Emma Swan

"Sister, you have no idea what I am capable of." -Emma, to The Evil Queen 

Emma Swan is the main character of Once Upon A Time. She is portrayed by Jennifer Morrison. She is a bail bonds collector and the single mother of her son, Henry, who she gave up for adoption ten years prior to the start of the show. She is also Snow White and Prince Charming 's daughter.

Background
Emma Swan is a 28-year-old bail bonds collector and is very independent and self-reliant, since she was abandoned as a baby. During the series, her long-lost son, Henry (put up for adoption), finds her.

He has been living in Storybrooke and believes that his mother is the abandoned child of Snow White and Prince Charming because he has seen her featured in a storybook he owns. According to this book, Emma was sent away as a baby when The Evil Queen's curse froze over the fairytale world, which is why the citizens of Storybrooke don't remember who they used to be.
