I don't remember anyone saying anything about Emma "transforming" - other than a sarcastic comment from the writers about her only fairytale counterpart being the ugly duckling. I think you guys are reading WAY too much into it.

Yes - Emma is a princess - by family ties... But she is NOT a fairytale character. In any way, shape or form.
