Board Thread:Character Discussion/@comment-31722073-20181114010757

So I’ve been reading some old threads about major and minor characters and thought it would be fun to look at her they are as of the end of Once so here this is.

My opinion is that S1-S6 is easy to figure out, Emma, Regina and Rumple are the “leads” overall with stories revolving around them. Snow was a lead in S1-S2 and a second-tier (supporting) lead in S3-S4 and and third pillar lead after. Now David was a supporting lead while Snow was lead and third pillar afterwards. Belle was third tier for her whole time as regular and recurred in S1. Zelena was a supporting lead in 3B (due to villian) recurring in 4B, third tier in 5A and 6 with a spike up to low supporting in 5B. Hook has been pretty solidly a supporting lead since S2 with fluctuations in the level of importance throughout the arcs, near a full lead in S5. Henry was a supporting lead in S1 with a fluctuating third tier status afterwards. Every other character that was main cast was third tier or recurring except August and Graham who were supporting during their time in S1. Cora, Pan, Elsa, Ingrid, and Hades were secondary during their arcs.

Now S7 is the hard part, for that I’d say that Roni and Weaver were still leads with Nook and Henry replacing Emma as first tier. Jacinda and Lucy we’re supporting, as was Victoria during her time and Tiana was third tier. Now Alice, Ivy, Gothel and Margot to a bit are the hard ones. At first Alice was recurring but she soon jumped to Secondary while Margot was third tier since she appeared in HH. Ivy was secondary for her whole time though it wasn’t realized until her first centric. Gothel was fluctuating between third tier and secondary the whole time after Ivy got her freed but I’m not making a category for her because having theee tiers that doesn’t just have Hook in the middle is already a departure from every other opinion.
