In 1x04, Ruby says Ashley has two step-sisters living in Storybrooke whom she doesn't talk to, and it's impossible for one of them to be Anastasia, the Red Queen. :( Actually, the two step-sisters might only be part of Ashely's fake memories. If she doesn't ever talk to them, it is very probable that she doesn't meet them during the events that were repeated each day for the 28 years before Emma arrived to Storybrooke (and likely, she doesn't meet them after that anyway), and therefore it is possible that they don't even exist in Storybrooke. Thinking that way, there is a chance that Anastasia is one of her step-sisters, only if you asume her physical appearance was retconed since The Price of Gold, when both stepsisters were seen as bulky women with dark hair.
