It used to bug me, but now I just accept her as canon without thinking about her too much. They could have retconned her as one of the Graeae or one of the Fates. It's that one sentence naming her Miss Ginger that really makes me think she was originally going to be the Blind Witch. That had to be the most obvious name of all the cursed names. (Though I didn't know it was the same actress until later.) Maybe she was created when the True North Blind Witch was killed to create a balance? Or since Hilda was a Blind Witch in Oz, maybe she was  a Blind Witch from another realm. Nah, she's from the EF. She appears during Regina's first attempt to cast the curse in Episode 102, before crushing her father's heart.
