Then there's the heavily implied almost 99.8% possibility that Anastasia could be Cinderella's stepsister, but if that's true, the two stepsisters and stepmother's brief appearance in "The Price of Gold" would not really work canon wise. Either that or the stepsisters and stepmother were deliberately going to the ball in hideous disguises. XD I agree. A lot of evidence does lead me to beleive that Anastasia is Cinderella's step-sidter. But there are too many continuity errors with that and I am looking for anyexplanation that still makes it possible. I don't remember what the stepsisters looked like in "The Price of Gold". If one of the stepsisters somewfat resembles Anastsia it is possible that this is her at an older age. However, this episode takes place shortly before the curse so Anastasia cannot be that much older in Wonderland. Also, according to the timeline "Forget Me Not" appears to take place before "The Price of Gold". Another point (possibly not valid), Anastasia appears to be too old. Cinderella is only 19 at the time of the curse while Anastasia looks like she is at least in her late 20s. If they are stepsisters, they should be around the same age. I actually just came up with a theory about 10-15 minutes ago.

So Out Of The Past confirms that Anastasia is the Red Queen at least 8 years prior to Hat Trick, which is more than likely after The Price Of Gold (the beginning part, anyway). My theory is this.

Anastasia is the eldest of the Tremaine daughters, being about 18 at the time of "Heart Of Stone", while Ella, Drizella and a third unnamed sister are all about 11-13. After having become Red Queen and having lost Will's love, she decides to make amends with her mother and please her by showing her royal status. She kidnaps Mrs. Rabbit and forces Percy to take her to the Enchanted Forest. She finds her mother and sisters at Prince Thomas' ball and all four are absolutely dumbfounded when they realize he's chosen Ella, who appears wearing a luxurious pair of glass slippers and ballgown. Ana, feeling like a failure, rushes out of the ball and runs into the forest, where she bumps into Jafar.

Jafar, who has just come from Regina's palace searching for the Genie (who is now the Magic Mirror) thinking it might've been Cyrus, ends up discovering Ana is a Queen of Wonderland, where Cyrus truly resides. They agree to work together after he confesses his goal is to break the laws of magic, allowing her to alter the past. They then use Percy to travel to Wonderland. She would be about 26 or so here, and then after that would be the events of "Down The Rabbit Hole" and "Who's Alice", then the Curse and 28 years of time freezing caused by the Curse, and then lastly the present-day Wonderland events.

It would all fit, and would give us an explanation of how Jafar and Ana met, how Jafar got to Wonderland, it would let us see more of Cinderella's story and would explain why Ana was never brought up during Price Of Gold. I love this theory!
