1. Name of character in the story: Circe

2. Name of character in our world: Circe Langham

3. Description: Circe was Nimue's apprentice until Nimue died. Feared throughout her village, Circe had a talent for turning her enemies into animals. Circe built herself a mansion and demanded payment from everyone in the village at the foot of the mountains where she lived. However, three brothers stood up to her, and so Circe gathered the strongest men in the village and turned them into wolves; thus starting the line of lycanthropy in the Enchanted Forest. She sent the werewolves to kill the three brothers, but they defeated the wolves and travelled to Circe's mansion. Circe, however, proved to be too powerful and turned the three brothers into three little pigs. As Circe's power grows, the Blue Fairy intervenes and imprisons Circe in the island of Aeaea. When the Dark Curse hits, Circe becomes "Circe Langham" - a prisoner in the hospital asylum.

4. Special skills/power: Although Circe knows normal dark magic (teleportation, fireballs etc.) she has a special talent or perhaps a liking towards turning humans into animals.

5. Connection to OUAT characters: The mansion in the mountains she used to live in was found and salvaged by Rumplestiltskin. One of the three brothers was a man named Laertes, who had a son called Odysseus. Odysseus used a tracking spell to find his father at the mansion and found out that "a practitioner of dark magic" had turned him into a pig. Therefore, Odysseus blamed Rumplestiltskin and vowed revenge. (This is why Rumplestiltskin is confused when he is accused of turning a butcher into a pig by the butcher's son.)

6. Portrayed by (if given an opportunity to be featured in OUAT): Robin Wright
