The characters of the American fantasy-drama television series Once Upon a Time and its spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland are renditions of classic fairy tale and fantasy characters.
Once Upon A Time
Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), a bail bond agent and her son, Henry (Jared S. Gilmore) discover that a town named Storybrooke is actually a remnant of a parallel world that was cursed by the Evil Queen Regina (Lana Parrilla). The characters originate from different realms in the land, most notably the Enchanted Forest. They initially have no memory of who they were, including the parents of Emma: Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), who sent her to the real world to break the curse. Following the curse being broken by Emma, Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle) brings magic to Storybrooke and the characters are reunited, but cannot leave without losing their original memories. Outsiders Greg Mendell (Ethan Embry) and Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green) arrive in Storybrooke and carry out their quest to destroy magic from the town. After failing, the pair kidnap Henry to Neverland, leaving Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Regina, Mr. Gold and Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) to rescue him.
Upon arrival in Neverland, Rumplestiltskin's father Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) obtains Henry, keeping possession of him with help from the Lost Boys. After retrieving Henry from Neverland and successfully returning to Storybrooke, Pan enacts the original curse once more that sends all the inhabitants back to their original worlds. Emma and Henry escape to New York City and have happy memories of their life together while losing their memories of Storybrooke. Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West (Rebecca Mader) begins her revenge plot against her half sister Regina, ultimating in the characters being returned to Storybrooke, and leaving Emma to again save the residents.[1] Mary Margaret and David welcome a son who they name after Henry's father Neal Cassidy (Michael Raymond-James) who sacrificed his life to defeat Zelena. However, her time travelling portal inadvertently welcomes Elsa (Georgina Haig) to the town.

As Mr. Gold, along with Emma Swan, Mary Margaret, David, Regina, and Captain Hook travel to retrieve a kidnapped Henry from Neverland, he gives Belle a protection spell to cast around Storybrooke.[17] He encounters a form of Belle frequently in Neverland as an illusion to act as a crutch to his cowardliness;[53] she is later revealed as his father Peter Pan's shadow in disguise.

Upon his freedom, Mr. Gold proposes to Belle after trusting her with his dagger (unknown to her, it is a replica) and the two are married. After feeling a surge of guilt when Elsa tries to find Anna, Belle uses the fake dagger to "force" Rumplestiltskin to take her to the Snow Queen's lair, so that she can steal the Sorcerer's hat and use it to force the Snow Queen to reveal where Anna is. Instead, she ran into the Mirror of Shattered Sight, which caused her to feel that she was responsible for Anna's disappearance, and believe that Rumplestiltskin only married her because he could manipulate her, and that her dagger was a fake. The enchantment causes her to lash out and cut Rumplestiltskin when he tries to get her away from the mirror, and when he teleports them back to his shop, she apologizes for losing trust in him, and promises never to use the dagger on him again. When Ingrid, the Snow Queen, freezes the police station's door shut to keep the others from warning Emma of her scheme, she convinced Rumplestiltsking to go help out. After the Snow Queen cast the Spell of Shattered Sight, she found a counterspell for the Spell of Shattered Sight, and worked with the Fairies on the cure. However, when the cure was close to its completion, Rumplestiltskin led her out of Granny's Diner, so that Hook could capture the Fairies with the Sorcerer's Hat. Then, Rumplestiltskin locks Belle inside of his shop, to prevent others from getting to her when the spell hits. After the Spell of Shattered Sight is ended, Belle learns that the dagger she has, is a fake and she uses the real one to force her husband, Mr. Gold, to leave Storybrooke. Sometime, during six weeks Belle learned about the apprentice, the hat, and the wizard. | ||||||

When he threatened to tell Belle and later Emma about using the knife, Gold in turn threatened Hook into doing his bidding by vowing to reveal Hook's dark side again, and later on while attempting to save Emma from Gold's plan to strip her of her powers, loses his heart to Gold, making Hook his puppet to use him to get what he wants. Soon afterwards, Gold tasks Hook with using the hat to drain the Fairies' magic, in order to kill the cure for the Spell of Shattered Sight, and to obtain enough power to free himself from the Dagger of Kris.

