The Dark Realm seems very similar to the one in the Buffy episode Anne. They take kids/teenagers, make them work as slaves then chuck them out when they’re too old to be of any use. The time moves faster aspect is the same too.

Right but she got swept up in the dark curse. So she didn’t age for years. Black Fairy as far as we know, did not. Plus she lives in a realm where time flies and you age fast. Is she immune to the dark realm’s faster time speed or do fairies just not age at all?

Yeah but she was the same age when she met Baelfire 150+ years before the Dark Curse as she was before the Dark Curse happened when she was counseling Snow and then when the Dark Curse happened. So yeah, they don’t age.

Ahh yes, right. The one thing we never truly got that I cared about was a backstory for Blue and how fairies work etc. Perhaps Black Fairy’s centric will shed a little light on it.
April 13, 2017 at 3:06 pm #336015Jiminy’s JournalParticipanttechnically she was the millers daughter before she was a mother. The only original (main) characters are Emma, Henry, and Neal. We have original side characters to (Lily, Dragon, Tamara, etc) but Cora no count. Unless we count the likes of Greg and Tamara, I think Black Fairy is the first central villain who is original.
Right in the show’s timeline, she was first the Miller’s daughter. However, in how the story unfolded to the audience, she was simply Regina’s over-protective mother who wanted power. So she started out as an original character, then they molded her story to fit with previous told literature. That’s why I count Cora.
There were hints dropped in “The Stable Boy” that Cora was the Miller’s Daughter. Also, in “Hat Trick” (one episode earlier), Barbara Hershey dubbed all of the Queen of Hearts’ lines, albeit uncredited (if you turn up the volume, you can tell it’s her). She was always meant to be both characters.
Edit: Come to think of it, the hints may have been in “We are Both,” but she was always meant to be the Queen of Hearts.
April 13, 2017 at 3:35 pm #336016TheWatcherParticipantyeah, in hindsight it was always obvious Cora was always intended to be the queen of hearts. Her name literally means heart, she had hearts on her cloak, and her spellbook had a heart on it. Regina having been named Mills is also an indication teh writers must have been thinking ahead. I dont think she counts at all.

I started late, so I already knew the Queen of Hearts’ name was Cora and was played by Barbara Hershey. So, for me, the twist was that she was Regina’s mother (in “The Stable Boy”), not that she was the Queen of Hearts (in “Queen of Hearts”)!

I think “Mills” might have also come from the Greek word for “apple.”

Barbara Hershey’s voice can also be heard in “Hat Trick”, during the scene with Jefferson and the Queen of Hearts. So that was an instance where they planned it all along.
