(7) ?

There is no Eighth Witch, I believe, as in the eponymously-titled episode Regina was meant to fulfill that role. There was Drizella, Gothel and five other witches seen in that episode, so therefore there are only seven in the coven (even though they are called The Coven Of The Eight).

~ The creators confirmed a character from the Haunted Mansion would be in 7B, so this is the most sensical.

BTS footage and pictures from Emma Booth’s Instagram shows two new actresses: one with braided, blonde hair, and another with dark hair and pale skin. While the former is wearing gold, which typically denotes a courageous or heroic character in fiction, the other is wearing blue/silver underneath her coat. I believe the latter shares physical similarities with Morgana Le Fay, so that’s why I put her on my revised list.

They need a way to include Tiana in this new story, so it makes sense to put a character from the Princess and the Frog in there, even if she was previously a good character.

I hope Baba Yaga happens, but they haven’t done Russian fairy tales before (except for if you count Emma’s Dark Swan arc as an allusion to Swan Lake).

No idea who the seventh witch may be, but it could potentially be an original character or a character who was previously-adapted as a protagonist/hero (a la Peter Pan). I think they are trying to mess with us. What if it is: 1. Gothel 2. Anastasia 3. Leota 4. Evil Queen (Wish Realm) 5. Emma Swan (Wish Realm) 6. Goldilocks 7. French Snow White 8. Wish Emmas sister
