I'm not sure when the show is going to adapt Rapunzel, but when they do I think Regina should take the place of Mother Gothel, but in this version she doesn't take Rapunzel from her parents, Rapunzel is the daughter of Regina and Daniel, but when was born sick, so Rumplestiltskin gave Regina a magic flower to fed to her, but when she fed it to her Rapunzel's hair turned blonde and Regina was told to never cut her hair or Rapunzel would die. Regina wanted to keep Rapunzel a secret from King Leopold and didn't want to lose her like she lost Daniel, so Regina kept her locked in a tower and over time her hair grew to great length. Later Pricne Eugene's dad wants him to marry Snow White, but then he comes across Rapunzel's tower and falls in love with her, but then Regina disocvers Rapunzel's secret and attemps to move her to a new hiding place, but then Rumpelstiltskin agrees to free her from the tower in exchange for her hair because it had great healing abilities and could be cut without her dying because she was eighteen. Later Regina realizes she had treated Rapunzel just as Cora treated her and when the curse struck Rapunzel and her prince where in the Sleeping Beauty kingdom, leaving them behind, and Regina's experinces with Rapunzel eventually leds her to adopt Henry and tries to be a better parent with him. In 202 Regina mentioned something about driving someone away, it would be cool if she were talking about Rapunzel. It's only an idea, but Rumplestiltskin would also be a good Mother Gothel, or maybe Mother Gothel is the counterpart of the Severe Nurse.
