1.Regina - I think S6 really fleshed out her flaws. We know she was becoming a good person, but to me, one of her biggest flaws was the fact that she blamed other people for her problems. S6 showed her taking responsibility for her past evils, so I was happy with her arc.

2.Lily - Whether she was truly a villain can be debated, but I liked the way the character's storyline was handled (still waiting to see the dad)

3.Zelena - Staring from 5B, I thought she made great progress. I'm glad she did dip into the dark side in S6, because a redemption after regaining her lost memories didn't seem plausible. My only annoyance, is that she became besties with eveyone way too quick. I understood that she changed her ways and became good, but I don't get why she was helping Emma try on her and dress and go to her wedding. We has to wait until S5 before the townspeople trusted Regina. Just because she's good now, doesn't mean everyone likes her - it should take time.

4.Cora - I LOVE Cora, but she should of gone to hell. I don't think her reconcilling her two daughters should of been enough to redeem her (I know she didn't have a heart, but she made the choice on her own)

5.Maleficent - Way too rushed. I feel like the writers wanted to tie up the storylines, but it seemed way too out of character.

6.Rumplestiltskin - I think Rumple is a good person now, and his arc from S1-3B was the best, but the writers ruined it because they needed a villain. Making him the DO again was a weak choice, but 6B+ showed character growth. I'm happy with where his character is now.

I won't add Neal because I never saw him as a villain. He was a character who made a few mistakes, but I always saw him as a good guy. As for the whole consent thing, different reigons and cultures have their own ages of consent. Let's not forget he is a native of the EF.
