If so, She may return in a Brave Arc such as when Snow got Turned into a bear (by mistake from Emma or that she took the enchanted spell to prevent Emma from eating or drinking it) Cruella will briefly control her (like she did to other animals like Pongo) to kill Isaac and she may succeed. Leaving Snow scared and ashamed. Of course, Everyone who Snow knew will know that she is not capable of doing a thing like that and won't blame her. If anything, it would be a flashback because you can't bring back the dead. She is really dead. ANd there will be no Brave arc because unlike Frozen, Brave:

1) Not based on a fairytale

2) Isn't as popular, not popular enough to give an entire arc to Don't be so certain about the no Brave arc. Edward Zachary Sunrose said and I Quote: "All in all, despite not being based on a literary fairy tale, Brave is very much a modern day fairy tale (people still make new ones to this day) and could work in perfectly with Once. The whole "motherly love" and "true love comes in many forms" themes are present in both works, Mor'du the villain seems almost tailor-made for Rumple to assume his role on the show, having been a man who became a beast for power, and Merida IS one of the Disney princesses, so there might be some pressure from the Disney people to get her on the show anyway LOL." What is your excuse on that? I really hate it when you say things that sound like you are denial. And anyway when you said "you can't bring back the dead." That is what you say. Have you forgotten that Rumple and Maleficent were brought back from the dead? And you would argue with that? Regarding Rumple and Maleficent. Rumple was, at the time, the dark one. and while it has been established that Rumple can die (in a manner of speaking), the Dark one can not. The resurrection of Rumple cost Neal his life (all magic comes at a price, dearie). So including Rumple in any kind of list while he was the Dark One is irrelavent, as the rules don't seem to apply to the Dark One.

Maleficent, on the other hand, was never fully dead. The dark curse and other magic preserved her, kept her from fully dying. They made that clear throughout the show, going all the way back to season 2. So since she was not dead, it was possible to restore her.

Verified deaths, such as Cora, Neal, and Cruella, are irreversible (without breaking the laws of magic). The only deaths that have been truely reversed are David's and Ana's.

I guess that is to say that you CAN reverse death (I suppose anything is possible with magic at some point), but from a story perspecitve, if you use that too much, then death becomes meaningless.

As far as Brave is concerned, I can see that one from either side. It would not surprise me if Merida made an appearance at some point. And given that Andy and Eddy have said that they would like to include Merida, I expect that it will happen if at all possible. However, I don't see Merida becoming a major character. She will likely be in a similar place as Mulan, Cinderella, and Aurora, and now Elsa.