They steal back Henry, but Regina paralyzes Jefferson so he is left behind while she and her father return to the Enchanted Forest. He is captured by the guards and brought before the audience of the Queen of Hearts. While her face is completely obscured, she does not directly speak to him, and instead talks into a tube for the Knave of Hearts to communicate her messages to Jefferson. She is extremely displeased that he helped Regina steal from her. When Jefferson calls Regina "the Queen", Cora cuts him off with a stomp, prompting the Knave of Hearts to ask him to refrain from referring to that woman by such a name. When questioned about how he came to Wonderland, Jefferson doesn't answer, and instead asks if it's possible for him to go home to his daughter after he tells them. Annoyed at his response, she orders for his head to be taken off. Only after losing his body, yet still being alive, Jefferson confesses that his hat brought him to Wonderland, but Regina took it away. On behalf of Cora, the Knave of Hearts commands him to make another hat so he can leave this world for his homeland. Later Regina requests Hook's assistance to kill her mother, by taking out her heart and in return, he'll be able to get his revenge on Rumplestiltskin once the Dark Curse is cast. Before he goes, Regina enchants his hook with the ability to remove a heart. She also requires that her mother's corpse be returned to the Enchanted Forest, so she sends a dead soldier with him. Via Jefferson's magic hat, he ends up in Cora's palace in Wonderland. Once again, she does not show her face, hiding it with a mask, and uses the long tube to ask questions while the Knave of Hearts announces them for the pirate to answer. She wants to know why he is in Wonderland. He confirms to be looking for a woman by the name of Cora. Lowering her mask, Cora remarks that in this land, she goes by "Your Majesty", and then dismisses all her subjects so the two of them can be alone. After learning the pirate's name is Hook, she notices he has a corpse of dead man with him. Based on the rules of the portal-jumping hat, he is obviously going to take someone else back. Hook moves to tear out her heart, but nothing happens. Cora scoffs at his failed attempt since the heart is not in her chest. She plunges her hand to grab hold of Hook's heart, threatening to pull it out, unless he tells her who sent him. As he gasps in pain, Hook admits the Evil Queen wants her dead. Momentarily, Cora is fazed by the news, but forces him to tell her everything. After he is done, she lets go and returns to sit upon her throne. Cora orders Hook to aide her in returning to the Enchanted Forest, but wants his full and willing cooperation as she can give him what he desire most—Rumplestiltskin's life. She informs him of the ramifications of her daughter's curse will bring everyone to a new land, but everyone affected will lose their memories. Cora promises to allow Hook the opportunity to kill Rumplestiltskin and also keep his memories intact. Hook returns to the Enchanted Forest with Cora's body, leaving Anastasia to rule the entire realm. She feigns being dead; intending to get close enough to Regina to rip out her heart as payback for the attempted assassination. However, Cora has a change of heart when Regina sadly professes that there was no choice to but do away with her mother as she is one of her weaknesses. She recalls what Cora taught her, that love is weakness, and therefore, Regina wants to leave this emotion behind before going to the new land. She places a rose on Cora's chest and then leaves to cast the Dark Curse. Directly after, Cora recognizes her daughter still loves her, and instead she and Hook travel to an island as the curse is spreading. Once there, she casts a barrier to protect the inhabitants on corner of the island, as well as themselves, from being affected by the curse. Cora informs Hook that they will both be frozen for the next twenty-eight years until the savior breaks the curse and frees them. When the time comes, she plans to go to Regina in her greatest moment of need.[55] After the curse is broken, and Mary Margaret (Snow White) and her daughter Emma Swan are transported to the Enchanted Forest, they encounter Cora.[13] Cora learns that Regina and her adoptive son Henry are in Storybrooke, and retrieves a magical bean, following the two back to Storybrooke with Hook.[55] Cora impersonates Regina to supposedly kill Archie Hopper (Jiminy Cricket), thus causing Regina to lose Henry. She then turns a rehabilitating Regina back to evil by playing on her love for him. She seeks out the Dark One's dagger to kill their enemies,[87] though Regina returns her heart which, unbeknownst to her, has been poisoned by Mary Margaret with the same candle that Cora poisoned Snow's mother with. Upon possessing her heart, she loves Regina truly, until she dies in her arms.[87] Cora is later summoned as a ghost by Regina, in an attempt to discover the truth behind her giving away Zelena. Cora instead possesses Mary Margaret, allowing her to see her mother's dark past. Regina removes Cora's ghost from Mary Margaret's body and returns her to the spirit world. | ||||||

