You know, I just had a thought.

We all know Rumple's Mantra (All Magic comes with a price). Perhaps Blue knows this lesson all too well (maybe from her fight previous fight with the Black Fairy). And knowing this, she chooses to be very cautious about using her power. It's not weakness that we are actually seeing, but wisdom. And it is that same wisdom that keeps her more in the background. Her choice, not because she is weak, but because she is powerful and wants to limit her use of power.
