Could this episode be (partly) covering Aurora’s backstory?
I don’t know why, but Edith reminds me of a Merryweather. Maybe Katerina (Aurora’s mother?) needs to hide baby Aurora from Maleficent, so she gives her to Edith, who hides her in the forest to raise as her own. ??
Don’t know how Tamara/Tianna fits in. ^
I think Katrina is the royal whom Edith serves. Edith could also be Tamara’s mother who wants to keep her daughter in service. However, as a dreamer, Tamara doesn’t conform to her mother’s expectations and dreams of opening her own restaurant like Tiana did in “The Princess and the Frog” Disney cartoon. Tamara’s casting call certainly fits that character.
The recurring guest role (recurring role according to some sources) of Tamara is being cast. She is described as African American, Late 20s to mid 30s. She’s beautiful, artistic, relaxed, friendly, charming and smart. She’s also ambitious, fearless and a born leader, and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants.
The fact that’s she’s “ambitious” and “won’t stop until she gets what she wants” sounds like a line from the song Tiana sung called “I’m Almost There” which can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO0abpVd5UI
