The other night I watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and it dawned on me that there are some similarities between Tamara and Tia Dalma. For starters, I noticed that before they are introduced both characters are referred to as "Her"

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Gibbs: Now that's the very question Jack wants answered. Bad enough even to go visit...her.

Will Turner: Her?

Once Upon a Time (Episode: In the Name of the Brother)

Emma: "Her". Cute. David: Probably a girlfriend.

Another similarity would have to be that both Tamara and Tia Dalma have quite extensive knowledge of magic. Both of them have allied themselves with pirates before as well, and both of them have caused a whirlpool of sorts to appear magically in the ocean. Their names are also ever so slightly similar, and although I wanted to stay off the topic of their skin colors, they are also similar. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if this was just me picking bits out and making a big deal about it, but both Once Upon a Time and Pirates of the Caribbean are owned by Disney so who knows..?
