Part of the issue is that the description is pretty vague. Are there more than one Guardian because that really could be hundreds of people, despite us knowing that there must be an extra element as Truest Love, Light Magic Wielding Emma became a Dark One even though she fitted that description.

“Pure of Heart. Incorruptible by Evil. Willing to Sacrifice.”

Anastasia has a pure heart. “Purest” if we go by Tremaine. The only way to bring her back was an equal pure heart.

So, the candidates are pretty much:

1. Anastasia

2. Lucy

3. Henry

Given the story hints, as Gothel appears to see sacrificing Henry or Lucy as a means to get Anastasia back, at the very least, Gothel appears to be stepping in after Anastasia is awake signifying that Gothel believes it to be Anastasia, whether it’s actually her or not.

Definite knows are: Tiana, Ella, Tremaine, Gothel, Rumple, Regina, Drizella
