It's pretty! https://twitter.com/greenway_luke/status/900991109702205440) Hmm... so even though this should be a Tiana centric, Tremaine, Drizella, and the Mystery Witch appear. Interesting. Unless it is actually Drizella's???? Drizella's doesn't make much sense. Yes, she wants to marry for money, but Tiana has a lot of reasons to be associated with "greenbacks" as we discussed (money - Tiana's restaurant, Naveen's parents, Charlotte; and frogs, obviously)

It isn't surprising that Tremaine appears -- she is the new Regina (so to speak) after all -- and Drizella/Ivy will likely be following Tremaine/Victoria around quite a bit since she appears to be her assistant. Not to mention, we have a fire at Mr. Cluck's apparently. That seems like the kind of thing Victoria and Ivy would have their nose in, no? Maybe Victoria is working to get it shut down with all the damages and Tiana and Cindy try to raise enough money to stop her.

As for the mystery witch... we don't know enough about her to accurately speculate her exact role but since she is, after all, a mystery, it's not surprising that she'll be around quite a bit. Maybe she's playing the role of Mr. Gold and will be a morally ambiguous helper to Tiana and Cindy in Hyperion Heights. Or maybe she plays a role in The Princess and the Frog; she could be a female Dr. Facilier or maybe a more morally ambiguous Mama Odie. The original novel that the Disney movie was loosely based on (not The Frog Prince but The Frog Princess) has several witches: Grassina, the princess's aunt; Vannabe, an ugly but vain witch wannabe; and Mudine, the witch responsible for the prince and princess's curse. I doubt that Once will use any of these characters directly but an allusion could be made through the witch while her true identity is something else we'll find out about later.
