I still think that Emma’s true self isn’t just a sad one. It is sad, but there’s so much more than that, and Emma is so much more than that.
I don’t think any one person can fit into a category of “one”
Emma is an orphan. But she’s also more than that: she’s everything she said to the map before she admitted to being an orphan. She’s a bail bonds person, a sheriff, a daughter, a princess, TL incarnate, the Savior. But it’s the Orphan one that she’s been denying for so long. She’s pushed that aside in her head because she found her parents, only it wasn’t what she thought it would be. She is a everything I said above, but she’s been neglecting that orphan inside her and I think that’s what Pan wanted: to get her to see that.
