The author might have made her grow old, go back in time, travel to the future, then become a child again, anything XD I will respectfully disagree with you. The Author has shown no such power and it's quite speculative to think he has other powers than to override free will and record. According to what has been shown, Cruella's story comes before Alice's since Adult Cruella was in EF, while Alice was still growing up and meeting Cyrus. I meant the Apprentice/Sorcerer.

Of course you can disagree, and of course it is far-fetched. But I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true. It no longer seems that rules of magic are something writers care about, sadly I'd like to disagree with you because I think that the creators DO care and have always maintained the rules of magic to be constant throughout the series. Rumple said that "dead is dead." Graham and Neal died and they both didn't return. Mother Superior didn't die because her shadow was ripped from her and then she got it back. As for Mal, she was undead because Regina sustained her in whatever form she was in, and Emma destroyed her dragon form. As for Zelena, she didn't die because as she said that her life force merely fled her body and activated the time portal. Glinda told Zelena that without her pendant, she would have no powers, essentially it would be her life. Unfortunately for her, since Regina stole her pendant, she was caught off-guard by Rumple when he stabbed her in the jail cell. She didn't die as the pendant still contained her power, which sustained her life.
