[[caption-width-right:350:''"Don't mess with me. I don't like insolence."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Barbara Hershey
Regina's mother.
* AbusiveParents: [[SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction Type IV]] and how! Cora abused Regina physically and emotionally, tried to make her a GoldDigger, and finally [[spoiler: ripped out the heart of the man Regina loved.]] There are only hints about her having a tragic backstory, so, if they aren't further explored, the writers' treatment will be this.
* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:To Daniel right before crushing it and killing him. In front of Regina.]]
* AscendedExtra: An absolutely terrifying version.
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Her entire plan revolves around Regina saving Snow White.]]
* BeatStillMyHeart: [[spoiler:Cora did this to Daniel in front of Regina.]]
* BiggerBad: It appears that Cora is being set up to be the BigBad of Season 2, as she is still alive in Fairy Tale Land and [[spoiler:scheming to find a way to Storybrooke and exact her revenge on Regina for pushing her through the mirror]]. Snow mentions that no matter how badly Regina has acted, Cora is ''worse''.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Rumplestiltskin may have taught her to rip out hearts, but she made it an ''art form'' with her oh so warm and welcoming vault of still beating hearts.
* CompositeCharacter: Cora combines a few elements of the Miller's Daughter (from the original ''Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}'' fairy tale) and the Queen of Hearts from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
* ConsummateLiar: Unsurprising, given she's the one Regina inherited it from. [[spoiler:She fools ''everyone'' in the settlement into thinking she was powerless and replacing Lancelot without Mulan or Snow (who knew Lancelot) realizing until she slipped by mentioning Henry.]]
* [[spoiler:DeadPersonImpersonation]]: [[spoiler:Has been masquerading as Lancelot for quite some time.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In "The Stable Boy", we are introduced to Regina riding a horse with her father complimenting on her skill. Then her mother shows up, derides her for [[TomboyPrincess riding her horse in a masculine form]], and uses magic to restrain her while she [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech insults various choices Regina made in her life]].
* EvilMatriarch
* EvilOldFolks
* FauxAffablyEvil: Always speaks with a maternally put-upon tone that suggests a constant attitude of "really, dear, if you weren't so ''unreasonable'', [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou I wouldn't have had to torture you.]]"
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Cora wants this for Regina and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Implied.
* GoldDigger: Heavily implied.

* IceQueen
* ItsAllAboutMe
* KnightTemplarParent
* LadyOfBlackMagic
* LoveIsAWeakness
* ManipulativeBitch
* MasterOfIllusion[=/=]VoluntaryShapeshifting: Shows a more fully realized version of Regina's ability transform into an old crone in ''Hat Trick'' by [[spoiler:posing as Lancelot.]]
* MeaningfulName: The meaning of "Cora" in Greek is "The Maiden Of Hearts" which is fitting because she made a habit out of [[spoiler:ripping a person's heart out, killing them.]]
* MindOverMatter
* MyBelovedSmother
* [[spoiler: {{Necromancer}}]]: Apparently, she wasn't scary enough.
* NeverMessWithGranny: ''Ever''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks about the same in the present as she did when Regina was a teenager.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: [[spoiler:Regina loved Daniel. She... disapproved.]]
* RagsToRiches: She was born a miller's daughter--confirmed to be [[{{Rumpelstiltskin}} THE miller's daughter]] in "We Are Both"--and became landed gentry through various [[DealWithTheDevil deals]]. She won't settle for anything less than her daughter going even further up the social ladder.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She's usually seen dressed in a black and dark red dress.
* RichBitch
* TheSociopath: Casually tortures her daughter to get her way, [[spoiler:kills the man said daughter loves]]...
* StageMom: Makes her daughter miserable because she'd rather Regina be queen than happy. Or, as she puts, being queen is the only way Regina will be happy (even if she disagrees on that point) because power is real and love is an illusion.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C.
* TheUnfettered: No matter what deal she has to make, no matter whose life she has to end, Regina ''will'' marry up. Barbara Hershey, who also played a StageMom in the movie ''BlackSwan'', says that Cora would consider her ''Black Swan'' character "weak".
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Henry.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:May have arranged for Snow's horse to go crazy in the first place, which could have ''killed'' her.]]
* {{Yandere}}: If Cora ''does'' actually love Regina, it's a possessive and cruel love that doesn't allow for deviation from what ''she'' wants.

