I'm going to order the characters from the most liked to the less appealing to me.

Drizella - So far I've liked every interaction with Drizella, I want to know more about her character and even though sometimes she seems nice, she continues to have a bitchy attitude and I love that.

Tiana - We haven't seen much of Tiana, but so far I've liked everything about her. The trailer for her backstory episode doesn't seem very promising to me, but I hope I'm proved wrong.

Roni - At first I wasn't sure I would like this new version of Regina, but once I saw her in action I truly liked her. It feels like Regina is inside her somewhere, but you can still notice the difference in personality. Roni is a more relax version of Regina, but still with the guts to stand up to bad guys.

Henry - Since I saw him in the season 6 finale I felt like he was perfectly cast for adult Henry, the actor is really doing a good job of imitating Henrys mannerisms. As a character we already know a lot about him, but I'm still glad Henry got to go on his own adventure, I willing to see where his story goes.

Weaver - At first I wasn't interested in him at all. I lost all interest in Gold after he betrayed everyone in season 5. His character development was ruined when they started making him the villain for no reason. However after seeing that they finally decided to redeem him (something I wanted for a long time) I now find myself cheering for him to reunite with Belle in the afterlife.

Roger - I was never a fan of Hook, but I must say that it was genius from the writers to use the wish realm Hook. And now I feel somewhat interested in his backstory if it turns out that his daugher is Rapunzel.

Lady Tremaine - A lot of people seem to dislike this character. I don't love her, but I don't hate her either. She does have some funny moments like when she was first introduced and it seemed like a scene of the Devil's Wears Prada. "Stop trying, start succeding" was funny! Now a lot of people compare her to Regina, and as a villain Mayor Mills was clearly more formidable and menacing. For a person with so much influence and power, it seems that no one is truly afraid of her. Roni, Weaver, Jacinda and even Alice standed up to her and I think that's one of the problems that her character is facing, she is not nearly as efficient as Regina was. However, I'm still interested in her attempt to revive Anastasia and in her relation with the Witch. As a villain I think she is fine, I don't expect everyone to be Cora, Regina or Rumple and after facing so many villains along the years it's obvious that she is not going to feel as impresive, but let's not forget that she is capable of pretty much what the others were capable of. So far we've seen her kill, kidnap, manipulate and use any kind of trick up her sleeve. So even if she looks like a pushover, we shouldn't understimate her.

Lucy - This is Henry 2.0, with the same cringy lines and storyline. It doesn't bother me much though.

Witch - We haven't seen almost anything about her. She did not created a lasting impresion like the black fairy did in her first appearance either. However, I do want to know who she is and what she wants. Also, the fact that Victoria seems to fear her intrigues me, so I want to see where this leads. #freethewitch

Jacinda - Oh my goodness, where do I even start? What I dislike about her is a combination of bad writing and bad acting. First of all, I thought the curse was suppose to create a different personality for the cursed characters. I see no difference between Jacinda and Cinderella, it happens with other characters as well, but with her it's more obvious. In both worlds she can't control her emotions and she has poor judgement and on top of that I feel that her acting is a bit off. She speaks to fast and her facial expressions don't match with her words. In the last episode "Beauty" I saw some improvement. This problems are both bad writing and bad acting. She is no cinderella, as a lone character it's okay, but calling her cinderella without showing any traits of being her doesn't work for me. All the characters in Once have twists, but they keep the essence of the character. With her that doesn't happen, it's like they decided to call her Cinderella as an excuse to bring in Lady Tremaine and Drizella for the storyline.

Alice - Creepy Alice it's not cutting it for me either. I'm a fan of Alice in Wonderland and I've liked every adaptation I've seen of her. Disney, Tim Burton and even Once upon a time in wonderland. One of the things that bothers me is that the writers already visited Alice in the past, heck she even got an entire series just for her and it was perfect. There was no need to revisit this character. I understand that we get Rapunzel and Tremaine because they were minor characters in the past, but Alice? Alice was believed to be crazy, but this one is acting like she truly is insane. Additionally the actress gives me a hard time trying to understand what she is saying, I always got the same problem with Hook. I'm only a little interested in her connection to Rumple, but that's it. I'm glad she is not part of the main cast.

Character relations

Henry, Jacinda and Drizella - Somehow I feel like Henry connected better with Ivy in the last episode than with Jacinda in four episodes, maybe it's because their development doesn't seem forced. With Jacinda it feels like it's the default relationship the writers chose for the show, and that doesn't always means that the actors are going to have good chemistry. I know that's relative to some, but I don't feel anything when I see Jacinda and Henry on screen. They are falling for each other because that's what the writers want, but they don't really share or do anything together. That's why Henrys interactions with Ivy comes off more naturally. Some people said that Ivy and Henry are too different, but guess what? Jacinda and Henry have very differen personalities as well. Henry is calm, friendly and even awkward. Jacinda is way too energetic, bitter and volatile. So if they can be together, then so does Ivy and Henry Lol. If they plan on doing a love triangle I'm certainly cheering for Ivy, even though I know it's not going to work for her in the end.
