I agree that she doesn't have to be anybody important. Adam and Eddy are really very good at casting roles, and then maintaining the continuity of the role (look at characters like Regina's Father, Cinderella, etc). That really does add a sense of "realism" to the stories, when even the minor roles are recurring. But I, too, love the theories, and I'll throw one out just for the fun of it.

what we know: She is a nurse on the Psych ward at Storybrooke Hospital. (She may be the head nurse, that we don't know).

The fairies became Nuns in Storybrooke.

Now for the stretch.. One role that Nuns filled back in the day was as Nurses in Hospitals (Nowadays, that is not the case as much), so maybe the Severe Nurse is a fairy, or a FORMER fairy. what if she turns out to be the Black Fairy?
