She was the original power, ruler of the night, and stuff before Rumple was the Dark One. I just realized maybe the Blue Fairy is simply the original power of the fairies, which seems to be true since she can unfairy a fairy.

Also, we never seen a fairy that outranks her. So, we can't say if she was promoted because most of the fairies are her subordinates.

Yes. We can't be sure. We can be pretty sure she has been the head though, because everything we've seen implies that Blue is the head fairy and has been for quite some time. She knows all about The Dark One and goes to talk to him, and as Eskaver said, this was hundreds of years before Regina and Snow. Blue may have not always been the head fairy (we don't know enough about the fairies origin), but she definitly was way before Sleeping Beauty came about.