->'''Played by:''' Barbara Hershey
Regina's mother.
* AbusiveParents: [[SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction Type IV]] and how! Cora abused Regina physically and emotionally, tried to make her a GoldDigger, and finally [[spoiler: ripped out the heart of the man Regina loved.]] There are only hints about her having a tragic backstory, so, if they aren't further explored, the writers' treatment will be this.
* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:To Daniel right before crushing it and killing him. In front of Regina.]]
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Her entire plan revolves around Regina saving Snow White.]]
* BeatStillMyHeart: [[spoiler:Cora did this to Daniel in front of Regina.]]
* BiggerBad: It appears that Cora is being set up to be the BigBad of Season 2, as she is still alive in Fairy Tale Land and [[spoiler:scheming to find a way to Storybrooke and exact her revenge on Regina for pushing her through the mirror]]. Snow mentions that no matter how badly Regina has acted, Cora is ''worse''.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Rumplestiltskin may have taught her to rip out hearts, but she made it an ''art form'' with her oh so warm and welcoming vault of still beating hearts.
* CompositeCharacter: Cora combines a few elements of the Miller's Daughter (from the original ''Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}'' fairy tale) and the Queen of Hearts from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
* ConsummateLiar: Unsurprising, given she's the one Regina inherited it from. [[spoiler:She fools ''everyone'' in the settlement into thinking she was powerless and replacing Lancelot without Mulan or Snow (who knew Lancelot) realizing until she slipped by mentioning Henry.]]
* [[spoiler:DeadPersonImpersonation]]: [[spoiler:Has been masquerading as Lancelot for quite some time.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In "The Stable Boy", we are introduced to Regina riding a horse with her father complimenting on her skill. Then her mother shows up, derides her for [[TomboyPrincess riding her horse in a masculine form]], and uses magic to restrain her while she [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech insults various choices Regina made in her life]].
* EvilMatriarch
* EvilOldFolks
* FauxAffablyEvil: Always speaks with a maternally put-upon tone that suggests a constant attitude of "really, dear, if you weren't so ''unreasonable'', [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou I wouldn't have had to torture you.]]"

* MeaningfulName: The meaning of "Cora" in Greek is "The Maiden Of Hearts" which is fitting because she made a habit out of [[spoiler:ripping a person's heart out, killing them.]]
* MindOverMatter
* MyBelovedSmother
* [[spoiler: {{Necromancer}}]]: Apparently, she wasn't scary enough.
* NeverMessWithGranny: ''Ever''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks about the same in the present as she did when Regina was a teenager.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: [[spoiler:Regina loved Daniel. She... disapproved.]]
* RagsToRiches: She was born a miller's daughter--confirmed to be [[{{Rumpelstiltskin}} THE miller's daughter]] in "We Are Both"--and became landed gentry through various [[DealWithTheDevil deals]]. She won't settle for anything less than her daughter going even further up the social ladder.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She's usually seen dressed in a black and dark red dress.
* RichBitch
* TheSociopath: Casually tortures her daughter to get her way, [[spoiler:kills the man said daughter loves]]...
* StageMom: Makes her daughter miserable because she'd rather Regina be queen than happy. Or, as she puts, being queen is the only way Regina will be happy (even if she disagrees on that point) because power is real and love is an illusion.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C.
* TheUnfettered: No matter what deal she has to make, no matter whose life she has to end, Regina ''will'' marry up. Barbara Hershey, who also played a StageMom in the movie ''BlackSwan'', says that Cora would consider her ''Black Swan'' character "weak".
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Henry.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:May have arranged for Snow's horse to go crazy in the first place, which could have ''killed'' her.]]
* {{Yandere}}: If Cora ''does'' actually love Regina, it's a possessive and cruel love that doesn't allow for deviation from what ''she'' wants.

* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks about the same in the present as she did when Regina was a teenager.

* RagsToRiches: She was born a miller's daughter--confirmed to be [[{{Rumpelstiltskin}} THE miller's daughter]] in "We Are Both"--and became landed gentry through various [[DealWithTheDevil deals]]. She won't settle for anything less than her daughter going even further up the social ladder.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She's usually seen dressed in a black and dark red dress.
* RichBitch
* TheSociopath: Casually tortures her daughter to get her way, [[spoiler:kills the man said daughter loves]]...
* StageMom: Makes her daughter miserable because she'd rather Regina be queen than happy. Or, as she puts, being queen is the only way Regina will be happy (even if she disagrees on that point) because power is real and love is an illusion.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C.
* TheUnfettered: No matter what deal she has to make, no matter whose life she has to end, Regina ''will'' marry up. Barbara Hershey, who also played a StageMom in the movie ''BlackSwan'', says that Cora would consider her ''Black Swan'' character "weak".

->'''Played by:''' Barbara Hershey
Regina's mother.
* AbusiveParents: [[SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction Type IV]] and how! Cora abused Regina physically and emotionally, tried to make her a GoldDigger, and finally [[spoiler: ripped out the heart of the man Regina loved.]] There are only hints about her having a tragic backstory, so, if they aren't further explored, the writers' treatment will be this.
* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:To Daniel right before crushing it and killing him. In front of Regina.]]
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Her entire plan revolves around Regina saving Snow White.]]
* BeatStillMyHeart: [[spoiler:Cora did this to Daniel in front of Regina.]]
* BiggerBad: It appears that Cora is being set up to be the BigBad of Season 2, as she is still alive in Fairy Tale Land and [[spoiler:scheming to find a way to Storybrooke and exact her revenge on Regina for pushing her through the mirror]]. Snow mentions that no matter how badly Regina has acted, Cora is ''worse''.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Rumplestiltskin may have taught her to rip out hearts, but she made it an ''art form'' with her oh so warm and welcoming vault of still beating hearts.
* CompositeCharacter: Cora combines a few elements of the Miller's Daughter (from the original ''Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}'' fairy tale) and the Queen of Hearts from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
* ConsummateLiar: Unsurprising, given she's the one Regina inherited it from. [[spoiler:She fools ''everyone'' in the settlement into thinking she was powerless and replacing Lancelot without Mulan or Snow (who knew Lancelot) realizing until she slipped by mentioning Henry.]]
* [[spoiler:DeadPersonImpersonation]]: [[spoiler:Has been masquerading as Lancelot for quite some time.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In "The Stable Boy", we are introduced to Regina riding a horse with her father complimenting on her skill. Then her mother shows up, derides her for [[TomboyPrincess riding her horse in a masculine form]], and uses magic to restrain her while she [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech insults various choices Regina made in her life]].
* EvilMatriarch
* EvilOldFolks
* FauxAffablyEvil: Always speaks with a maternally put-upon tone that suggests a constant attitude of "really, dear, if you weren't so ''unreasonable'', [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou I wouldn't have had to torture you.]]"
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Cora wants this for Regina and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

* IceQueen

* MindOverMatter
* MyBelovedSmother
* [[spoiler: {{Necromancer}}]]: Apparently, she wasn't scary enough.

