I think Lacey is an entirely fake persona, supported by magically implanted fake memories and fake personality, created by Regina. Belle already had a storybrook counterpart who was a girl who was seemingly abandoned to the care of a psyche ward. I think its careless to assume Lacey is real in any way- unless you're Mr. Gold who doesn't have the knowledge of seeing Regina enchant the matches like the audience does.
