{{Before First Curse|
  +
In the woods, Gretel and her younger brother, [[Hansel (True North)|Hansel]], meet up with their [[Woodcutter (True North)|father]], who is chopping down wood for their hearth. Their father asks them to take the cart and collect dry kindling, but before the two children set off, he gives his compass to Gretel so she and her brother don't get lost and can always find their way back to him. After collecting some kindling, Gretel notices it is getting late and wants to get back to her father. She takes away the slingshot that Hansel is playing with and begins using the compass to navigate the area, while her brother pushes the cart. The siblings arrive back to where they last saw their father, but he is no longer there. As they shout for him, they hear a man crying out in pain and rush out to the road, where they are surprised by a pair of [[Black Knights]], [[Evil Queen|the Queen]]'s guards. Gretel crashes onto the ground to avoid them, which breaks the compass. One of the guards forces the children up and shoves them in front of the Queen, Regina, who questions what they are doing in her woods. Gretel tells her they just lost their father, and while at first Regina expresses sympathy for their plight, she then orders her guards to seize them. While Hansel is told by his sister to run, Gretel hits one of the Queen's guards with the slingshot before fleeing the area. Regina blocks them by teleporting in front of them and then uses roots to pin them to the ground. She calls their escape attempt foolish but also notes their bravery, which is exactly why she decides to spare them. She agrees to find their father for them if they retrieve a black leather satchel from the [[Blind Witch (True North)|Blind Witch]]'s [[Gingerbread House (True North)|house]] that contains [[Poisoned Apple|something]] which was once hers. Regina instructs them to wait until nightfall for when the witch is asleep before going into the house, and she forbids them from eating anything inside the home no matter how tempting they may seem. {{Ep|True North}}

When Gretel's [[The Woodcutter|father]] goes missing in the woods, she and her twin brother, [[Hansel]], decide to go look for him. On the road, the siblings bump into the [[Evil Queen]], who promises to help find their father if they assist her in entering the [[Gingerbread House|home]] of a [[Blind Witch (True North)|Blind Witch]] and stealing a bag. Before the twins set off on this mission, the Queen also warns them against eating anything in the witch's house. Once Hansel and Gretel enter the house, they find the witch asleep inside. By accident, Hansel awakens the slumbering witch when he takes a bite of a cupcake, though Gretel quickly shoves her into the furnace. The twins leave the house unscathed and deliver the bag to the Evil Queen, who opens it to reveal an [[Poisoned Apple|apple]] inside. Impressed by their bravery, the Evil Queen gives them a chance to stay with her instead of finding their father. Hansel and Gretel reject her offer; angering the Queen so much that she [[Magic/Witchcraft|magically]] teleports them into the [[Infinite Forest]]. After doing so, the Queen brings out the children's father, the Woodcutter, who she previously kidnapped. The man takes pride in the fact his children refused to stay with her since "family always stays together". To this, she releases the Woodcutter and states that they can be together as soon as they find each other, though it is impossible since Gretel and Hansel are doomed to wander, forever lost, in the Infinite Forest. {{Ep|True North}} }}

Upon entering the house, Gretel and Hansel become prisoners of the witch after Hansel accidentally wakes her up by taking a bite of a cupcake. As the Blind Witch prepares her oven for cooking Hansel, Gretel instructs her brother to grab a key from the witch's pocket and give it to her so she can unlock the cage door. Hansel, however, is too scared to do it when the witch comes to get him, so Gretel puffs up her cheeks to make the witch choose her instead. Gretel pilfers the key and tosses it to Hansel, who frees himself and goes to get a cane to attack the witch. Hansel trips as Gretel is having her hands bound up, causing the witch to shove Gretel aside as she magically propels the cane out of Hansel's hand. The witch begins dragging Hansel away, but Gretel pushes her onto the cooking rack instead before she and her brother lock her in the oven. After Hansel grabs the leather satchel, he and Gretel flee back to Regina's castle to deliver it to her. The siblings are anxious to be reunited with their father, though Regina ponders if they truly want to be with someone who abandoned them. As Gretel sadly laments that their father is all she and Hansel have, Regina suggests they can live with her and she will give their hearts' desire, with their own rooms, personal carriages, and valets. Despite this, Gretel professes she and her brother only care about finding their father, no matter if he deserted them or not because they don't want to be with someone as terrible as her. Angered at their refusal of her, Regina sends them to the [[Infinite Forest]], where, unknown to the children, their father has also been banished to by the Queen so the three will wander in search of each other forever, never to be reunited. {{Ep3|True North}} }}

{{During First Curse|

Twelve year old [[Nicholas Zimmer|Nicholas]] and Ava Zimmer attempt to steal food from the [[Dark Star Pharmacy|pharmacy]] by putting it into [[Henry Mills|Henry]]'s backpack. When caught, they try to frame him for it, but are taken home by sheriff [[Emma Swan|Swan]]. However, as Emma starts to get out of her car, Ava says her parents would be too embarrassed if she came in. Emma informs them she can tell whenever someone is lying to her, but Ava sticks by the given story.
  +
  +
Seemingly satisfied, Emma watches them go to the doorstep and then drives away. Once she is gone, the children run from the house and take the back alleyway to an abandoned house. They hear someone moving upstairs and go up to investigate to find Emma waiting for them. She asks where their parents are and Ava admits they do not have any.
  +
  +
Searching for information on the siblings' parents, she learns their mother, [[Dory Zimmer|Dory]], passed away some time ago. Her only clue is a trinket Dory used to keep, and she goes to [[Mr. Gold]] to ask him if someone in town purchased the item in his [[Mr. Gold Pawnbroker & Antiquities Dealer|shop]] before. Mr. Gold is able to give her the name of the man, [[Michael Tillman]], a local mechanic. Michael denies the children are his, but recognizes the item Emma shows him, which is something he gave to Dory a long time ago. He wants nothing to do with his kids, especially since he has been unaware of their existence until now, and cannot accept the responsibility. With his outright rejection, Emma has no choice but to follow the plan of bringing the children to [[Boston]] where they will go into the foster care system. As they leave, Emma's car breaks down and she calls Michael.

