I think Rumple is a composite Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. He's a coward, he lost his mind, and now he's losing his heart. This is further exemplified by Zelena who tells a temporary dead Rumple and epic line, "Hollow. What a beautiful echo!" This mirrors the line the Scarecrow said to the Tin man once he got a heart.

Zelena is obviously Dorothy representative, with her wicked side being the Witch. Even Dorothy on Once was just a replacement for Zelena as the illusive element of innocence. So, there's all the characters. I guess Robin's ToTo!
