What's best about it is that she didn't just show up from nowere like Elsa. They show us a glimse of her just to make her arc epic. This villain won't run after Regina or Rumple like Pan, Hook, Cora and Zelena she has issues with both Snow (if she was the black fairy), Rumple, Charming, Regina, Emma and Hook. And  finally we are going to have some questions since season one answered! This has to  and probably will, be just like the epicness of season 1! Really excited right now. Season 4 looks way greater after those news.

Actually, if they did not do her arc before it is probably because the actress was working on True Blood ^^
