Also, nowhere in her past or present did Zelena actually kill anyone. Even with Regina and Neal, She did not kill them. She only came close to killing twice. Once with Belle at the vault, and the other with Henry at the boathouse. Excuse me??? Let's see... Oh yeah. In "It's Not Easy Being Green". I seem to recall that the scene goes like this:

Her father's razor in hand, Zelena approaches her from behind. Zelena holds the razor to her sister's throat and says, "Don't make a sound. Rumplestiltskin is wasting his time with you. You don’t deserve him. You don’t deserve any of this. Our mother couldn't see and neither can he. But I'll show them they’re wrong." Aaaand Zelena stabs Regina's neck. (Regina then turns out to be Rumplestiltskin in disguise.)

See? She tried actively to kill her own sister. It only failed because the Dark One Can survive a stab to the common carotid arteries in the neck. I'm not making this up. Aaand she was actively trying to kill Henry, her own nephew. It only failed because Emma used her own magic to save her son.

The fact that she failed, was pure luck. It was not because of any moral compass on her part.

And: She planned, and was the mastermind behind Neal's death. And it succeeded perfectly. She WANTED to kill... You're right. So I still want to know why she could not kill Emma. Emma mattered nothing for her plan
