    OK I came up with a idea, and was wondering what all the fans would think about it.

    So we know Emma was born in Fairytale Land, as the daughter of Snow and Charming. I am posturing that Emma would grow up, if they were not magically sent to Storybook, ME.

    There really isn’t much to prove with this, but I would say that if Emma did grow up in Fairytale Land, she would become the Wizard Merlin!!!!

    If Disney can make Jack a female character, then the rules, of what we may have been told by the Brothers Grimm, Mary Shelley, (writer of Frankenstein) J. M. Barrie (writer of Peter Pan) can be tossed out the providable window.

    So Emma as Merlin, is of Good Magic, and as we know Emma has started to show magical powers. She is good, and kind, and was raised by good, and kind, parents, so there should be any change when she grows up to become a full fledged Wizard.

    SO, what are everybody’s thoughts?

    Good or bad I don’t mind.

    On this show, anything is possible. I think Emma will be an incredible force for good. I think she’s going to be an amazing sorceress. But she’s got a lot to learn. They may not make her Merlin but they will have her be extra powerful.

    K&H, the writers, have said Emma is just Emma.
    She doesn’t have a counterpart.
    They said that this -OUAT – is her story and it’s being told now 🙂

    They also said that her name, Swan, is a nod to the Ugly Duckling story and also a nod to the Swan Station on LOST 🙂

    Think Emma is Emma, or that is how I prefer it, a new character in the tales. No version, variation of some known fairy tale, fantasy or legendary character. That means no burden of expectations and background and big mythology coming with being a known character. Doesn’t exclude nods and references to known characters or tales while telling her story, but gives the writers all freedom for her character and story.

    ¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯

    that doesn’t fit. Lancelot and Merlin were around at the same time… actually Merlin was pretty old when Lancelot got to King Arthur’s court, and since Lancelot is dead… Emma couldn’t be Merlin
