    Or if she IS the creature, and is being kept there to protect everyone else?

    that would be VERY OUAT.

    I don’t think David had his sword in that photo did he?

    Like, maybe her mother died in childbirth (which is why we got no hints of casting for her) and it was really traumatic circumstances, and so some of her mother’s tormented spirit went into the baby, (trying to tie this back to how the Grudge curse came to be), and it can affect her in some way that makes her dangerous in a possession sorta way? And so we don’t actually have a separate Mother Gothel type character, because it’s the spirit of her actual mother that means she has to be kept locked up, so she’s not a danger to anyone. And maybe she’s not allowed sharp objects lest she be a danger to herself, and that’s why her hair never gets cut.

    If it’s a situation like that, where she’s sort of possessed, I could maybe see Rumple taking an interest in her, (he could be the hooded figure), because he’s sort of possessed too? Maybe he had an idea of how he might free himself, but needed a guinea pig to test it on first? Maybe Rapunzel’s supernatural connection with her mother, and Rumple learning about that, could go some way to explaining why both Pan and Rumple had to die?

    The mother dying in childbirth would be a riff on the classic tale–the mother craves a veggie so much that her husband steals from a witch.

    Maybe the witch gave the mother the food and the price of magic was her death.

    Ok, so Rapz is held in a tower like Belle was with Regina another parallel story.

    Perhaps David has to do what Hook, bring someone to the Witch to free Rapz.

    I don’t know if I’d call it a parallel story. Rapunzel being locked in a tower is *literally* the story of Rapunzel. Belle was being held hostage so Regina could someday use her in her fight against Rumple. but Rapunzel being locked up is just the actual story. Sorta like how both Aurora and Snow were put under sleeping curses but the curses themselves have nothing to do with each other–it’s just the traditional story.

    With that said, David probably frees Rapunzel somehow, though I would expect it to be more heroic and knightly than simply bringing the Witch/hooded figure something.
