Um, many things, but first, Zelena is already green, I don't think she'd need any real changing.

So, from your username I can tell you love the idea, but

1) Why does Rumple have to be replaced? If you mean, have someone new as the Dark One sure, but making the DO female, just because isn't necessary (especially with every villain arc has tons of female villains).

2) Cruella's dead! It goes by show's logic. If you see a body, then they are dead.

3) Zelena is almost as powerful as Rumple without the dagger, so I don't see why she would want to be the DO. Zelena's isn't the killing type. She would torture him and make him suffer before just killing him.

4) The Apprentice could just simply take the quill and ink away from Cruella and anyone can toss a fireball her way.

5) Cruella still can't kill!

6) We don't know the limits of an Author's power. As far as we know, he can't override the rules of magic, at least alone. So, no ressurection of the dead, no changing the past, and no making someone love you.
