We already now that that it was Hercules who instructed her to shoot an arrow and become the heroic warrior she was meant to be. Since he was a hero who taught her, there may have been other true heroes to instructed her two.

I can see Tarzan being the one to teach her to throw a spear and talk to animals, cause the showrunners confessed that Tarzan was their intention for him to appear in the show. Perhaps in a revival, he could.

Also, if their was another hero who can teach her to handle a blade, it can be the real heroic Pan, only she would unknowingly know that that’s who he really is, because he gave himself a fake name for a tragic reason until the end. He may have taught her when they were young. He could call himself Peter Banning (another reference to Hook, like how Rufio was mentioned), because he felt shame of his real name because Malcolm tarnished and corrupted his very name, and was living in exile in the enchanted forest since. Until in the future, Peter would appear to be about The Charming’s age (another reference in Hook), Snow and Pan would reunite and Peter will confess his real identity of who he really is and tell her why. But Peter could have another backstory about his parents like, his mom was human and his dad was a Fairy Prince. Which could show why he looks human but can fly (a reference to Pan). Also his parents too could be murdered by villains, Pirates. His mom may be murdered by Blackbeard, and his dad was murdered by Hook (references from Pan and Neverland).

Now those would be good stories and twists.

Since one of you mentioned Sherlock Holmes, you reminded me of the Hound of Baskerville. I can see him picked up and recruited by the Queen to hunt down and kill Snow, before he might turn on her in the end because of Snow’s kindness and by feeding him well. But also, he could be used to be under control of Cruella (if they bought her back from the dead) with other animal characters Cruella would control like, the wolf from Three Little Pigs, the Real wolf from Peter and the Wolf, the real Wolf from Red Riding Hood, the Wolf from the 7 little kids, athe wolf from the boy who cried wolf, The real Tick Tick Crocodile, Moby Dick, and maybe others like Shere Khan. We definitely did not need to learn all of those things, Hercules made her cool is all we need, if they had enough time for the rest of it we’d be in season 25 and we’d have seen Lucy’s granddaughter be born.

I think that a lot of these reimaginings would only be needed after S7, when you make a bunch of new versions with different twists, not just tying them into the other stories. A new Peter Pan isn’t bad but it’s also not truly necessary, I’d be interested to see the rest of Moby Dick or the Jungle Book but those aren’t really necessary either, maybe Moby Dick in S8 but none of those stuff really fit anywhere.
