For Once Upon A Time in Wonderland episode 1.04, the recurring role of Liz/Lizard is being cast. She’s a 25-year-old adorable tomboy. Also, the guest role of Amara, a powerful and beautiful sorceress from Agrabah.

Heads up: I moved this to the spoiler thread for 104. 🙂
Lizard?? I don’t even know what to do with that.
Amara sounds like Jasmine except for the sorceress part. Jafar’s wife?

Could Liz be an older version of Merida, the Scottish princess who is a tomboy from Brave? Yet, the name “Lizard” seems strange unless a dragon or reptile is being cast.
Also, the guest role of Amara, a powerful and beautiful sorceress from Agrabah.
I agree that Agrabah signifies Jasmine, but she was never a sorceress, just a princess. However, in Arabic, Amira means princess, so it could be that this version of Jasmine will have magical ability.

August 21, 2013 at 9:28 pm #206140RumplesGirlKeymasterDidn’t we have a casting call for someone that we also thought was Jasmine?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"August 21, 2013 at 9:40 pm #206141RumplesGirlKeymasterHere is that other casting call. It’s from 102. Now I’m doubting that Silvermist is Jasmine afterall.
For episode 1.02 of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, the following roles are being cast: Silvermist, a beautiful 20-something Asian looking for revenge; Bearded Man/Farzeen Shahmed, a 40-year-old Middle Eastern man who sells scarves; and Old Prisoner, a 60-year-old Middle Eastern man who was imprisoned by Jafar 10 years ago. The Old Prisoner is a recurring guest role.

I believe (from the tv series of Aladdin, that Jafar had a sorceress sister….but her name was Nasira I think.

She was from a videogame. I saw the name and was like, I don’t remember Jafar having a sister in the movies.
August 22, 2013 at 10:05 am #206235PheeParticipantYep, just in the game. Though she’s based on a sibling of the sorcerer in the original Aladdin story, so I could see them taking inspiration from both sources and giving their Jafar a sister, (K&H do love a messed up family storyline).
In the original tale of Aladdin, the evil magician (whom Jafar was based on) had a younger brother who wanted revenge on Aladdin for killing his older brother. The younger brother went to visit a woman and murdered her, taking her identity. Dressed up as the woman, he went to the palace, where a slave of the princess told her that a holy woman had come. The princess went to see ‘her’ and the younger brother offered her a prayer of prosperity. The princess begged him to stay with her forever. He agreed, but kept his veil on, so he wouldn’t be discovered. After suggesting to the princess to put a roc’s egg in the hall, Aladdin asked his genie to make it so. The genie calls Aladdin a fool and reveals who the ‘woman’ really was. Aladdin called the ‘woman’ in and once the younger brother arrived in his disguise, Aladdin grabbed a dagger and stabbed the brother in the heart, killing him. The original tale of Aladdin ends there. Nasira is most likely based on that character.
August 22, 2013 at 10:13 am #206237RumplesGirlKeymasterI really want to know how the Aladdin myth fits into this. Didn’t they say that Cyrus is just a genie, their Genie, not THE GENIE of the lamp. If he was then this would fit together rather nicely, but I don’t get why Jafar is so against Alice and Cyrus if Cyrus is just an all original genie.
