Like i said, i think that Emma is just Emma, Snow and Charming’s heir which, of course, makes her a princess. I just think that she is going to do a lot of things that happen in classic fairy tales like all of the similarities to Sleeping Beauty in the last episode and the hints at Snow White’s story with the apple tart. And i think they are going to continue with that especially now that she believes. I don’t think that makes her any of those characters because she is supposed to be a new fairytale character, but then again a lot fairytales have similarities in the story. Like the prince finds the girl or the regular boy that becomes a king and such. And i think
Emma will do a lot of those things as the series goes along.
Emma is Emma, but doesn’t mean what we’re watching now is how Emma is becoming the Swan Princess. Like Pinnocchio, Emma can have her story in our world as well.

I never connected Emma to the Swan Princess, probably because Disney didn’t do that movie. And her name was Odette. My neice used to be obsessed with that movie. I always thought the Swan referred to The Ugly Duckling. In that story, the ugly ducking felt left out and like it didn’t belong. It was never really part of the group. Then it grew up into a beautiful swan and found it’s own kind and happiness. That’s Emma. She didn’t belong to anyone as a child or up till now. She’s finally blossoming into a swan and has found her family and place in the world.
That’s Swan Lake not Swan Princess. Disney did do Swan Princess and is based on Swan Lake.
It wasn’t the Disney company. I know my Disney shows. It was another movie company, but not Disney.

You’re correct that it’s based on Swan Lake, but her name was Odette in The Swan Princess, too. I still know most of the songs and have a copy somewhere. I must of had to watch it a million times. My neice used to be in love with Prince Derek and loved the “Princesses on Parade” scene while my nephew loved Rothbart.
And I didn’t mean that she was actually the Ugly Duckling in the story, just that it sums up what her character has been through and the connection to the name Swan and why they picked it.
Yes, the Swan Lake is by another company, which may be difficult getting the rights of if the creators would like to take Emma’s character there.
I think it was Once Upon a Time wiki did I see an interview saying that Adam named Emma, Emma “Swan” because of the tale of the Ugly Duckling. So Josephine is right on the eye there.
Also, could Emma may be the Black Swan from Swan Lake? She may also be the White Swan too, but her and Regina have a lot in common.
One: both their lovers got their heart crushed (Graham and Daniel). Two both adore Henry. Both have similar taste in men (Graham).Both have strong and vengeful personalities (Regina with Snow White and Emma now with Regina (she did say she was going to take someone that she loves)). Both have magic.
I’m pretty sure next season Emma is going to have a battle not only with Regina and all the mean people of storybrooke, but also herself.
