Emma Booth posted many instagram stories where she said she was reading the script for Gothel's backstory. And, we know she is not coming back until this episode so...

And apparently, it is veeeeeeeeeeeeery sad x)

Nice theory, a bit Snow Queen reharsh but nice. They may take cues from the story The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

It isn’t exactly Snow Queen rehash, though I see what you mean. I figured that she had seven sisters because it is the Coven of the Eight and she calls the witches her sisters.

Honestly, I've thought about this, and I doubt it, she's Mother Gothel, she's supposed to be a mother figure to everyone, so her story is likely about motherhood, not sisterhood, either she used to have a daughter or her story is about the relationship with her mother.
