Just a crazy thought - maybe Violet is actually young Maleficent. In this episode we will see Regina's backstory and Regina already said that Maleficent was her only friend. Beside, look at Maleficent's dress, it's purpule (Violet, anyone). Also, Maleficent may be a fairy instead of witch and in this episode we will learn more about fairies. Plus, her casting call describes her as party girl - in the original story Maleficent cursed Sleeping Beauty because she was not invited to the party.

On the other hand, I know it's really unlikely to have Maleficent, Regina and Tinkerbell backstories in one episode and that they would probably make Kristin Bauer van Starten to look younger so she can portray young Maleficent like they did with Lana but we will see.
