Rumple, Belle, Jafar, Will, and maybe Ursula.

Some people say Will is just for comic relief but I guess they haven't watched OUaTiW in a while. He was funny and sharp witted in the spinoff but there was also a gravity to his character. This was a person who experienced emotions so deeply, he had to remove his own heart to survive and reclaim it to get his happy ending. And he is a very non fairy tale like character in a fairy tale setting. Out of all the people in the OUaT universe, Will is the only one who gave a very realistic definition of the true nature of love. He said love is about laughing and crying and fighting and making up and struggling and forgiving each other.
