Granted, cursed counterpart is not much more reasonable than aged-up version (which I have been vehemently denying as possibilities up to this point) but since we're kind of out of brand new characters that wouldn't be entirely out of left field (since Alice is definitely the other half of the relationship and also very probably Hook's daughter)... I believe when Matt from TVLine announced it, he said that they were casting for this new female character. So it wouldn't be Kelly/Zelena, since Bex is returning.

They could bring in Robin played by an older actress and that might count, however, I'm personally not sure about assuming she got aged up to her 20s. I mean, they already had the Golds rapidly aging, would they really have Zelena moving to a time-warped realm as well? Super messy and I'm not a fan of this idea since they're probably not going to clarify any of the other weird time stuff they've already presented up to 7x04.

My only other guess would be grown-up Anastasia. She might be preserved as a 14-year-old right now but perhaps Tremaine will have her magic-ed up to the age she's supposed to be.

Other than that, she could be a completely new character related to Tiana for all we know. xD
