Ariel is actually incredibly valuable, as mermaids can swim between the realms.

Then again, the crate might not even be opened during 3.06. So, its occupant could be just about anyone. Okay I'm starting to believe it might be Ariel. But I'm still open for Rumple's Father as well.

But I don't think its a character already on previous ep.s such as Tink or Rumple.
