I think that Tamara is human. I believe with her words "Magic is unholy" this is a legacy or motto for an organization against magic.

My theory is that people like Tamara and Greg are ones who have been affected by magic in some way. Greg had his dad stolen.

Neal said he had visited a few worlds before settling here. Maybe he popped in here when Tamara was little and something happened.

But there are quite a few stories by whoch humans have crossed paths with magic. Alice was tricked by a white rabbit down a hole to wonderland. Dorothy was blown to Oz.

What if their recovery from those events weren't the happy ever after we were led to believe?

Alice and Dorothy could have spent years in therapy to get over what happened. What if Tamara had convinced them to join her? Peter Pan was constantly coming into our world looking for open windows. What if Tamara was Peter Pan's first "Wendy" sort of speak or maybe Wendy's granddaughter? Disney's Peter Pan 2 was about Wendy's daughter Jane who wanted to grow up. She was stolen by Hook.

In a place as big as New York, she seemed to have found Neal pretty easy. I bet they ran paths before when she was little. As Neal said, if he had stayed in our world, he'd be over 200 years old. So when he was world jumping, he could have come here a few times looking for a good time period, but slowing his aging down in the other worlds.

I bet Tamara's group consists of people whose heads and lives have been completely messed up by magic. I will also wager that they have the writer of the book. How else would they get the knowledge to block Regina's magic and figure out that electric shock, if given in the dose, will kill a magical creature.
