Which is why it would be a shame, if OUaT kills her off half-way through the season. Why would they kill her off? They are still introducing her. Have you been watching OUaT for the past 6 seasons? The show has a lovely habid of killing off characters, just as they start getting interesting. Besides, if Drizella is revealed as the one truly responsible for Anastasia's death, there is no way Victoria would not kill Ivy. Graham, Merlin, Robin, Cora, Tamara, and Neal come to mind.

I actually think if Drizella is involved in Ana's death, she'll make it out alive. Narratively, her death is only shocking if it's unintentional or undeserved. If we recently discovered that she's a horrible person, then her death is too obvious and just kills a plot line for no reason. But if we have a heart-warming moment where Ivy admits to her mother that all she's ever wanted is her love and acceptance, then Victoria rips out her heart and says "Sorry, but I like your sister better," then it adds new depth to Victoria -- albeit in a horribly wicked manner -- and gives the audience cause to hate her. (Just like Graham's death in Season 1.)

Based on the interviews with Adelaide about Drizella, though, she is the truly terrible one, in which case she's more likely to kill someone dramatically (perhaps she re-kills Anastasia later). Unless she turns out to be a Big Bad, in which case she can get a defeat scene, but only with consequences for another character -- Cindy kills her while Tremaine, Ana, and Lucy are watching. (Just like Cora's death in Season 2.)