->'''Played by:''' Beverley Elliott
* ApronMatron
* TheArcher: She's usually seen with a crossbow, even after the curse is broken.
-->'''Red:''' Granny, do you really need that?\\
'''Granny:''' We've got a lawless town, Ruby, damn right I need it.
* {{Badass}}: Granny turns out to be this and was one her whole life.
** DualWielding {{Badass}} on top of it!
* CoolOldLady: In the fairy tale land, she puts a group of enraged villagers and hunters in their places, and she wields a crossbow with efficiency. In Storybrooke, she runs a Bed 'n Breakfast AND a Diner, not to mention appears to like motorcycles and still like cute guys, when she tells Emma "If you won't, I will!" when August offers Emma a ride on his motorcycle.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: When she was a child, her father and brothers went out to hunt and kill the wolf that was terrorizing their village to protect her. However the wolf manged to overpower and kill them. Granny, who was watching from the roof, accidentally fell off and rolled right in front of the wolf. [[spoiler:The wolf marked her and later turned her into one. The wolf was revealed to be Red's grandfather.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: So much so that fandom has nicknamed her [[FanNickname "Sassy Granny"]].
* FalseWidow: Strongly implied since there's no indication that Granny married [[spoiler:the wolf that claimed and turned her.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Has shades of Type IV. As Snow says, she's kind of intense, but there's no doubt she's one of the good guys.
* GreenEyes
* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:Granny not just telling Red that she needs to wear the hood to resist becoming a werewolf, which costs people their lives. She tries to {{Handwave}} it by saying she didn't want Red to have to live with this knowledge about herself, but is this really such a bad thing for Red to know, if all she has to do to stop it is to wear a red cloak one night a month (maybe three, if the night on either side counts as well--still a low number)? There is no way Red wouldn't eventually find out, and she certainly would rather have been able to stop her rampages herself, than find out an occasional, believed-innocent breaking of the rules resulted in people dying. Granny even [[LampshadeHanging admits how stupid she was]].]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: She's able to shoot a handgun out of [[spoiler: King George's]] hand a split second before he tried to murdered Ruby in cold blood [[spoiler: after framing her and tricking her into believing that she killed Billy.]] All this with nothing but ''a crossbow''.
* KnightInSourArmour
* MamaBear: Do ''not'' mess with her granddaughter. When [[spoiler: King George framed Ruby for murder and then]] tried to shoot her, Granny [[TheArcher shoots the gun out of his hand]] and threatens to put the next one between his eyes.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings[=/=]OutnumberedSibling: In "Red-Handed", she mentioned that she had six brothers killed by the wolf, which could be a reference to ''The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids''.
* MeaningfulName: The surname "Lucas was derived from the Greek word "lykos", which means "wolf".
** The word "lycanthropy", the clinical term for the mental disorder where one believes they can or have turned into an animal, is also derived from ''lykos'' meaning "wolf" and ''anthropos'' meaning "being human".
* NeverMessWithGranny: Especially not the Enchanted World Granny.
* TheNoseKnows: Even though [[spoiler: she can no longer turn into a wolf]], she still has a sharp sense of smell.
* [[spoiler:OurWerewolvesAreDifferent]]
* ParentalSubstitute: To Red and implied to be one to Snow.
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:If Red's Grandma had told her about her werewolf nature, she and Snow never would have suspected Peter and he never would have been killed. To say nothing of all the other men who got ripped apart.]]
* [[spoiler:RetiredMonster]]: A literal example [[spoiler:since she can no longer turn into a wolf due to age]], but still not someone to mess with.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker
* ScarsAreForever: Granny has some due to her encounter with the Big Bad Wolf as a young girl.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior
* WrenchWench: In "Child of the Moon", Granny shows herself to be handy with a welding torch.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I hear your wish."'']]
* AbsoluteCleavage: Even more so than the Evil Queen. ''The Evil Queen''. (Not so much in Storybrooke, what with her being, you know, a ''nun'' and all.)
* FairyGodmother: She’s this for Pinocchio.
* FairySexy
* FanNickname: The posters in TelevisionWithoutPity have taken to call her "The Boob Fairy".
* MeaningfulName: The Blue Fairy is also referred to as "Reul Ghorm", which is Scots Gaelic for "blue star".
* MostCommonSuperPower
* NunTooHoly: Subverted in that the only activity she engages in that is not expected of a nun is going out for celebratory drinks with David Nolan and the seven dwarves after [[spoiler: finally finding diamonds in Storybrooke's mines to grind into fairy dust.]] Other than that, she is a perfect example of what a nun should be.
** It's even funnier considering she is the freaking ''Mother Superior''.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks the same now as she did decades ago when Geppetto was a little boy and even centuries before that when [[spoiler:Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire asked for help saving his father. And she's implied to be ancient even then.]]
* OurFairiesAreDifferent
* PurposeDrivenImmortality: The Blue Fairy promises Jiminy Cricket that he will live as long as he needs to in order to help Geppetto.

