So, here's my theory: the Witch is Gothel, who is the EF 2 version of the Dark One, who is weak for some reason that IDK and needs the power of Rapunzel. Rapunzel was taken from EF 2, her origin realm, to EF 1 by the Witch. There, Rapunzel met Killian Jones, a charming pirate who seeks revenge against the Dark One. They fell in love and decided to get revenge against their enemies (Rumple and the Witch). However, after discovering that the Witch is in EF 2, she steals Hook's magic bean and goes after her but, she was pregnant of Killian and didn't knew about it. She never find the Witch and marries a man who happens to be Cinderella's father. She gives birth of two girls, named Alice and Drizella. She later goes after her origins and discover that her father made a deal with Gothel: the man gave Gothel Rapunzel, while Gothel gave the man gold. She becomes bitter after that and kills her husband. She becomes a evil stepsister to Cinderella. After that, the kids grow up and Gothel returns. Gothel and Drizella fell in love by each other and start a relationship, which angers Lady Tremaine, who tries to send Gothel to Wonderland. However, Alice is accidentaly sended in her place. Blinded by anger, Drizella decides to cast a curse and, to do that, she sacrifices the thing she most love: Gothel.
