I'm still pretty sure Alice is the Guardian. She was the one locked in the tower, after all. I suspect we'll see what kind of sacrifice she's willing to make in 710, which is tied to how she's still awake under the effects of the curse.

Alice is basically the new Rumple. She has a hand in everything -- Hook and Gothel's daughter, friends with Cindy's mom, trying to protect Henry for Rumple, possibly dating Robin, and probably (at least in my opinion) the Guardian. The difference is, whereas Rumple plans to get involved in everything for his own gain, Alice is accidentally involved in everything because she likes helping people.
