Remember now there are 4 queens in the Alice stories (Wonderland and thru the Looking Glass). Queens’ of Hearts, White and Red. One of them ended up being Alice herself. Alice at the end of Looking Glass was crowned queen after reaching the eight rank and checkmating the red king.
Number of queens in the original story doesn’t mean much because on this show they blend characters. I mean, since when has the Genie also been the Mirror, and Rumple is Belle’s Beast. In the Tim Burton version of Alice, QoH and White Queen were feuding sisters, if memory serves, so there’s every chance they could go down a similar path, or any new path, with those characters on Once.
There are also many different versions of Alice in Wonderland too. Some blending Through the Looking Glass into it, some not; others make Alice an adult revisiting Wonderland; while on version she asleep goes there becomes and adult wakes up and she’s a kid again. I beg to differ….we do not know what part in time of the Wonderland story this is nor which version they intend to do. They are not going to do a story arc and just use three characters only. Every story needs side characters, supporting characters and minor characters. Yes, in this case it does matter. They have not explained nor said or suggested anything to any effect. These theories are all possible and all can fit but another question is how does Wonderland fit or relate to FTL. That is the most important question to ask in this case. Other than shared characters the 2 worlds to me seem to not have a connection yet. Three characters have been confirmed to have been in Wonderland who is from FTL. Other than that no clear connection. Wonderland, I’m calling it is a prison world.
