I am not sure that Aurora is also the Anastasia from the casting call. I guess they could have put those names in, but i am not sure.
I wonder how Aurora can still be young when supposedly the incident with Maleficent and the Sleeping curse was in the past. That doesn’t make sense to me unless Aurora is just a recurring character in fairytale land which i guess is possible but sort of seems unlikely
Unless Anastasia is her real world name, but why would characters be having two names still. That doesn’t make sense to me, unless they are trying to keep their identity a secret from Snow, Charming, and Emma. Like i could see bad guys doing that.
I wondered about that, too. Then again, in the original Sleeping Beauty fairy tale she sleeps for 100 years! So they could work with that. Maybe she was only awakened shortly before the curse … I know Maleficent said that Aurora thwarted her plans when she was the same age as Snow/young Regina, but maybe she meant that she fell asleep instead of dying. Guess we’ll have to wait and see, what Horowitz&Kitsis show us. 🙂
