I don't think she'll be related to Rapunzel or Gothel. At first, I thought so, but I think that's too much to pile on in the first season of this character. For example, Regina played the role of The Queen, and that's pretty much it. Later on, she takes the role of a Disney-style Ursula and other stuff.

It's a how Rumple was the Beast and kinda-the Fairy Godmother. I think Lady Tremaine will just be the Wicked Stepmother and the Duchess.
