Heidi is not a younger version of Ariel. The Little Mermaid arc will debut during Season 3, the earliest. The creators said, they already know how Ariel's storyline will go, but could not fit her into Season 2.

Remember this casting call, is for a character who will be featured in 2.21. That is the penultimate episode. OUaT would not introduce a "major" fairytale character, so late in the season. Most likely, Heidi will either be a series exclusive one-shot character, or a younger version of an existing character.
