Eddy made it sound like it's not a specific person, but a set of criteria.

"Kitsis: We are strongly suspecting it is her. The thing about the Guardian is we also at one point realized it was Alice, and she hinted towards Rumple making some kind of sacrifice so Robin and Alice could be together. So I would look at the Guardian as kind of like the Dali Llama, which is when one is gone a new one appears. But right now Anastasia looks like a prime target for it."

I do think Alice's heart is perfectly fine as Once allows for the murder of animals. XD
