I sort of wanted August to be Balefire and was a little disappointed when he turned out to be Pinocchio until I saw that thing with the wardrobe and thought that made more sense, so I'm wondering why they made Aurora her daughter here, do you think Aurora could possibly be a second Savior or something? Having Aurora be Sleeping Beauty's daughter, allows OUaT more creative freedom with her story arc.

Into the Deep impied that there is something big in store for Aurora. The creators mentioned in their podcast; that Aurora's recklessness, stems from growing up knowing when she was going to die.
