I know that this is a simple theory compared to what you all are coming up with but...

Adam and Edward said in an article before the finale that "evil isn't born, it's made."

So I'm thinking about Regina. She is not inherently evil. She possesses light magic. When she felt betrayed by Snow and Emma, she reverted to dark magic. And she uses it every time she feels threatened or annoyed or angry in the EF and Storybrooke until NL. Except she didn't turn on Emma immediately at the end of S3.

So...is she the new villain? One the new villains (plural)? Or was she able to contain herself with Emma because of her love for Henry and now Robin?

I think S4 will have a first arc with Regina struggling to contain her inner Evil Queen when it comes to Emma and Marian.
