As much as I don’t want August to be Pinocchio, I think there are lots of indicators that point in that direction. As Phee theorized, I think the fact that the puppet is found in what appears to be Lake Gnostos could be a nice tie-in to when August told Emma about the well water fed by a magic lake. Also, Pinocchio loved to go on adventures, and so does August. Plus, we haven’t seen Pinocchio’s counterpart in SB. Finally, in the pilot episode, Geppetto’s SB counterpart said how much he wanted a child, but he and his wife never could have children. We’ll have to wait and see.
