I really like a theory of my own that Maleficent became Red Riding Hood and Red became Maleficent.

Think about it;

Maleficent and Red are both Regina and Snow's best friends respectively.

Both can transform into fearsome beasts.

An (internal) reason as to Red not being in the finale would be that she lives far away in the forbidden fortress.

And I really wish we got to see Maleficent in Red Riding Hood attire rescue Regina from the Queen instead of Robin but we can't have everything...
