Quite a while back I laid out my theory that Regina is Snow’s mother. I still believe this is possible and Snow is the hole in her heart. Cora wanted Regina to become queen and she was willing to do whatever it took to make it happen. If Regina had an early love and became pregnant with a child that would have destroyed Cora’s plans. Her child could have been given away…stolen away…or taken away by Cora. Have you ever noticed how big Mary Margaret’s ears look sometimes…almost like a little baby Dumbo. When Regina was brushing young Snow’s hair there is an elephant statue in the room. I have compiled photos on my twitter. This is my very favorite theory.
I’ve had an even crazier thought…I’m not sure if it is even possible but what if we had a Peter Pan situation and Regina was actually Snow’s daughter. It seems unlikely this is possible but I go back to the picture of pregnant Mary Margaret in the blue dress with the pink coat. These are the same colors that Regina and Snow were wearing when Regina rescu/ed Snow from the runaway horse.
I think Regina’s happy ending is Snow becoming who she is meant to be. I think there is so much more to this story than we can begin to imagine.
I’ve posted in my other thread the idea that Mary Margaret/Snow White’s stories were manipulated to make her the hero. She wears a key very similar to the key to the Storybook.
If this is true…whether mother/daughter, daughter/mother, step-mother/daughter, sister/sister…whatever the connection. I think Regina’s happy ending has everything to do with the book ending correctly and Snow being redeemed and restored. So many have stepped up willing to die for someone else? Regina with the big diamond failsafe…Emma when she stood in front of Snow when Cora was going to rip out Snow’s heart…Rumple when he killed himself and Pan…Hook when Emma ran him through with the sword…even David when he jumped in front of the queen and took the arrow…but has Snow stepped up to die for anyone? Maybe she has and I have forgotten. Maybe she will step in and truly become the hero everyone thinks she already is.