  +
As the children wait in the car, Ava notices her compass is beginning to move. Michael arrives in his tow truck and realizes the children are his. Ava and Nicholas watch from the backseat as he and Emma converse. Michael agrees to assume care of his children, and makes his way towards them. {{Ep|True North}}}}

—Gretel to the Evil Queen

Gretel, currently known as Ava Zimmer, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. She débuts, with her only appearance, in the ninth episode of the first season and is portrayed by guest star Karley Scott Collins.

Gretel is based on the character of the same name from the fairytale, "Hansel and Gretel".

History

Before First Curse

In the woods, Gretel and her younger brother, Hansel, meet up with their father, who is chopping down wood for their hearth. Their father asks them to take the cart and collect dry kindling, but before the two children set off, he gives his compass to Gretel so she and her brother don't get lost and can always find their way back to him. After collecting some kindling, Gretel notices it is getting late and wants to get back to her father. She takes away the slingshot that Hansel is playing with and begins using the compass to navigate the area, while her brother pushes the cart. The siblings arrive back to where they last saw their father, but he is no longer there. As they shout for him, they hear a man crying out in pain and rush out to the road, where they are surprised by a pair of Black Knights, the Queen's guards. Gretel crashes onto the ground to avoid them, which breaks the compass. One of the guards forces the children up and shoves them in front of the Queen, Regina, who questions what they are doing in her woods. Gretel tells her they just lost their father, and while at first Regina expresses sympathy for their plight, she then orders her guards to seize them. While Hansel is told by his sister to run, Gretel hits one of the Queen's guards with the slingshot before fleeing the area. Regina blocks them by teleporting in front of them and then uses roots to pin them to the ground. She calls their escape attempt foolish but also notes their bravery, which is exactly why she decides to spare them. She agrees to find their father for them if they retrieve a black leather satchel from the Blind Witch's house that contains something which was once hers. Regina instructs them to wait until nightfall for when the witch is asleep before going into the house, and she forbids them from eating anything inside the home no matter how tempting they may seem. ("True North")

Upon entering the house, Gretel and Hansel become prisoners of the witch after Hansel accidentally wakes her up by taking a bite of a cupcake. As the Blind Witch prepares her oven for cooking Hansel, Gretel instructs her brother to grab a key from the witch's pocket and give it to her so she can unlock the cage door. Hansel, however, is too scared to do it when the witch comes to get him, so Gretel puffs up her cheeks to make the witch choose her instead. Gretel pilfers the key and tosses it to Hansel, who frees himself and goes to get a cane to attack the witch. Hansel trips as Gretel is having her hands bound up, causing the witch to shove Gretel aside as she magically propels the cane out of Hansel's hand. The witch begins dragging Hansel away, but Gretel pushes her onto the cooking rack instead before she and her brother lock her in the oven. After Hansel grabs the leather satchel, he and Gretel flee back to Regina's castle to deliver it to her. The siblings are anxious to be reunited with their father, though Regina ponders if they truly want to be with someone who abandoned them. As Gretel sadly laments that their father is all she and Hansel have, Regina suggests they can live with her and she will give their hearts' desire, with their own rooms, personal carriages, and valets. Despite this, Gretel professes she and her brother only care about finding their father, no matter if he deserted them or not because they don't want to be with someone as terrible as her. Angered at their refusal of her, Regina sends them to the Infinite Forest, where, unknown to the children, their father has also been banished to by the Queen so the three will wander in search of each other forever, never to be reunited. ("True North")

During First Curse

Twelve year old Nicholas and Ava Zimmer attempt to steal food from the pharmacy by putting it into Henry's backpack. When caught, they try to frame him for it, but are taken home by sheriff Swan. However, as Emma starts to get out of her car, Ava says her parents would be too embarrassed if she came in. Emma informs them she can tell whenever someone is lying to her, but Ava sticks by the given story.

Seemingly satisfied, Emma watches them go to the doorstep and then drives away. Once she is gone, the children run from the house and take the back alleyway to an abandoned house. They hear someone moving upstairs and go up to investigate to find Emma waiting for them. She asks where their parents are and Ava admits they do not have any.

Searching for information on the siblings' parents, she learns their mother, Dory, passed away some time ago. Her only clue is a trinket Dory used to keep, and she goes to Mr. Gold to ask him if someone in town purchased the item in his shop before. Mr. Gold is able to give her the name of the man, Michael Tillman, a local mechanic. Michael denies the children are his, but recognizes the item Emma shows him, which is something he gave to Dory a long time ago. He wants nothing to do with his kids, especially since he has been unaware of their existence until now, and cannot accept the responsibility. With his outright rejection, Emma has no choice but to follow the plan of bringing the children to Boston where they will go into the foster care system. As they leave, Emma's car breaks down and she calls Michael.

As the children wait in the car, Ava notices her compass is beginning to move. Michael arrives in his tow truck and realizes the children are his. Ava and Nicholas watch from the backseat as he and Emma converse. Michael agrees to assume care of his children, and makes his way towards them. ("True North")
