'''Anything you can tease about Baba Yaga or Rothbart? - Truest Believer'''

Let's go with option 2! "Rothbart (played by Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi) is an interesting villain", the creator says, "although we won't likely see his whole backstory (episode 7 flashback will enlight another chapter of Emma's life), we know that he is from New Enchanted Forest (the realm introduced in season 7) and he's going to have a big part in the present day storyline of the episode. We start from what is his goal in the original fairytale, and we put our Once Upon a Time spin to it."
