Seders90, Ruby mentioned in The Price of Gold that Ashley had "a stepmother and two stepsisters she doesn't talk to", so Cinderella's stepsisters are supposedly both in Storybrooke at this time. Ashley probably never actually met her stepmother and stepsisters in Storybrooke. She only had memories of them so Anastasia could have easily not been in Storybrooke. That's a good point. And maybe Ashley appearing in the Pilot was a subtle hint to this.

On the other hand, Anastasia's mother said "Off with you, then. At least I have your sister s ". And she surely wouldn't count Cinderella in. I think its unfair to say in Once's version  of Lady Tremaine would not count Cinderella as an actual sister. We all know the stepmother character is spiteful so she could have even said this out of spite. As for Anastastia the historic persona and movie character, I doubt it as it wasn't a Disney film plus the there is really only one historic character so far; Mulan. The chances of them adding another are very small. I also really like the idea of seeing Drizella, Anastasia and Lady Tremaine (and possibly Cinderella pre-castle life)!
