Wasn't part of the reason she left because she had done everything she could with Emma? Well, she would have had a new cursed persona, so she wouldn't have been Emma. She left because she thinks it's time to move on and look for different projects. Then that means her character wouldn't have been that different from what she has been playing from 6 years, let alone a "whole new character".

Otherwise the explanation she gave wouldn't make sense. It's just that the role they offered to her this season was just not innovative enough for her to stay. I don't think we can assume the character would be the same. It's possible that even though she would be playing a new character, she was just getting bored of the fairy tale stuff, and schedule of filming Once.
