For example.... I feel, that Ariel was used much better than Aurora. Ariel was only in four episodes, but she always served a purpose to the plot. Whether it was interacting with the main characters, or tying up her own story arc. Whereas, most of the time, Aurora is just on-screen for no real reason. She should not have been in as many episodes, as she was.

I agree. Some characters are not on for long and serve a purpose, but others are just put in because the writers want to have them on the show and serve no purpose at all.