Ingrid/Snow Queen | Sarah Fisher | Elizabeth Mitchell Brighton Sharbino (child) |
4 | — | 10 | Deceased |
![]() She manifested her powers at a young age when she, Helga, and Gerda were attacked by a criminal. Following an incident where Helga was accidentally frozen to death because of the Duke of Weselton's trick, Gerda sealed Ingrid away in a magical urn, while mourning Helga's death and her own actions. She was released from the urn by Prince Hans, whom she then froze for calling Elsa a monster, implying that she was a "monster". She also freezes three of Hans' other older brothers as revealed by Prince Hans in "Fall". The Snow Queen later informs Elsa that she is her aunt, as she is the sister of Queen Gerda of Arendelle. At some point afterwards, Ingrid visits the Apprentice to have him ask the Sorcerer for an item that she needs to complete her family. Upon finding out that Elsa is on to her, Ingrid then used her power to have Anna turn on Elsa, which resulted in Anna imprisoning Elsa in the urn. Afterwards Ingrid freeze Anna and Kristoff. Unfortunately, Rumplestiltskin would take the urn and Anna's necklace from Ingrid as part of an exchange for the Sorcerer's hat. However, she ends up giving the hat to the Apprentice who in exchange for the item, is given the one thing she needs to complete her family, a new sister, which leads her to a portal that sends her to New York City in 1982. Once there, Ingrid bides her time until Emma showed up in Storybrooke. In Storybrooke, she works at an ice cream parlor called "Any Given Sundae", under the alias Sarah Fisher. When Elsa is brought to the town, the Snow Queen takes advantage of Elsa's ice barrier that surrounds Storybrooke. The Snow Queen places a freezing spell in Maid Marian's ice cream cone, causing her to fall into a frozen sleep. Emma soon discovers the Snow Queen and uses her magic to save Captain Hook, after she threatened to kill him. She escapes after implying that she knows Emma, whom she taunted. Sarah then uses Sidney in a plot to lure Regina into allowing her to take her magic mirror, in exchange for Sidney's freedom. It was later discovered that Sarah was Emma's foster mother in our world, having taking her in after she was caught by Social Services in Minnesota. Her true plan is later uncovered; the Snow Queen wants two new sisters to replace the ones she lost, but they must have magic like her. She also planned to use the Spell of Shattered Sight, to have the inhabitants of Storybrooke kill each other off, until only she, Elsa, and Emma are left. In hindsight, the loss of her true sisters seems to have driven Ingrid insane; she doesn't see how much Emma and Elsa despise her. Although Ingrid hasn't considered the possibility, Elsa and Emma may end up trying to stop her plans by killing her, which is pretty much the only logical option since Ingrid won't listen to reason. Later on, Ingrid allowed herself to be "captured" by Emma, implanting an ice shard in her in the process, allowing her to talk with Emma in private at the police station. When Belle discovers that the mirror in the Clock Tower was a fake, David, Mary Margret, and the others catch on to Ingrid's plan too late, and they are unable to warn Emma, as Ingrid had frozen over the police station doors shut.

