Morgan le Fay

Mordred

King Arthur

Queen Guinevere

Merlin

The Knights of the Round Table

The Questing Beast (fairy tale flashback)

Greek mythology characters (more King Midas, Hades (a lot they could do with Hades - love the idea of characters coming back), Zeus, Hercules, Odysseus, Pandora herself, the Minotaur, Circe, Polyphemus the Cyclops, The Lotus Eaters, Scylla and Charybdis, etc, etc.)

Jadis - the White Witch, Aslan, and the Pevensie children

Dr. Facilier, Tiana, and Prince Naveen

Tarzan, Jane, Clayton, etc

Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman

Count Dracula and Van Helsing, possibly even Mina Murray, Jonathan Harker, and Dracula's brides

Pocahontas (*Not a fairy tale, but neither is Frozen which was only based off 'The Snow Queen' so...)

The Sanderson Sisters from "Hocus Pocus"

Captain Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones (ONLY IF they can get Johnny Depp)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Bogeyman

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Horned King and "Black Cauldron" characters

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Three Musketeers

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dorian Gray

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Baba Yaga

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Scheherazade

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Aladdin, Jasmine, and more of the Genie's life with them prior to being enslaved as the Magic Mirror (and possibly his connection to Cyrus and his brothers from OUAT in Wonderland)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">(for video gamers) MAYBE Sora, Riku, and Kairi from "Kingdom Hearts". Portal-jumpers like the Mad Hatter/Jefferson perhaps?

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Romeo and Juliet

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Beowulf, <span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Grendel (more of him and why he became the way he is in "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland"), and Grendel's Mother

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Jack and Jill (they could have the last name 'Hickathrift' like the 'Jack Hickathrift' folktale, who could also be the same person as Jack the Giant Killer, who could have a sister named Jill. The magical wishing well in Storybrooke still needs an explanation as to how it became magical, after all...) side note: There still needs to be an explanation for Jack's connection to the Jabberwocky mentioned in Season 2

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Mombi, the Wicked Witch of the North in Oz, and the Nome King

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Wicked Dwarf from "Snow White and Rose Red" (the banished eighth of the Seven Dwarves, perhaps, who became an ally of the Evil Queen? If you remember "The Thing You Loved Most", there was a gmome/dwarf that laughed at the Queen when she first failed to enact the Dark Curse, who she turned to stone. Perhaps this could be him.)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Dark Fairy mentioned by the Blue Fairy during the Neverland arc (could this be Carabosse, the original "Sleeping Beauty" evil fairy godmother and the mother of Maleficent? We still don't know Maleficent's backstory, but from Regina's backstory we know that somehow Cora got posession of a spell book belonging to Maleficent. Could Carabosse and Cora have been friends; two evil mothers influencing both of their daughters' lives?)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Bluebeard (who in youth could have been Little Boy Blue before the tragic incident that turned him into a ruthless serial killer of women)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Goldilocks and the Three Bears

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Mowgli, Shere Khan, Baloo, Khaa, and the other "Jungle Book" characters

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rapunzel and Mother Gothel (we saw Rapunzel briefly in one badly written episode during the Wicked Witch arc, but Rapunzel needs justice done to her story)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Muffin Man of Drury Lane (a famous confectioner in the Enchanted Forest in the service of royalty and the abusive father of the Blind Witch from "Hansel and Gretel", who is responsible for blinding her, which enforced her to start practicing magic in an attempt to restore her eyesight. When he found out that she was practicing magic, he threatened to have the village burn her as a witch, forcing her into the Enchanted Forest. There, she crafted a gingerbread house to live in, and in seclusion, she decided to start eating children)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Edmond Dantés, the Count of Monte Cristo

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">King Oberon, Queen Titania, Puck, Mustardseed, Cobweb, Peaseblossom, and Moth from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (we still don't know much about fairy hierarchy, after all, and it would be cool to see more of the fairies again (and is also a good reason to bring Nova, the fairy Grumpy fell in love with, back into the picture! This could also tie into the Dark Fairy/Carabosse storyline)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Winnie the Pooh (he could own a sweets shop in Storybrooke and Christopher Robin could be a classmate of Henry's)

<span style="font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16.9px;white-space:pre-wrap;">(*Already shown, but....) The Jabberwocky (the writers confirmed that she was released by an unknown person at the end of "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland"), Jafar, the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda the Good Witch, the Snow Queen, the Queen of Hearts, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia/the Red Queen and Drizella, Evil Queen when she was still evil, Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, and both Blind Witches (*more of them! And Drizella's first speaking role!) (*even if just in flashbacks)﻿ <ac_metadata title="Characters that should be on ONCE: Do you agree with my list?"> </ac_metadata>
