills in Storybrooke is named for him. Henry is supportive of Regina, but does not protect her against the manipulations or actions of her mother.[3] Although he objects to Regina's cruel and evil behavior as queen, he continues to possess a strong love for her.[18] When Regina is locked in her room at the palace, Henry is the one who brings the vipers to the Genie to free her.[1] Some time after, he is abducted by the Queen of Hearts and held captive in Wonderland in an attempt by the Queen of Hearts to gain leverage over Regina. With the Mad Hatter's help, Regina is able to rescue him.[13] He also advises her to visit Maleficent to retrieve her curse. When she is unable to enact the curse properly, she visits Rumplestiltskin and is told that she must tear out the heart of the "thing [she] love[s] most." She understands this to mean her father. He tries to convince her that they can still be happy together and start a new life, but she still tears his heart out. He is buried in a grave near the site where she enacts the curse.[18] He does not appear in Storybrooke, but it is revealed that his tomb has become a large mausoleum. It is broken into by Sheriff Graham and Emma Swan, who are looking for Graham's heart. They are confronted by Regina, and they eventually leave. After, she pushes aside her father's tomb to reveal the secret vault where she keeps the hearts she collected as Queen.[4] [edit] Cora Cora (Barbara Hershey) is the cruel and controlling mother of Evil Queen Regina. She feels that Regina does not act like a proper lady and wants her to achieve a high status in life, just as Cora, a miller's daughter, elevated her own status through marriage. She is also dismissive of her husband Henry and believes he coddles Regina too much. She uses her magical powers to force Regina to submit to her demands. Cora causes a child Snow White's horse to become wild, knowing that Regina would save Snow. Cora then uses this opportunity to arrange a marriage between Regina and Snow's father King Leopold. When she learns that Regina is in love with the stable boy Daniel, she first appears to let Regina remain with Daniel. She advises them that a good parent knows when to do what is best for her child. Shortly after, she magically pulls Daniel's heart and kills him. Cora tells a heartbroken Regina that love is an illusion and that only power is real. She also states that she made too many deals and sacrifices to let Regina pass up the chance to be queen.[3] The fate of Cora, since her first appearance, has not yet been revealed, but Hershey will return in future episodes as Regina's mother in the second season. [edit] Nova/Sister Astrid Nova (Amy Acker) is the love interest of Grumpy/Leroy. In the Enchanted Forest she is a fairy being trained by the Blue Fairy (Mother Superior in Storybrooke). While sprinkling fairy dust, Nova accidentally sprinkles some on an egg. When the egg hatches in the dwarf mines, Grumpy emerges (though he is first named Dreamy). Nova and Grumpy later cross paths again and fall in love, and both plan to run away so they can see the world together. When the Blue Fairy tells Dreamy that Nova will lose her wings if she elopes with him, Dreamy ends the relationship and breaks Nova's heart in the process. He is renamed Grumpy after he returns to the mines. In Storybrooke, Nova is Sister Astrid, a kindhearted but clumsy woman who accidentally orders too much helium for a candle fundraiser and loses all the funds the nunnery badly needed to pay their rent. Leroy offers to help her come up with the money to sell the candles. When he does, he asks Sister Astrid (who is as smitten with Leroy as he is with her) to be the first passenger on the new boat he purchased-she agrees without hesitation. Sister Astrid presumably regains her memories as Nova when Emma breaks the curse. [edit] References - ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l Bryan Spicer, Writ. Ian Goldbery and Andrew Chambliss (January 29.
