* ICantDance: Apparently Regina, a former queen, doesn't know how to dance, and didn't try to learn in Storybrooke's GroundhogDayLoop. The reason is a bit sad, as she never learned to dance because her husband King Leopold only ever was interested in dancing with Snow at the royal balls they used to attend.

* AdaptationalBadass: For all intents and purposes, while she was a sorceress in the original Disney movie and Grimm's fairy tale, she contented herself with being the "fairest of them all" and leave it at that. In the series, she is a formidable sorceress well-versed in magic, has her personal army and cast a curse on all of her world (the latter event with other villains' help, but still).

** Occasionally neglectful and frequently emotionally manipulative to Henry, and is gaslighting him about his belief in the curse. She genuinely loves him though and seems to have been unambiguously a good and caring if somewhat controlling mother prior to the conflict between Henry and her about the fairy tale characters, placing her mostly in this type. This leads to a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment when Henry finally [[CallingTheOldManOut confronts]] her about her gaslighting. Emotional and mental abuse still continues after this, though. At several points throughout Season 2 she's attempted to kill members of Henry's family, tries to put him under a love curse, and casts a spell to wipe his memory. Even if she was doing this out of love, she still knowingly hurt Henry directly, which puts her firmly in this category. This is not even getting into all her actions against her stepdaughter Snow in Fairy Tale Land, even if she had a FreudianExcuse for that. Thankfully part of her CharacterDevelopment is shedding this and turning her into a full on MamaBear along with Emma, refusing any harm to come to him.

This leads to a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment when Henry finally [[CallingTheOldManOut confronts]] her about her gaslighting. Emotional and mental abuse still continues after this, though. At several points throughout Season 2 she's attempted to kill members of Henry's biological family, tries to put him under a love curse, and casts a spell to wipe his memory. Even if she was doing this out of love, she still knowingly hurt Henry directly, which puts her firmly in this category. This is not even getting into all her actions against her stepdaughter Snow in Fairy Tale Land, even if she had a FreudianExcuse for that.
