Once Upon a Time is a really unique show, as it takes our favourite fairy tale characters and twist their roles. Here are my opinions of my ten favourite characters from this show.

10.)  David Nolan/Prince Charming:  He thought he was an interesting character. He was a shepherd, the pauper and he became a heroic prince.

9.)  Peter Pan/Malcolm:  He is, without a doubt, the most evil villain in this show. He abandoned his own son for youth, kidnaps and abuses Lost Boys who even think about leaving Neverland, acts cruel towards Wendy by keeping her in a cage and using her as leverage for her brothers, John and Michael, manipulates a young boy just to have his heart to be immortal, then possesses Henry and I can come up with many more reasons to justify this! He is chaotic and just so evil. He made everyone see their darkest secrets and even Captain Hook and the pirates fear him! Like Captain Hook said, he may look like a boy, but he's a bloody demon.

8.)  Mary Margaret/Snow White:  She is an amazing mother figure for Emma. She is a badass warrior and they really did a great job at writing her as a character.

7.)  Captain Hook/Killian Jones:  He may have done some unforgivable things such as stealing a poor man's wife, then murdering many innocent people, including David's father, as well as his own, but he has really tried hard to redeem himself for Emma. I don't ship him with Emma, since I ship Emma with Regina (Fight me Captain Swan fans) but I do think he is an awesome father figure for Henry. I don't like the bad boy appearance, since I see it as shallow but he is still well written as a character. He has an intriguing backstory.

6.)  Emma Swan:  She is so perfect by being imperfect. She is realistic and believable. I still ship her with Regina (Fight me Captain Swan fans) and see her as a wonderful mother for Henry. Emma has her flaws. I didn't exactly like her during the Dark Swan arc, as I believe that evil just doesn't suit Emma, and also didn't like it when all of the sudden losing her controls over her powers like Elsa in Frozen. It was pointless. However, I still adore Emma as a person and as the Savior. She really does want to protect everyone, but even she believes that being the Savior can also be a lot of pressure. That's what I like about her. Even when she finally reunites with her parents, she isn't all that excited to see them because she had been through so much during her time as an orphan. She even turned to a life of crime and didn't want Henry at first, however, she does eventually want to gain full custody over Henry.

5.)  Belle Gold:  I really love how she sees the good in everyone. I know right now Belle is trying to stay as far away from Rumple as possible, but you can't deny that they look adorable together. She really wants Rumpelstiltskin to be a hero but she has given him so many chances, I wouldn't blame her for leaving him most of the time. I really hope they be in love again because Rumpbelle is my OTP in this series. I mean, she is a beautiful woman who loved an ugly man. They really are adorable together.

4.)  Zelena/Wicked Witch of the West:  I know she is basically a green-Evil Queen copycat but still, she has committed a few original evil deeds. How about the fact that she managed to enslave Rumpelstiltskin, the Dark One, something that not even Cora was able to do, and then hide right under our noses as Marian and get pregnant by Robin Hood, just to ruin Regina's happy ending. I still don't see the difference between evil and wicked but whatever. I enjoyed it when she was enjoying being evil (Don't). Again, you can't help but also feel extremely sorry for Zelena. I mean, she was abandoned by her mother as a baby, sent into a cyclone, then raised by a family which had an abusive 'father'. She could've used her powers for good but was brought to the darkness because of how her sister's life is. Now just think for a second. Regina may have been abused by her mother, but at least she had a mother, riches, luxury and everything. Then when she has the child. she is not allowed to see her and is also tormented and bullied by Regina. I can't help but just root for her whenever the two sisters clash.

3.)  Henry Mills:  Henry is the heart and soul of this show. Whenever there is darkness in the show, he always lights it up. He is the truest believer, the author and a true hero by bringing Emma to Storybrooke in the first place. He never gives up hope and always believes in saving the day. He really cares about everyone, including his adoptive mother, the Evil Queen, and tries to make things right for everyone. There really is not much more I have to say. I just seriously like Henry.

2.)  Regina Mills/Evil Queen:  I seriously love her. She is the perfect example that evil is never born but made. She used to be the most kindest woman in the lands. She almost had her happy ending. However, because of her abusive mother, Cora, she lost her true love and became the Evil Queen. She is just this ruthless tyrant when she is the Evil Queen. She is also enjoying her evilness while being evil and you can't help but want to root for her! She has that sassy and charismatic attitude and personality which makes it impossible to hate her. I kind of ship her with Emma (Fight me Captain Swan fans) and see her as a great mother towards Henry. During her time redeeming herself, she had nobody except Henry. You just want hug her so bad. She is also willing to do whatever it takes to protect their son, no matter the cost.

1.)  Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold:  I began watching this show for Captain Hook, but after realizing I wasn't much of a fan of this version of Hook, I ended up staying anyway for Rumpelstiltskin. He is just such a lovable character. He is misunderstood. He is also sympathetic. He lost his wife, and his son after becoming the Dark One. However, while he had done some terrible things, he was doing most of them to get back to his son. However, as the Dark One, he was a force to be reckoned with. He is a mastermind. When he's the Crocodile/Beast version of Rumpelstiltskin, he reminds me of the Joker. He is hilarious and just so entertaining to watch. When he is just simple Mr. Gold, with or without powers, he is still awesome. He is extremely clever and feared by nearly everyone in Storybrooke. When he met Belle, he loved her so much, even when he always messes up by making her leave. Another thing, you can't help but want to hug the guy when he makes the sad face. Of course, what he did in the Ogre War was a little cowardly, but he didn't want to leave his son fatherless. He wanted to always be there for his son and protect him no matter what. He really does love his son. I also loved him both ways, where he is being a hero and being a villain.
