The real Big Bads of the season appear to be the Coven of Eight Witches. Who are these Eight (including Ana and Gothel). Are they famous witches from fairy tales or all new characters? And what exactly are they hoping to achieve?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This was one of the only bright spots of the episode I love the thought of 8 witches from fairy tales (not necessarily Disney) coming together to create havoc. Unfortunately we have used a lot of the witches already so who is left I am not sure, but I hope they can develop this into something interesting.
-Gothel
-Ana
-Robyn maybe under coercion (born of Zelena)
-Alice maybe under coercion (born of Gothel)
-Regina under coercion
-Zelena under coercion
-Maleficent
-Lily (born of Malificient)
(Elsa? Lady with the tentacles? Past Wish Realm Regina? Other Regina’s baby?)
Bigger questions are….
1) why does Gothel want the 8 together? What does she want to achieve?
2) Why does she have to have a curse cast in order to gather them in a LWM rather than in EF1, Realm-at-the-Edge-Of Realms or wherever she is? Is it because she needs to involve the witches under coercion as I have suggested above??? Or is it because witches 7 and 8 are Mal and Lily (like I suggested) who were still living their lives quietly in LWM?
As for the guardian, maybe they are the guardian of the coven rather than the guardian of the realms.
Keeper of Regina's bravery
I sort of thought the witches were just going to be new characters. Not anyone we have seen already. That is why they had hoods on, so that they can add in characters on a whim. They could easily just be different versions of characters we have already seen.

That’s what I thought they might do. So they could have New!EF Maleficent and cast an entirely new actress like they did with Alice and Ella.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah, i think that everyone from now on is going to be new characters. They let Emma, Snow, Charming, and Belle go. I think with them pretty much all the old story went, so Maleficent and Lily and all of the old witches from Storybrooke are gone. Whatever they introduce is going to be from the new storybook.
I know it said in that article that Regina and Zelena might be two of the witches, but that doesn’t really make sense to me. I guess they could be if they are threatened to use their power just like Regina was threatened to do the curse.
I really enjoyed the menace factor of the eight witches, but I was disappointed when it was revealed that all the cloaks were empty.
It reminded me of when the Dark Ones came to Storybrooke and we only got to see Nimue. Just a lot of excitement leading to a bit of a letdown.

After re-watching the scene, I do think that Regina was supposed to be 1 of the 8. Drizella said she had 7 of the 8 ingredients needed to cast the Curse, and Regina’s specific magic was the last thing she needed. I don’t believe that Zelena can be included though, because there were already 7 hooded witches in that scene, and in the earlier scene at the birthday party there were 5 hooded witches on the ledge behind Gothel and Drizella. So it’s Gothel, Drizella/Ana, Regina, plus 5 still to be revealed.
Yeah, that makes sense. It just seems weird to me that they would be included, but i guess having six new characters is a bit much as well. That plotline could really drag out, like reveal them so that they can defeat them already. I hope that it is less obvious then Zelena was when she was supposed to be baby Neal’s nanny.
All of those tridents converge at the symbol’s hub, so I’d guess a ninth person goes there — Ana, possibly, if Gothel uses her to drain seven more witches of their magic. Which could make Gothel the tenth witch, if all eight on the rim are just resources for Gothel’s spell. Maybe those cloaks are empty because their wearers have already been sacrificed.
