1. Is Snow optimistic or pessimistic?

2. Is Regina a hero that does the right thing because that's what suppose to be done or is she a villain that does the right thing because it will get her what she wants? Does she hate when people call her the Evil Queen? If yes, then why she refer herself as that?

3. Is Hook a d-bag that does shady things behind people's back and lie to the one he loves or is he a love sick puppy who's willing to do anything to his love?

4. Emma and Hook's relationship - True Love? Abusive? Rebound?

5. Is Emma a sheriff who does her job properly or is she willing to let villains get away with punishment? (See 404)

6. Is Rumple power hungry or does he have a justified motivation? Is he still considered a coward even though he sacrificed his own life?

7. Does Belle confront people for their double standards or is she naive and enables people to continue their bad behavior? Again, all these questions assume everyone has like 3 personality traits they they strictly adhere to. That's just not how humans work. Take me for example, I'm generally a rather optimistic and happy person. But does that mean I am never in a pessimistic and sad mood? No, of course I can get into a mood that is not my prefered state of being. Does it mean that I'm a character in a story that is poorly written (by your standards)? No, I'm just a real person, and real people do not always act exactly the same. If anything, the way you want the characters to act would make them seem like cartoon characters: never aging, never changing, never having different moods. You may think this is what you want, but if the show actually worked like this, you would be complaining that the show wrote characters that don't feel real.
