She was probably either a random witch who happened to be blind, or like I said they planned her to be the gingerbread Blind Witch (Miss Ginger) and kinda just threw her in and planned the Emma stuff later (let’s remember this was only episode 2) and don’t forget Maleficent was introduced in Season 1 as a side character with only two appearances and was almost a villainous princess who cursed a sleeping beauty. In Season 4, she became a main antagonist with a new wardrobe, was revealed to be pregnant and lots more changes. Ursula was introduced in Season 3 as Regina and the statue. Then in Season 4 it turns out there’s a real Ursula. The stepsisters were introduced in 1x04, one was eventually implied to be Anastasia the Queen and then in Season 6, two completely different looking girls (from 1x04) are introduced and Anastasia is never mentioned. My point with all of this being that they don’t always plan ahead and sometimes side plot lines get changed.
