That's the thing lol What if they don't ever show up? Disney's Aladdin and Jasmine could be composite characters. Similar to how Once's Rumple is Rumple, the Beast and the Crocodile (as well as an illusion to the Scarecrow) and then Disney split up the Beast and the Crocodile into separate entities.

How is Rumple an allusion to the Scarecrow? Rumple, Charming and Regina are allusions to the Scarecrow, the Lion and the Tinman, respectively. That's because of the totems Zelena stole from them for the time travel spell (Rumple's brain, Charming's courage and Regina's heart).

It's probably the most direct allusion in the entire show. Aside from social climber Cinderella, that is.
