So I've been thinking. The writers of OUAT have done an amazing job at fleshing out characters from Disney and fairy tales and creating intriguing backstories and adding exciting twists and turns to their storylines. However, there are some characters who I felt were just brushed under the carpet after their little appearance without a proper explanation. In fact, I think that the writers teased us viewers with little snippets of backstory before nevr mentioning them again. Well, here are some characters who I feel warranted more "fleshing out":

Posedion: in addition to being the vengeful father of Ursula who tried to use her singing voice to cause harm to humans, Posedion is also a god of the same sanding as Zeus and Hades. However, he is never explicitly mentioned as being the brother of Zeus and Hades, like he is in Greek mythology. What I wanted to know was what is his relationship and history with these other deities. Are they brothers? Was he aware that Kronos was murdered by Hades? Is he connected to the Old Goddess Ursula in some way?

Lumiere: tranformed into a candelabrum by the Wicked Witch of the West and forced to trick Belle into reviving the Dark One, Lumiere is last seen helping Belle escape from Zelena's clutches by ensnaring the Wicked Witch in his flames. He is never seen or mentioned again. I would have liked to have seen him transformed into a human and maybe, because he feels guilty to Belle, working at the Dark One's castle or even better his pre-candle self before Zelena put her curse on him.

Fairy Godmother: murdered by Rumpelstiltksin for her wand before she could help Cinderella, the FGM was also the patron of King George's kingdom before he made a deal with the Dark One for her whereabouts. I would have liked to have known more about her relationship with King George. Does that make her the FGM of Prince James? Is Cinderella related to King George or can the FGM grant random wishes like the Blue Fairy? If she had survived, would she have been patron to Snow and David when they liberated George's kingdom?

These are just three I could think of at the top of my head, however, there are so many more characters whose backstories are so intriguing. Anyone else have any thoughts?
