That would probably be a more powerful choice than a random new villain that they throw into the mix. Adam and Eddy already hinted, that the hooded figure is someone we already met. Emma is someone we already met Exactly.... but, unfortunately, that might mean the return of the Dark Swan. It could just be a regular looking Emma Swan as "her own worst enemy."

And they kept saying that this season was about the characters looking within themselves so that would be in line with this theory. We'll get to see Jekyll and Regina literally fighting themselves this season but they could have Emma going through an internal battle without the separation.
