    Once Upon a Fan is reporting a new casting call:

    The guest role of Helena is being cast. She’s a 30-year-old brunette who is a sophisticated lady and also a fierce hunter of deadly creatures.

    Helena is a Greek name originally, which makes me wonder if this is a hint towards Greek mythology.

    Thanks for the info! 😀

    That’s an interesting casting call. I love the idea of the show introducing more Greek mythology. Given the fact that her name is of Greek origin and she’s a huntress, maybe she’ll turn out to be Artemis. She was the goddess of animals and the wild.

    Hee, hee since Helena is described as a brunette and in her 30s, I must make my obligatory “it’s Bae” post. Rumple is sure going to be surprised when he runs into Bae again.

    Seriously though Helena does bring to mind Greek mythology specifically an Amazon or Artemis. I don’t really know if Helena will actually is a code name or not because she could end up like Quinn or Anita.

    Here’s a neat link to women warriors in folklore while we wait for more information about episode 13, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_warriors_in_folklore.

    If she’s in Storybrooke, I wonder if she’s going to be hired by Cora and/or Hook to go after Ruby possibly. Or if Gerhardt is going to be in episode 12, maybe he’s still on the loose as a monster in this episode, and Helena pops up as someone who helps bring him down.

    ETA: Looks like An Empty Heart and I had the same idea about Helena possibly being Artemis. Jinx! 😀

    ^Ha ha! We certainly did! 😀

    And of course! she has to Bae! It makes so much sense now!

    Just kidding. 😆

    ^Ha ha! That would actually be kind of cool! I wonder if the show would ever consider introducing super heroes? Hmmm…probably not.

    New theory, forget Peter Pan, Bae totally became Wonder Woman. No wonder it’s taken Rumple so long to try and track him down. 😛

    Anyway, yes, the name Helena does suggest Greek mythology.

    Do we know which ep Barrett is gonna show up? *googling* Ep 11, apparently. Was wondering if the two characters might be linked. Same age, and she’s a “fierce hunter of deadly creatures” and he “has a very dark side and has beliefs and a way of life that he will fight fiercely to defend”. If they’re not both showing up in the same ep though, it’s probably unlikely that they’re linked.

    Could be the Barrett flashback episode, though. 🙂 You bring uo a good point.

    And WHY Brunette?? Why is that so critical…:/ That’s either suspicious or my paranoia has just reached new heights…

    But they’ve NEVER specified hair color before. Not even for “JACK”/Neal.

    Ha ha! Someone on another forum said that Helena is Xena! 😆 I’d die if that were true! 😆

    Maybe this new character is Mina Harker?

    They’ve already included Frankenstein, why not elements of Dracula as well?

    All magic comes with a price!
