Going back to the Fairy Godmother (S1), I have a few theories about her.

One of my few gripes about the writers of OUAT is that they completetly ignored such a famous and iconic character and just killed her off. Although it was a really unique twist they could have used her in flashbacks (like in King George's kingdom) or resurrected her (maybe she had a history with one of the villains or something) or even included her in the Underworld as their version of a Mother Superior (I wonder if her unfinished business would have been to be reunited with her wand).

I agree that it would seem logical for her to be Snow and Charming's patron fairy, and I also think she was Prince James' fairy godmother as well as Cinderella's. Speaking of Cinderella, I like to think that the Fairy Godmother was inspired by Whitney Houston's 1990s version of Cinderella because the clothing was similar and they were both very elegant African American women. This makes her seem more cooler to me than some little old lady.

I also have a really bizarre idea for like a fanfiction or something in which the Fairy Godmother is also Lancelot's mother and the Lady of the Lake. I know it sounds weird but I thought it would be cool idea. So basically, the Lady of the Lake was a powerful and wise sorceress who lived near Avalon, the island of the fairies, and (like the Black Fairy) she became a fairy to better protect the island and her son as well. When Lancelot grew up, the Lady of the Lake-turned-Fairy Godmother began to travel the Enchanted Forest and help people. She became allies with Robin Hood after helping baby Roland, so he gave her the wand which he stole from Rumplestiltskin. Using the wand, the Fairy Godmother became one of the most powerful fairies in the Enchanted Forest and struck up an alliance with King George's kingdom. Whilst on her way to help Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother was finally tracked down by Rumple and...here's the twist...was banished back to Avalon with her wand confiscated. Rumple pretended that the Fairy Godmother had been killed when, in fact, he imprisoned her to Avalon and tied her magic to it. She cannot leave the lake and only Lancelot and Merlin know that they are one and the same. Just an idea but I love the intricate family tree anyway so this just adds to it.