After failed attempts to kill Princess Aurora's mother, Maleficent inflicts Aurora with a sleeping curse, putting both the Princess and her kingdom into a thorn-adorned ruin. Maleficent also curses her true love Prince Phillip by transforming him into a beast called the Yaoguai and banishing him to another land so that he is incapable of reaching Aurora. He remains in this form until he is found by Belle who returns him to human form. Maleficent was revealed to be pregnant with a child. With advice from Maleficent, Snow White grabs the horn of a unicorn to see into her child's future. Snow White and Prince Charming are told by a peddler that Maleficent's dragon form has laid an egg. In order to evade the prophecy that would say that their child would become corrupted by evil, Snow White and Prince Charming had no choice but to steal Maleficent's egg for the Apprentice's spell to seal their child's unreleased darkness. After putting Cruella De Vil and Ursula are put to sleep, Snow White and Prince Charming find Maleficent's egg as well as Maleficent's dragon form. Regressing back to normal upon her egg being threaten, Maleficent tries to get Snow White to not do away with her child as Snow White states that they will bring it back when they are done. They give the egg to the Apprentice to seal their daughter's darkness. Due to the spell's side effect, Maleficent's egg is transported to Earth alongside Cruella De Vil and Ursula. When Will Scarlet and Robin Hood's Merry Men invade Maleficent's castle to steal the gold there, her voice is projected into their camp telling them to return a stolen Looking Glass. She is approached at some point by the Evil Queen Regina, who trades the Dark Curse created by Rumplestiltskin, for Maleficent's sleeping curse, in order to punish Snow White. Later, in hope to find Snow White, Prince Charming is given a locating spell from Rumplestiltskin if he manages to hide a potion inside the belly of a beast (Maleficent). The witch transforms into a fire-breathing dragon, though Charming manages to place the potion within her.[11] Eventually, Maleficent gives up on her revenge against Aurora's mother, finding solace in her pet black unicorn. However, the Evil Queen, frustrated at the failure of the sleeping curse, desires the Dark Curse once more, but Maleficent refuses. Regina challenges her to a spar, eventually defeating Maleficent, but she allows Maleficent to live, saying that she is her only friend.[5] In Storybrooke, it is revealed that Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) trapped Maleficent in her dragon form and imprisoned her beneath Storybrooke's abandoned library.

Regina later travels beneath the library to retrieve the "fail-safe" trigger to destroy Storybrooke, finding Maleficent alive in an undead-like body form.[106] Upon Mr. Gold, Cruella de Vil, and Ursula getting into Storybrooke, they work to bring Maleficent back from the dead. In the underground caverns beneath the Storybrooke Library, Mr. Gold assembles the remains of Maleficent. When Cruella and Ursula obtain a special box from Mr. Gold's Pawnshop without Belle noticing, Mary Margaret and David work to keep them from getting Maleficent's remains which leads to Ursula knocking them unconscious. Taking the blood of Mary Margaret and David, Cruella places the blood on Maleficent's ashes which resurrects Maleficent as the component for this revival spell was the blood of those who wronged her the most. Maleficent then tells Mary Margaret and David that they will experience the pain that she has experienced. After putting a sleeping spell on Storybrooke, Maleficent speaks with Mr. Gold about getting the Author so that she can find out what Snow White did to the egg containing her child. When Regina was put asleep, Maleficent demands from Mr. Gold to find out her answer on her child's fate. Using the rattle as a charm, Mr. Gold looks into the past where the baby was adopted and named Lily. Maleficent tells Mr. Gold that they must find a way to reunite her with Lily. | ||||||

Emma later learns that Captain Hook had previously known Ursula during his days as a pirate. Captain Hook draws Ursula out of Mr. Gold's hideout to make a deal with Ursula to return her treasure. Using part of the Jolly Roger that Captain Hook has, Ursula uses her underwater portal ability to bring the Jolly Roger to Storybrooke in the form a bottled ship. Using a Wonderland mushroom given to them by Will Scarlet, Captain Hook and Ursula restore the Jolly Roger to its true form. Once on board, Captain Hook obtains the shell where the singing voice doesn't come out since Captain Hook states that villains don't get their happy endings. Ursula then tosses Captain Hook overboard. Ursula is unaware that Captain Hook was rescued by Ariel. After Emma frees August and Mary Margaret knocked out Cruella De Vil, Ursula attacked the group and got Mary Margaret trapped in her tentacle. In the nick of time, Captain Hook arrives with King Poseidon (who was brought here by Ariel) who tries to reason with Ursula while mentioning that he has a part of his wife in Ursula.

