For Once Upon a Time episode 2.21, the role of Heidi is being cast. She’s 13, British, and also described as being compassionate, mischievous, and somewhat naive about how dangerous the world can be
Ok, the code name was Heidi when they had the code names for Aurora and Mulan didn’t they use the 1st letter of each code name to represent them if that is the case the letter H, wouldn’t work for Tinkerbell or Ariel am I wrong on this code name stuff ❓

If she was Wendy, wouldn’t she be to young for the lost boys since they are 16 and she would be 13?
Once Upon a Time’s finale!
The ABC fantasy hit is currently casting three 16-year-old boys who are part of a sinister group. The leader Felix is tough, while the other two are identical twins and all three roles could becoming recurring. Hmm…could we be meeting the Lost Boys?!What about Heidi been Rapunzel?
Where is the casting call for the 2nd girl? ❓
April 7, 2013 at 8:06 pm #184837RumplesGirlKeymasterWell I don’t know why having a 13 yr old Wendy is a problem for 16 yr old boys. It’s not a romantic thing, they’re young boys who are orphans and she becomes a mother-esque figure for them. The other option for “Heidi” is Tink. If we’re right that Laine MacNeil (who is 15 in real life) has been cast for “Heidi” then she could play either Wendy or Tink, she has the look of either of them.
Also, Rapunzel: doubtful. S3 is going to be, at least for the first half if not the whole season, about NL/Pan/Lost Boys and Hook. Throwing the Rapunzel mythology into the mix makes very little sense. At least with Ariel there are established mermaids in Neverland that they can play with.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"April 7, 2013 at 8:23 pm #184838HappyEndingsSpectatorI think a 13 year is to young for a Wendy to manage the lost boys in my opinion. Besides I think the Lost Boys would treat like a sister instead of a mother since she would be 3 years younger. Maybe Tink?
Boy, I hope we don’t waste any more time on Hook we need a new story that has kind of run its course. The writers did say that they wanted Rapunzel, with Ariel plus doing an Aladdin thing also.
This season we had a lot of new chararters Dr Whale, The Giaint, Tamera/Greg, Aurora, Mulan, Phillip and the Dragon so hopefully they will add some thing new to the mix instead of just Hook and Ariel 😐
April 7, 2013 at 8:33 pm #184839RumplesGirlKeymasterWendy’s age: maybe. But in the story, she’s manages her two younger brothers. She’s the adult. That’s a lot of what Peter Pan is about. Wendy is in that inbetween stage between childhood and adulthood. The Disney movie actually opens with her father wanting Wendy to leave the nursery and grow up but she’s already a very responsible person. And the Lost Boys, at least how they’re depicted in the Disney film, are very young because they’ve never had to grow up and have never had a parent.
Hook’s story this season has been very one note but that’s probably going to change a lot with us being in Neverland and the whole Peter Pan story playing out somehow. His revenge on Rumple story may fade into the background, but they still have a lot more to tell about Hook.
We did get a lot of new characters this season but I actually think that the influx of new people hurt the show this season. It was way too much at times. I didn’t really need an entire story devoted to the giant and Jack nor do I want to see Jack ever again. I like Dr. Whale and it was good to finally know who he was, but I don’t really want to see more of his background, though I do like him as a minor character. And even if they do want to do Rapunzel, they don’t need to do it this season. We want this show to last, so putting a ton of new characters into a season where they don’t need to be just for the sake of having them there is only going to drive away the casual viewers who are sick of seeing new people. Same goes with Aladdin. Having Aladdin in a season where they are going to spend most of it probably in NL doesn’t make sense. I would rather wait and have a S4 and S5 than to have it all crammed in.
New things are good but I the story is still about our core cast so they should only introduce new characters who are going to have a lasting impact on the core cast. Ariel, for instance, will most likely appear next season and hopefully play a large role and not just be a one time episode."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"April 7, 2013 at 10:37 pm #184856HappyEndingsSpectatorYea, I agree with you on all the new people I want to just go back to the main characters too. This Season 2 will mostily filler episodes, I too didn’t want any more Dr shows etc.
Maybe you are right could be Wendy after all. 😎

I know they bring their own twists to the stories, but, the fact that Peter Pan was a 14 yr old boy is one of his main characteristics.
To change that one crtical factor in any way would be a huge disservice to such an iconic character, even for K&H….especially considering that PP is their all time favorite character.Why do people want hook to be pan so bad? The whole pan vs. hook conflict is great. You can’t take that away. Peter Pan is suppose to represent innocence (which Bae clearly represented as well) and Hook represents how corrupt adults become. You need the conflict between them to show any resemblance to the original story.

There wasn’t one.
Which is odd and I think means whatever role Freya Tingly (the second girl, I presume) is playing is huge.
