I don’t necessarily agree that the Blue Fairy is the most powerful being, just the original magical being.
If we base it off feats shown on screen, then yeah the BF seems pathetic in comparison to Rumple and the witches, however Keegan said in an interview that the BF was indeed the most powerful in all the land.
This is why a lot of time we go back and forth between calling her “Sneaky Fairy” and “Plot Device Fairy.” If she indeed the most powerful in the land, then she should have been able to do a lot more than what she is shown to do on screen. But of course that hinders the story and the show.
I’ve been doing a season 2 rewatch with my mom who is just now getting into the show and it’s really frustrating to see how much Blue’s magic ability bounces around. One second she’s saying that she doesn’t have her wand or dust and that things are changed. Then she’s got her wand but can’t take down the dark magic around Gold’s shop. Then she’s able to appear out of thin air and turn Pinocchio back into a real boy and save him from being mostly dead. Then she’s able to cloak the beanfield and make “magic convenience memory potion” from August’s hair. but yet she’s no where to be found when the town is about to be taken over by the forest. It’s either that she is the evil puppet master mind or it’s really bad writing for Blue.[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"September 25, 2013 at 9:30 am #211988JosephineParticipantA lot of things don’t add up with our Blue Fairy. They can keep telling me she’s all goodness and light, but until the series finale I’m going to think she’s like RG said, she’s “Sneaky Fairy” or “Plot Device Fairy”
And as much as some people complain about bad writing on the show, I think Its been good for the most part. The glaring exception is the Blue Fairy. Which brings us back to the conundrum of is it just consistently bad plotting for her character or is she a shady fairy that has her own agenda.

On the whole the writing is very good. If it wasn’t, this should would have gone off the air. So either we accept that A and E just can’t write Blue very well (which makes little sense in my head given how well they write Regina, Rumple, Snow, Emma, ect) OR there has to be something else going on behind it all. Maybe she’s not the puppet master, but I’m still really open to her working for PP.

Go one step forward on the cracktastic scale and have her the mother of Peter AND Rumple. 😛
Throw in the Tinker-momma theory and we’ve got future Rumbelle kids that are half-fairy. 😆
😉 Okay, I think I really need the new season.

September 25, 2013 at 1:50 pm #212034SlurpeezParticipantCrazy theory what if blue is pp mom? The reason she didnt want j nova lol an dreamy together would b it wud hinder her plans of evilry
YES! Blue is PP’s mom and therefore she wants to save PP from his curse (I think the shadow is holding him hostage). Blue has the gift of foresight and knows Henry will be the key to freeing her son, Peter, from his yoke of perpetual adolescence.

September 25, 2013 at 2:20 pm #212040kfchimeraParticipantHm interesting…I don’t think BF is sneaky just plot-devicey but it could be interesting. She is after all…literally a puppet master with Pinnochio!

June 29, 2014 at 1:23 am #275666TheWatcherParticipantI was actually formulating a theory (can’t recall if it was discussed or not) about why Blue split up Grumpy and Nova and the funny thing is, its the exact opposite of what POM is saying…. I dont think Blue split them up to keep Nova pure and good… I think she did it to put Nova on the path to darkness.
Listens to Blue’s speech to Grumpy. It sounds very much like she is actually predicting the future (although rather vaguely). She says that the two of them will bring untold joy to the world but also that Grumpy must let Nova go so that she can become the fairy she was meant to be and that Nova can be a GREAT fairy only if grumpy lets her. This is odd since prior to this scene, Blue spent the entire episode being a flying b*** to Nova literally shutting her dreams of being a godmother down. Why? Because Blue knows Nova will NEVER be a godmother so much so to the point where she LAUGHS in Nova’s face. I think Blue wanted Nova heartbroken… Why? Because Nova was destined to become The Black Fairy and if she fell in True Love with grumpy, that would never have happened. Look at how grumpy changed when he split with Nova. He lost his dreams. He turned to the dark side in his own way and became grumpy and bitter. For all we know, Nova did the same. And Blue, playing as a “good” fairy banished her away somewhere. Anyway, rememeber how fairy dust comes from diamonds? Grumpy got busted with a stolen diamond that he was planning to give to Nova which I assume was really stolen from Regina. We know Regina has a BLACK diamond. Maybe BLACK diamonds make black fairy dust? Just saying >_> *takes crack theory and walks away*

This one is really crack and some would say impossible.
I relate this to two separate events. 1. The Blue Fairy instructs Jiminy (who became a cricket) to look after Gipetto and later Gipetto instructs him to be Pinnocchio’s conscience. This last part and the Blue Fairy’s major involvement in Pinnocchio’s story in contrast to her lack of involvement in say Snow or Regina’s stories means that she is somehow knowledgable about how the story of Pinnocchio is supposed to go. Far fetched you say? This brings us to parallel example 2.
2. Cinderella is marvelling at the glass slippers which her fairy godmother Rumpelstiltskin has just conjured with the former fairy’s wand. “Glass,” she exclaims. “Every story needs a memorable detail.” says Rumpelstiltskin laconically. This would also point to Rumpelstiltskin having some knowledge of how stories are supposed to go in the way we know them. Still not convinced? Let’s look earlier in Rumpelstiltskin’s career, teaching Cora, a Miller’s Daughter, to spin straw into gold. Now granted, we know that Cora got that idea from her scheming suitor Jonathan, but where did he get it? from Rumpelstiltskin perhaps? Ah but how does this all relate to Dreamy and Nova.
3. Conclusion: the Blue Fairy knew the story of Snow White, knew there were to be seven dwarves and one was to be named Grumpy. To keep this one dwarf from leaving the “nest” she gave him a story that would change his personality trait. Also, she somehow knew that Stealthy would be killed by a guard of King George.
My far flung theory in summation: Rumpelstiltskin and the Blue Fairy have intimate knowledge of how stories are supposed to go and guide the stories in that direction. With the powers of “sight” on this show, that can be slightly, but not altogether, explained. I prefer to think that there is some sort of pattern written into the fabric of their universe, the same sort of pattern that says something along the lines of “Tinkerbelle must eventually be banished to Neverland.”

I agree. Lets recall at the end of S3A flashback, Blue says something about the “story revelaing itself” and Snow questioned her about what she meant and she never answered
