Also, for those who haven’t seen Oz the Great and Powerful, that necklace wasn’t just a fashion accesory. She drew her power from just as Glinda drew it from her wand and Theodora from her ruby ring. *SPOILER ALERT* When Glinda snatches the necklace off, it breaks the spell that hid the way she really looked. She was so wicked that she was an old ugly yellow hag, while her sister was a green (and much more attractive) green witch >> so if they saw her in some sort of costume and she is the witch of the east, I’m sure they saw her like that. Yellow, and haggy
Yep. I couldn’t remember the details but remembered that each of them had an object they got their powers from, so googled to give myself a refresher and BOOM, emerald pendant that looks similar to what Rebecca’s wearing, and my that-cannot-be-a-coincidence-Oncer-spidey-senses had a little freak out. LOL It’s not necessarily the same exact thing here though. If the Onceiverse is gonna have the East and West witches be separate characters, and if Rebecca’s playing one of them, West is far more likely, because she’s the better known/characterised of the two, and as some of you have pointed out, that costume looks Gulch-ish. So maybe that thing she’s wearing did belong to her sister, but it didn’t get destroyed like it did in Oz Great & Powerful. Maybe East’s body died, but this pendant still contains her powers, and so West is keeping it safe.
Let’ s see, I am going to go with she’s Snow’s aunt, Eva’s sister. Since they had the “slippers” line about Eva and Eva was good (when she got older) maybe she is one of the witches, and this new villain is Glinda the evil sister mashed into the Wicked Witch of the West (so both characters).
So that makes her Emma’s grandaunt.
Here’s the thing I cut and pasted together the last time this slippers topic was discussed, (image on the left is an illustration from the original book, on the right is Eva’s “slippers”)…
