    The QoH and Regina act like rivals and there is more rivalry amongst sisters than mothers and daughters. Saying, “I’m the only Queen and she’s just Regina!”, sound like something someone was say to a brother or sister. “I’m an NFL quarterback, he’s just a football player!”

    QoH is Cora’s first born does make sense to me. Great theory!
    Rumpel tell’s Cora something like “…she’ll be treated like royality … even have her own kingdom…”. But the ‘magic comes with a price’ aspect is when the daughter becomes the keeper of hearts because her mother (Cora) was heartless in giving her up to gain more magic/power.

    Maybe the father Henry was there visiting his oldest daughter and got stuck. But why couldn’t he leave?… hmmm

    Ref: QoH is Cora’s first born. I wonder when the deal was done– as an infant or maybe it was an arranged marriage, like Regina’s? And where is father Henry in all this ‘wheeling and dealing’ of his children?

    Maybe the QoH is Cora’s daughter but not Henry’s. A step daughter would have enough disdain for a step father to want to capture him and besides it is an easier sell. Cora does treat Henry the same way she treats Regina so it does fit. That could explain why Regina can’t ever live up to Cora’s expectations and why Henry’s whipped.

    After watching last night’s episode “The Stable Boy,” I am more convinced than ever that Regina has an older sibling. We now know (for sure) that Cora is the Miller’s daughter. She makes quite a few references about sacrifices for power in Stable Boy. I DO NOT feel she was able to keep her first born from Rumple (One of the many sacrifices she needed to make). I also feel she too had to sacrifice her true love, hence her diatribe about love being an illusion. Is the QOH Regina’s sister, can’t say for sure. But she is the Queen of HEARTS and we have now seen that pulling out and keeping hearts is a family trait.

    I am really liking this theory. If Cora was the millers daughter, she made the deal with Rumpel for her first born. Her powers to me seem very similar to Rumpels. As far as collecting the first born, I can see Rumpel winning that round, or them making a good deal about where the first born would go. (Same idea as the twins and placing one with the King) What if Regina found out her mothers secret? Used Jefferson previously to get into Wonderland and meet her ‘sister’, in the hopes of angering the QoH into helping with revenge against Cora (this all after Stable Boy obviously). It could have backfired with the QoH instead of joining Regina, chose to take out her anger on both of them and take away father Henry from both Regina AND Cora. Later on once Regina got her mother out of the picture and gained enough leverage, she traveled back to Wonderland with Jefferson to retrieve her father. They are all in the same family somehow. Too many resemblances. I can see Regina always feeling like the unwanted child, the one who got the short end of the stick. If she would have been the first born (and her mother made the same deal) SHE would have been QoH. Its all about bitterness with the Queen. She feels wronged by more than just losing Daniel. She feels wronged somehow with her entire existence.
