Maybe a sorceress who can shapeshift into a Roc or maybe Maleficent can do that. Genies, bandits, sailors, pirates, and lots of magical creatures. Maybe even have Scheherazade as a previous author or having some connection to the current one. Because they already had Once upon a time in Wonderland with Agrabah. It would be redundant.

Cruella's story is over and there is not much more to it. After she went black and white, she did some minor stuff and then was called to the EF by Rumple and then we saw all the rest. There's really nothing she has left for a story. She doesn't know Anita, because they can cross realms and the whole Dalmatians dealt with her mother and noone else. By the time Cruella gets to the EF, Anita was already werewolf queen and soon to meet her daughter before her death. We really could use Once in Agrabah though, to incorporate more of the 1001 Nights stories, and maybe some other Eastern stories, but I agree we won't get it, unfortunatly.

I don't think we can assume Cruella never met Anita. They were both in the EF at the same time. Cruella can control animals, Anita is kind of an animal, I don't think it's impossible for them to have crossed paths. Weather we ever see that play out or not, is a different story of course. For the show, Red will either have to get an arc, or  the Cruella and Anita story would have to involve another upcoming character. I don't see us getting it without one of those two things. If those don't happen I could still see it in an upcoming comic though. Maybe in a comic, but I doubt anything else. What would Cruella do? She can't kill. She is a sociopath, what arc will that require? An episode, maybe. But an arc, I doubt. No, I mean an arc with Red/Ruby and have a flashback that explores Cruella/Anita, to give insight into something with Red/Ruby in present day. Or an arc with, say King Arthur, where he had a run in with Cruella and Anita in a flashback. Cruella and Anita would only be in a flashback for one episode.
