Theory About Belle

[evilqueen]

Hm, to me, the most intriguing sentence here is And Belle is going to find new obstacles and challenges. As in, on top of her memory loss?! They’ve got me curious now…

[Phee]

My hope with this Belle situation is that they don’t fix her too quickly. They don’t need to drag it out forever either, but I’d prefer to not have it solved in the next ep, the way Archie’s disappearance was. I’d like this to be an opportunity for Rumple to take a big step in improving himself in order to win Belle back somehow. I’d also like a few eps to get to see Belle’s SB alternate persona. So no quick fixes, pretty please.

Doubt even the Blue Fairy knows how to. Don’t remember the Blue Fairy saying, that she would need her wand to help Sneezy. Only remember the dwarfs telling Sneezy / Clark, that they are going to mine for fairy dust to get back what he lost, his memory. Since then there was no more talk about how to get Sneezy’s memory back. And regaining the memory wasn’t high on the to-do-list (but don’t remember all lines of all episodes by heart yet 😉 so maybe someone can tell when she said it?)

I think the only time she mentioned her wand was in Broken…

Mother Superior: Magic. It’s here. I can feel it.

Henry: Magic? In Storybrooke? You’re the Blue Fairy. Do something magical.

Mother Superior: It’s not quite that simple, Henry. No wand, no fairy dust… Matters are complicated, now.
(There are transcripts of all the eps at http://ouattranscripts.wordpress.com/index/ which come in very handy. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve used that site to check who said what to who and when.)

That wasn’t said specifically in relation to curing Sneezy though. Regarding that…

Leroy: Don’t worry, brother. You’ve lost something. It’s going to take fairy dust to get it back. So, we’re going to do what we do best. Come on, boys. It’s off to work we go.

I don’t think they knew specifically how the fairy dust would work to bring his memory back, but it was the best option they had, so they went mining for diamonds because it’s all they knew to do to hopefully help the situation.

Back to Kellyn’s actual theory –

You got me thinking, if your theory plays out, and Rumple does choose someone (Belle) over his power, for the first time, I wonder if that will affect his Dark One status…..like the kiss shared between him and Belle did in Skin Deep?

And/or how will Belle feel knowing he chose her over power, which would be opposite of his actions in Skin Deep.

I think much like David almost sacrificing himself to save Snow (he took the arrow so she wouldn’t become evil like the Queen she was trying to kill), Rumple’s sacrifice of power will trigger feelings in Belle and allow her to be kissed and her memory restored if we are going true love’s kiss route but I am hoping we will see a new way to undo this curse…true love’s kiss seems to be the answer to everything and a little convenient. Let’s mix it up. 🙂

I think Rumples powers are layered. He has dark one powers and other powers that he as accumulated in addition to those. In “The Return” this is what he and the BF said:

Rumpelstiltskin: A curse?

Blue Fairy: No.

Rumpelstiltskin: Ah! So, it is a curse.

Blue Fairy: Of course you would think of a curse instead of a blessing. Your magic is limited by its own rotten core, Rumpelstiltskin. Anyway, it can’t be done. Not without a great price.

Rumpelstiltskin: I’ve already paid a great price.

Blue Fairy: So, you’d be willing to sacrifice this world for the next? Because that’s how great the price is.

Rumpelstiltskin: Well, what do you think?

Blue Fairy: Well, then I’ll comfort myself knowing that such a curse is beyond your abilities.

Rumpelstiltskin: Oh, for now. But I’ve got all the time in the world. I will do nothing else, I will love nothing else. I will find a way. You took my son, but I will get him back.

So giving up the wand may in fact mean giving up some of his powers. I personally like the idea of Rumple having to sacrifice the one thing he finds hardest to let go. I think it would prove to Bae that he has changed and prove to Belle that their love is true and means more to him than his power. I like those sentiments and think it’s about time Rumple does the brave thing.

He did seem pretty gut wrenched when he told Hook “what you’ve done cannot be undone”. Though I’m not sure he’d sacrifice his powers just yet, at least not until he finds Bae.

I do have to ask though. What about his wand that he got from Cinder’s FG? He used that to take all the fairy dust out of the mines. Could he not just use his if they are able to find more dust? As well, were the mines completely drained in SB? If so, would the dwarfs be able to port back to the EF and collect some there? It seems to open up so many questions and options.

I agree he will wait to find Bae before he makes any sacrifices for Belle. I have been wondering about his wand too. Could he use it as it is intended to be used or does his brand of magic twist it into something dark? He might not be able to use it for good as in bringing back Belle’s true identity. Hence, having to go the BF. We don’t know if the mines are completely empty or just that vein that Rumple drained. We also don’t know if the wand still has that power or if it was depleted by the curse Rumple and Regina placed on the portal…those are good questions and it does leave a lot of options…gotta love those writers and their ability to give you just enough info to drive you crazy.

Agreed! I hope it doesn’t last multiple seasons but I would like a few episodes at least to discover Belle’s persona and to see Rumple try and win her back. And thanks for posting the link to the transcripts page! That is really handy!

I want that Rumpelstiltskin have to sacrifice something for Belle to get her memories back and I think that is a nice idea.

Me too!