Prince Hans | — | Tyler Jacob Moore | 4.03, 4.09, 4.10 | Alive | ||
Hans is the archenemy of Elsa and Anna in Arendelle, who tried to take over the kingdom.
Hans, three out of twelve of his older brothers, and their army are first seen travelling to locate a mystical urn to imprison Elsa within. When at the North Valley, Hans's army attack Elsa and Kristoff in order to claim the urn. Hans holds Kristoff at swordpoint in order to get Elsa to hand over the urn. Elsa surrenders, though when Hans claims the urn and opens it, he unknowingly releases the Snow Queen, who freezes Hans while his three brothers flee only for them to end up frozen as well. Ingrid later bring both Hans, 3 of his frozen brothers, and the magic urn to the royal castle, and hides them in a wardrobe in her room. After Ingrid leaves, Arendelle thaws in 30 years, and Hans thaws and reunites with his three older brothers, as he becomes the new King of Arendelle, with his first act being to arrest Anna and Kristoff. Anna and Kristoff then run from them, as they head out to find Blackbeard. Prince Hans and his three brothers catch up to them at Blackbeard's ship. Hans revealed that they had an informant on the docks and took the swiftest ship to find them. With all of the treasury of Arendelle in his possession (which leaves Anna and Kristoff unable to barter for the Wishing Star), Prince Hans plans to send Anna and Kristoff to their deaths, by throwing them into Poseidon's Graveyard (which is where the boat that carrying Anna and Elsa's parents have sunk) within a trunk. After Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff have returned to Arendelle, it was stated that Prince Hans and his three brothers were driven out of Arendelle. | ||||||
The Apprentice | — | Timothy Webber | 4.04, 4.08, 4.09 | Alive | ||
The Apprentice is an old man who works for the Sorcerer.
The Apprentice protects his teacher's creation, a box capable of transforming into a hat for absorbing and accumulating magic, from each person that takes on the Dark One's powers. As an added measure of security, the sorcerer curses the box so those who have succumbed to darkness may never open it and only someone who has been tempted into darkness but has not given into it can do the opposite. While sweeping the grounds of the box's location, Zoso (who was the Dark One at the time) arrives in an attempt to open the guarded relic. After being magically thrown aside by Zoso, The Apprentice watches the Dark One's futile endeavor to access the box's contents only to be blasted away by the artifact's magic. Once the Apprentice informs the Dark One of why his mission will never succeed, a beaten Zoso teleports away. Years later, Zoso's successor Rumplestiltskin conspires to possess the sorcerer's box and utilize the hat within it. The Apprentice, now living in a small cottage, stores the box in his basement for safekeeping. By some method, he ingests a poison that Rumplestiltskin created which will transmutate him into a mouse. In a deal with Anna, Rumplestiltskin sends her to put a bottled substance (which she presumes to be poison) into the apprentice's tea. In actuality, it is an antidote to cure him. During one day, the Apprentice opens his door to Anna and invites her in for tea and biscuits. He even allows her to stay at his home as long as she desires. As he sweeps the floor, Anna checks on the boiling kettle. Despite Rumplestiltskin's instructions, she dumps the bottled substance into a fire. After Anna's departure from the cottage, he turns into a mouse. Since discovering the truth, Anna rushes to the apprentice's house and begs Rumplestiltskin to undo the poison's effects, but the Dark One tricks the girl into nearly succumbing to darkness but ultimately turning away from it. After Rumplestiltskin gains the box, the Apprentice's mouse form jumps onto and bites the Dark One's hand. Startled, Rumplestiltskin drops the dagger to which Anna seizes it and commands him to give the box to her. She forces him into sending her and the box to Arendelle as well as reverting the Apprentice into a human. Sometime later, the Apprentice is visited by Ingrid where she wants him to ask the Sorcerer what she needs to complete her family. After Ingrid had frozen Anna and Kristoff following her tricking Anna into imprisoning Elsa in a magical urn, she is approached in a cave by the Apprentice. In exchange that Ingrid hands him the box instead of giving it to Rumplestiltskin, he will tell her what the Sorcerer told