KITSIS: We are going to be getting into her backstory. We are going to get a snippet of why she’s awake in this moment before the curse in the winter finale, and then we are going to be doing much more of her and her flashbacks in the second half of the season. We have a really fun arc planned coming up.

They are probably hinting that the curse will happen on the winter finale So Alice cast the curse? I guess that kind of makes sense since she's apparently "The Guardian".
