THe heartless mother of Regina, the Queen of Hearts, or the one at the end after she got her heart back. I doubt, it will make much of a difference. Cora was pretty ruthless, and power-hungry  before she ripped out her heart. Cora was ruthless with her heart, I agree. But the Queen of Hearts was not quite as ruthless. We saw some of that with Cora in 'Mother', and also when she interacted with Ana in Wonderland. Maybe it is just me, but Cora Queen of Hearts felt different than Cora the Miller's daughter turned nobility. (I mean, Cora did seem to genuinely be sorry for her treatment of Daniel when she and Regina interacted in Mother).

And the final scene with Cora after she got her heart back felt like there might be yet another side of Cora that we never even saw (because she was heartless). Even though they changed the heart dynamic, I'm still thinking they are going with the Cora/Will heart thingy. Cora likely had a flood of emotion, but she's back to her old self. Ambitious, but still human.

QOH Cora did say she was going to rip her daughter heart out without a second thought. I'm pretty sure she was ruthless. Cora without her hesart is like Will without his heart, a bit cold and emotionally shallow, but still themselves. However, love still sort of shines through at times.
