We don't know how she later met her husband or her relationship with Anita. Or even who she bought the cloak from (Obviously Rumple).

And Maleficent has beef with the following, aside from Aurora, Philip and Sleeping Beauty:

Robin and Will for stealing from her.

Will and Ana for using her looking glass portal. (I wonder if Will left it with Cora and that's how she kidnapped Henry?)

Belle for reverting Philip back into a human.

Mulan for helping Philip rescue Aurora.

Charming for fighting her.

Rumple for sending Charming to shove a bottle up her cheeks.

Regina for threatening her unicorn, trapping her in Storybrooke, etc.

Emma for "slaying" her.

Hook, Greg and Tamara for messing with her zombie form.

True, but I don't think all of those things are a big deal to Maleficent. I mean, lots of other people probably have fought her to, or did things she didn't like. I think most of the Maleficent arc has to do with Regina, Aurora, and I think (/hope) Will Scarlett for some reason. And of course she'll have a past with Rumple. And I definitely think that she's the black fairy. Maybe she'll have some issues with the other characters, but I don't think her endgame is to ruin all of them or something like that. And since Cruella is coming too, I hope Maleficent will stay in season 5.
