I agree that if there is a mother Gothel in the tale (and there probably will be) she’s going to be someone we are already familiar with. Mal makes sense as does Regina. This is why I’m inclined to think 314 is a Snowing episode. I think Rapunzel is in the past and Snow tries to bust her out of her tower during her bandit years, cause who would understand being hunted and trapped by an evil witch better than Snow? It’s more or a less a gender swap making Snow the “Prince” who rescues Rapunzel and given that they’ve race swapped, why not? Turn all expectations on their head, I say.