him about Ingrid's question. Ingrid does so and the Apprentice tells her that she will need a true sister. As the sister in question is not born yet, the Apprentice tells Ingrid that the sister she requires will grow up on Earth as he manifests a portal door to take Ingrid to Earth in the 1980s. Snow White and Prince Charming are directed by a peddler to the Apprentice's house where they talk to him about the vision of Emma being corrupted. The Apprentice tells them that a blank slate would purge the darkness from their child. He warns them that once the spell is enacted, it can't be reversed. When Maleficent's egg is obtained, the Apprentice transports it alongside Cruella De Vil and Ursula to Earth as part of the spell's side effect. The Apprentice later confronts the Author for manipulating the transportation of Maleficent's egg and imprisons him for his irresponsibility. In Storybrooke, he is shown to be living in a house. Mr. Gold and Captain Hook (who goes along with Mr. Gold's plan to get rid of his "cursed" hand) visit his house in order to get him to activate the box upon using a transformed broom to trace his location. Once Mr. Gold opens the box and utilizes the hat's power, the Apprentice is sucked into the Hat. | ||||||
— | Lilith "Lily" | Nicole Munoz | 4.05 | Alive | ||
Lilith (whose nickname is "Lily") is the daughter of Maleficent where the egg that she was hatched from ended up on Earth as a side effect of the Apprentice's spell. As an orphan baby, Lily is adopted into a family in Hopkins, Minnesota. She begins feeling invisible and unseen. Deciding to run away from home, she takes her father's credit card and disappears.
In 1998 after Emma ran away from the orphanage in Boston, Lily first met Emma when she spotted her eyeing a Pop-Tarts box. When Emma notices her, Lily walks out of the aisle. Realizing the girl is stealing the box, she grabs a shopping cart and covers for Emma just as the blonde is nearly frisked by a store employee. Relieved, Emma expresses gratitude, to which Lily flashes a credit card. Instructing her to use this method next time rather than stuffing stolen goods under a jacket (which is a common shoplifting trick). Emma begins leaving, but Lily suggests they team up. After buying food and exiting the store, Lily sees her father racing down the street in his car to haul her home. She escapes with Emma into an alley where they duck for cover as a van pulled up in front of her father's car. Later, they stop at a nearby lake and have a picnic with their food. Lily learns Emma is originally from a Boston group home and she ran away after realizing no one is going to adopt her. Emma assumes the man from earlier is Lily's social worker, but her new friend hides the truth. Pointing out a house across the lake, Lily explains that it's vacant during the fall season and she wants to crash there with Emma who happily agrees. Inside the house following a video game session, Emma sees a star imprint on Lily's wrist. Lily imagines the star makes herself special and she then draws a matching one on Emma's wrist. Upon finding a camera, they record themselves goofing off. Growing close, Lily and Emma promise to remain friends no matter what. That night, her father arrives which awakens both girls and Emma learns of Lily's lies. While sitting in a car, Lily jolts down her contact information so Emma can find her once everything blows over and they will run away together. Emma is hurt at her lies, but Lily attests everything she spoke of is real despite having a family she hates. Emma then walks away upon being lied to as Lily calls out her name. This event caused Emma to develop a mistrust in other people which lasted for years. Many years later, Emma came to regret walking off on Lily. With Captain Hook in her company, Emma revisited the footage of her and Lily where the footage after that played a key part in helping Emma identify the Snow Queen as one of Emma's foster parents. With help from Mr. Gold, Maleficent discovered that Lily is her long-lost child and plans to reunite with her. | ||||||

As Ingrid was about to attack The Duke, he placed Helga in front of him, resulting in Ingrid killing Helga instead.

The Duke, as a result of seeing Ingrid's power and rejecting his advances, vowed to expose Ingrid, only to have Helga see through his lies and defend Ingrid. As Ingrid was about to stop him, The Duke placed Helga in front of him, resulting in her death by Ingrid, and he escapes before Gerda arrives.
