She could be Tiana. Just like Neal, she was sent to Land Without Magic and did terrible things but she wants to redeem herself in the Underworld under the reign of King Arthur and a drunk Cruella. As far as I know, Sonequa Martin Green is on The Walking Dead now, and as a much more tolerable character in that, so no. Yeah, she's part of a small group of main arc villains whose origins/descent into darkness was never explained (Maleficent, King George, Hades, Tamara), but while she was the major villain of the tail end of Season 2, she was ultimately nothing more than a grunt.

And besides, her only connections to the rest of the characters were through Neal, Pinocchio and the Dragon. None of them are important anymore, and only Neal was truly important to her story. I would definitely like a backstory on Tamara, if only to quench my OCD, but it would be so out of left field and useless... I feel like we will get more backstory on Mal and George eventually. Hades technically had backstory, it was just not well presented. We got half of it through dialog, which told us things like Hades was mad that his brother got the "good" job, and the other half through text in the book pages, which metioned Zeus, Hades, and Kronos (their father). Tamara won't get backstory, but I think we got a basic idea. She knew magic was real, but finds it unholy, and is trying to eraticate it. With Maleficent, we still need her entire origin (how she discovered she was a dragon/how she discovered she could turn human), her history with Briar Rose, and Lily's father. Who may or may not be Maleficent's love.

With George, we just need to meet his wife, learn who cursed her with infertility (which I'm assuming is what made him evil) and where the hell he is in the present day.

And with Tamara, all we need is to see how Pan recruited her and how she discovered magic was real.

As for Hades, I don't remember anything in the book mentioning his origin.
