I say we classify the characters' affiliation based on their most current deeds, and not the bad things they had in the long ago past. I really think it's not fair to hold Regina's past cruel acts against her, and say she's still evil because she hasn't made up for those actions when Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold hasn't done the same either.

The Neutral affiliation, in the past, has been used for characters whose affinity is highly debated, or that their actions are neither good or bad. I don't really see the point of putting down people who used to be villains as neutrals. That's almost like saying because those people were villains their whole lives that they can never really change to be good.

I believe Regina and Hook have turned over new leaves. So they could be classified as heroes. Mr. Gold, however, I see is still struggling. As much as I perceive he was made to do those things by Zelena's command, he still has issues letting go of his vengeance and not lying to Belle. I'd put him under Neutral, maybe.
