The two girls grew up together and formed a strong bond. When Aggie was still young, Anna decided it was time for then to go back to the woods. So Aggie could receive her full training as a Hedge Maid. When's Snow's mother died Aggie and her mother attended the funeral, and revealed that Anna and the late queen were half-sisters.

One day as she was reading a book, the house alerted Aggie to an intruder within her grove.

Powers
She is an Earth magician and can see into the past, present, and future. She can also "talk" to trees, and control water, earth, fire, and air. Her abilites to see into the flow of time are slightly limited. Seeing into the past is simpel, since it has already happened. The present is currently happening and just as easy. The future is the hardest since there can be so many "road blocks." The futre is not written in stone and is therefore ever changing based on descisions people make. Her house is protected by layer, upon layer of spells. Some of which Aggie herself erected, and others left by her preadasessors. Her magic draws from the earth and she can make plants grow at will. She is also capable of conjouring things and transformation spells. Being a Hedge Maid means she is decended from a very long line. Hedge Maids are fairly secluded and try to only have one child, a girl, to whom they can pass on their knowledge. It is tradition that Hedge Maids in training watch (in a scrying pool) the deaths of any Hedge Maid who didn't die of old age. This is to teach them from past mistakes so they are avoided later. This has actually helped as very few Hedge Maids have ever died the same way twice. Despite common beleif, very few Hedge Maids continue thier work to the point of being old hags. In truth most that a person would meet are young, and quite pretty. Often people will come and seek them out, usually to find out about the furture of their children, especially first borns. While Hedge Maids ocasionally make deals they are far more benighn that Rumplestiltsken's. As sorceresses they often aid people magically such as in the Ogre Wars.

Penelope Fielding

Most of the books are for sale, but there are also book that can be borrowed. Penelope is known for being discreet and often helps people get things that they don't want the general public to know about. She does NOT run a black market. Penelope is knowledgable about herbs, and knows the woods better than anyone in Storybrooke, except maybe the Sherief. She also has an affinity for plants. Like all the other Storybrooke residents, Penelope's past is a haze to her. She can't remember her past and avoids the topic. She also has a deep dislike for the mayor, and Mr. Gold.
