Regina has the same bit of magic that Emma has. The magic that a mother has on her son. I think the reason why no one returned back to fairytale land was Regina gave up Henry.
In Apple Red as Blood, Mr. Gold said. “The curse meant to take away Snow White and Prince Charming’s happiness, perhaps you giving up Henry is just the price to keep the curse unbroken.”
Although, Emma gave her true love kiss to Henry, Regina did give up her love for Henry in return. Keeping the curse alive.
So, ya, Regina does have a maternal love for Henry, which was enough to keep everyone in Storybrooke.

Like i said, i think that Emma is just Emma, Snow and Charming’s heir which, of course, makes her a princess. I just think that she is going to do a lot of things that happen in classic fairy tales like all of the similarities to Sleeping Beauty in the last episode and the hints at Snow White’s story with the apple tart. And i think they are going to continue with that especially now that she believes. I don’t think that makes her any of those characters because she is supposed to be a new fairytale character, but then again a lot fairytales have similarities in the story. Like the prince finds the girl or the regular boy that becomes a king and such. And i think
Emma will do a lot of those things as the series goes along.Emma is Emma, but doesn’t mean what we’re watching now is how Emma is becoming the Swan Princess. Like Pinnocchio, Emma can have her story in our world as well.

I never connected Emma to the Swan Princess, probably because Disney didn’t do that movie. And her name was Odette. My neice used to be obsessed with that movie. I always thought the Swan referred to The Ugly Duckling. In that story, the ugly ducking felt left out and like it didn’t belong. It was never really part of the group. Then it grew up into a beautiful swan and found it’s own kind and happiness. That’s Emma. She didn’t belong to anyone as a child or up till now. She’s finally blossoming into a swan and has found her family and place in the world.
That’s Swan Lake not Swan Princess. Disney did do Swan Princess and is based on Swan Lake.
It wasn’t the Disney company. I know my Disney shows. It was another movie company, but not Disney.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Swan_Princess
You’re correct that it’s based on Swan Lake, but her name was Odette in The Swan Princess, too. I still know most of the songs and have a copy somewhere. I must of had to watch it a million times. My neice used to be in love with Prince Derek and loved the “Princesses on Parade” scene while my nephew loved Rothbart.
And I didn’t mean that she was actually the Ugly Duckling in the story, just that it sums up what her character has been through and the connection to the name Swan and why they picked it.
Yes, the Swan Lake is by another company, which may be difficult getting the rights of if the creators would like to take Emma’s character there.
I think it was Once Upon a Time wiki did I see an interview saying that Adam named Emma, Emma “Swan” because of the tale of the Ugly Duckling. So Josephine is right on the eye there.
Also, could Emma may be the Black Swan from Swan Lake? She may also be the White Swan too, but her and Regina have a lot in common.
One: both their lovers got their heart crushed (Graham and Daniel). Two both adore Henry. Both have similar taste in men (Graham).Both have strong and vengeful personalities (Regina with Snow White and Emma now with Regina (she did say she was going to take someone that she loves)). Both have magic.
I’m pretty sure next season Emma is going to have a battle not only with Regina and all the mean people of storybrooke, but also herself.
I trust Rumpel to an extent. I mean, as far as I can see, he hasn’t told a lie. And Henry was fine after all….It just you won’t always get exactly what you want or have things exactly as planned with him. The sneaky fox.

True love is something directed outward, that one person shows for another. There are good qualities that are directed inward — self-esteem, integrity, etc — but I think love has such power in fairy tales because it can only serve others, not oneself.
Good point!
I have a suspicion that it would have a different affect on her like it may turn her into something different. I think that Emma is just a rare human being and would reject any evil spell that may come across from her. Yet, can’t be sure.
Eva because she’s a girl and girls are better than everyone. 😎 Note the sarcasm.
She’s just a good actress and I could see her as an antiEmma. Some people may say that Regina is the antiEmma, but I think Emma and Regina have similarities.

Emma is not going to have a counterpart though. Emma is just Emma.
What I mean is what she may become in fairytale land. Maybe she’s still be Emma or maybe she’ll become a fairy or an imp or a witch.

I love Emma’s character, in fact, she is my favorite character in the series.
I think what really won me over was in 1.08 Desperate Souls where she does the right thing by stating that Gold was the one that set the fire, despite how the town and Henry would look at her.
I love how she is a complicated character with many flaws, but still wants to do the “right” thing for her son, to show Henry that good can win sometimes.
I can’t wait to see the reunion with her and her family now that the curse is broken, I mean, she can’t really blame her parents for transporting her into another world…..
I love Emma too! And yes, I can’t wait for the same thing. She is a complicated and yet simple too. She can be opposites sometimes. She can do the right thing, but also the wrong thing at the same time. Yeah, she’s much more complicated than Snow and Charming.
Happens to me all the time too 😉
You know, after watching True North again, I feel that Emma’s counterpart in fairytale would be fairy godmother type or more precise a good, pure form of what Rumpelstiltskin does. You know, how he makes deals that turns out bad. Emma will grant wishes that will turn out good!
Well, hopefully. She does seem like a person who wants to help everyone live a good decent life.

Especially after saying to August “I just had a conversation with Rumplestiltskin and the Evil Queen.” Not a sentence you say everyday.
Just wait until she finds out her baby daddy’s father is Rumplestiltskin (yes, it’s my dream). I think they’ll all need family councilling.
I rather hope not….I wouldn’t mind Henry’s Daddy being Bae though.
I can actually see Emma denying that there’s anything wrong with her and refusing to see Archie.
Well, since Emma’s believe isn’t an issue anymore.
I really think that one big problem with Emma next season is her good and evil persona. Will she lean towards one or the other? We saw many characters succumb to their evil side (Rumpel, Regina, (I have a hunch she wasn’t always bad) Cora) and saw many refuse evil (Snow, Hensel and Gretal, Red…). I think Emma is next on the list. Especially when she’ll figure out that Regina crushed Graham’s heart.
