[ < MY THEORY ABOUT LILY > ]

Adam tweeted that when they introduced Lily, they've had A BIG PLAN for her

In my point of view, when someone said about A BIG PLAN, it will usually be about an arc

Agnes Bruckner is set to appear in 3 episodes : "Lily", "Mother" and "Operation Mongoose Part 2", which ends season 4

As I see it, Lily's current role on OUAT is not A BIG PLAN. What can she do ? Reuniting with Maleticent ? Of course she will, but I don't consider it as A BIG PLAN.

Yeah, she plays a huge part in the dragon-witch's happy ending. And that's it ? I doubt the creators would do that

So here is my crazy theory :

After choosing a man/woman suited to be the next Author with the help from the Apprentice, the Sorcerer will die and be reborn as someone else, but those babies always share one common : the star-shaped birthmark

This cycle have started since the first Author took the job

Therefore, when Isaac is chosen, the Sorcerer will die again and be reborn as Lily, which explains the star-shaped birthmark and why Adam hinted that Maleficent didn't necesarrily need a man to concieve her child

( Also, is that an answer to the question why Lily is a bruntte while her mother is a blondet ? )

However, the Author need to get rid of Lily so he force the Apprentice to trick Snowing to steal Lily away from her mother. Since Snow has been cursed by Regina's apple before, she is the only one that can succesfully escape from Maleficent's sleeping spell

Then, Snowing thought the Apprentice just transfered Emma's darkness to the vessel, but instead he also banished her to Our World

( Please remember that every curse and spell on this show has never needed the caster to say some silly words )

Furthermore, the show always gave hints foreshadowing things

To support my theory, let's go back to "Breaking Glass", to the moment when Lily told Emma that the birthmark made her feel special, like Harry Potter, a freaking warlock

As a child who grew up in this magically non-magical world, I don't find being a villian's offspring special

Does being the product of true love and the daughter of the pure-hearted Snow White and the dashing Prince Charming make you feel special ? Damn right, it is

But does being the child of the infamous wicked Fairy who cast a sleeping curse on the lovely Sleeping Beauty make you feel special ? Nah, not so much

( Btw, I already knew that Once's Maleficent is NOT a fairy, but the Disney's one is )

In conclusion, that's why I think Lilith is infact the Sorcerer herself

Also, if she was just Mal's daughter, why did she have that "special" birthmark ? I don't know ... Her mother can turn into a fire breathing dragon. Why is it a star ?

How do you guys think ? I must apoplogize for this long post. I hope you enjoy it

Personally, I would love to see Agnes Bruckner become a regular cast or at least a recurring but important one like Robin Hood ...

In my mind, Lily has so much potential to be explored, mostly how she adapts to the life in Storybrooke and starts learning some magic taught by her BFF, Emma

Morever, Kristin is probally busy with her other projects so Maleficent won't probally be seen more often

But dragon morphing may be one of the most interesting magic of all. Hopefully, Lily will stick around and begin waving her dragon wings and breathing some scalding fire (if she can of course) into some future villains who dare to conquer Storybrooke.
