It's a different Fairy Tale Land. So different versions of all the FTL characters exist. Not sure what the in universe explaination will be, but the out of universe is they wanted to be able to redo some of the fairy tales that didn't get as much screen time as they wanted in Seasons 1 - 6. And yes, any character played by a new actor is a "new" version, unless they specifically tell us otherwise. So it's a new Cinderella, a new Lady Tremaine, a new Alice, and likely a new Rapunzel is on the way. And I'm sure there will be more we don't know about yet.
