Maleficent's daughter might be the unicorn:

The evidence :

Exhibit A: The star scar on Lily’s wrist could be from when she lost her horn. Yes it should probably be on her forehead, but that might have been a bit too obvious for them to do.

Exhibit B: Maleficent is a human who can turn into a mythical creature, so it’d be kind of poetic if her “child” who was a mythical creature, was turned into a human.

Exhibit C: Regina cast the Curse to ruin people’s happiness. Regina didn’t like Maleficent that much at the time of 1x02. Regina saw that the unicorn was Maleficent’s BFF, her only family, and the source of her happiness. So Regina programming the Curse to separate Maleficent and her unicorn permanently is a thing I could see her doing, and the unicorn being tossed out into our world would accomplish that.

Exhibit D: One of the classic images in mythology is the lovely young maiden, being drawn to a unicorn, and them chilling on the grass. Emma was drawn to Lily, and chilled with her on the grass.

Exhibit E: In the story “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, this was said:

“It generally avoids human contact, is more likely to allow a witch to approach it than a wizard, and is so fleet of foot that it is very difficult to capture.”

I think this is relevant because Lily was on the run, Emma could be considered a witch, and Lily even gave a shoutout to “Harry Potter” in that ep.

Exhibit F: Lily wore her dark hair tied back in a ponytail. Maleficent’s unicorn had a dark haired tail.

Exhibit G: Maleficent’s unicorn wore a black collar, studded with silver bits. Lily wore a cuff that looked like a black leather strap, studded with silver bits, that had been wrapped around her wrist a few times, (the collar would be long enough to wrap around your wrist a few times).

What do you guys think?
