We know this is her backstory and shows the daughter of the Wood Nymph chief who wants to explore the human world. The obvious answer is that Gothel is the daughter, which would basically make her Ursula/Anton 2.0. The person she wants to revive, then, is her mother, who was presumably killed as an indirect result of Gothel leaving home (perhaps following her into the human world, or an Anton-like plot where Gothel brings the humans back to her home and they are all slaughtered). But this, as I already pointed out, is a lot like Ursula and Anton's plots.

What if, instead, Gothel is the mother and the chief of the Wood Nymphs? She tries to protect her daughter by keeping her from going to the human world, but is eventually persuaded... only for her daughter to be killed by the humans, fully convincing her of the humans' wickedness. She learns of the Resurrection Amulet, which could save her daughter in exchange for another life, and starts the Coven of the Eight in search of the Guardian, whose magic must be used to power the amulet. Yeah, I said before I'm not convinced Gothel is the daughter and not the mother. She is Mother Gothel, after all. What if she is the mothers sister?

What? There has been no mention of any characters in this flashback except for the daughter and the mother, so this is kind of random.