* JackassGenie: While it's the magic that's malicious, he's still personally a jerkass in either world.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: As the genie, he [[spoiler:killed Snow White's father]] to earn the affections of the Queen.
* LoveMakesYouStupid: When King Leopold granted him last wish from his own lamp, he said that he would never use it, because it always backfires. [[spoiler:He used it anyway because he loved Regina, and got trapped in a mirror as a result.]]
* LoveMartyr: To Regina.
* MagicalNegro: As the genie.
* TheMole: Doubly subverted. First he acted as a mole for Emma against Regina, [[spoiler:but then it turns out he was a mole for Regina against Emma.]]
* OurGeniesAreDifferent
* PutOnABus: Sidney is [[spoiler: conveniently locked away in Regina's private asylum where is apparently remains even after the curse is broken]] due to the fact that actor Giancarlo Esposito committed to co-starring in another series, ''Series/{{Revolution}}''.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:When he brings Daniel back and he CameBackWrong, Daniel ripped an arm off. He goes to Rumple to get it repaired.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Averted, in that her body was found. Alive.]]
* RoyalBrat: Our initial introduction to her in the Fairy Tale world suggests she's this, but later events change the impression: she acts cold because she's no more interested in her ArrangedMarriage with Charming than he is, and for the same reason - her True Love is someone else.

* BigBad: Hard to tell due non-linear way the story is told, but it is apparent he served as this in the past before the Evil Queen's machinations returned. [[spoiler: In "Child of the Moon" he is shaping up to be one in Storybrooke]].
* EvilIsPetty: His actions in "Child of the Moon" are all because of a petty grudge on Charming.
* EvilOldFolks
* FantasticRacism: Doesn't think highly of talking animals or werewolves.
* IcyBlueEyes
* ImpoverishedPatrician: The kingdom's flat broke, which is why he needs the alliance with Midas, no matter who or what gets destroyed in the process.

->'''Played by:''' Sebastian Stan
* AmbiguouslyEvil
* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type II]]. He's pushed into what he does by Regina's manipulation and betrayal plus love of his daughter. Also he's been driven more than a bit crazy by his time in Wonderland and being one of the few conscious people in Storybrooke.
* BadassLongcoat
* BlessedWithSuck: He remembers the Fairy Tale World while few others can... and is tormented by the fact that his daughter is living happily with a different family and has no memory of him. On top of that, he finally has everything he wanted to give Grace but it is impossible to share it with her.
* CuteAndPsycho
* DeliverUsFromEvil: Jefferson gave up being a realm jumper after he had Grace. The difference in his character before and after becoming a father is especially prominent when we see that he was a weapons-grade {{Jerkass}} during his traveling days in "The Doctor", very unlike the man we were first (episodically, if not chronologically) introduced to in "Hat Trick".
* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler:Mary Margaret pushes him out a window in order to escape.]]
* DimensionalTraveler: Via his magic hat.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He told Grace he would only leave her with the neighbours for a day, but ends up trapped in Wonderland.]]
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a gruesome one around his neck from his decapitation in Wonderland. He hides it with a scarf in Storybrooke.
* GreenEyes
* HellBentForLeather: Jefferson wore a black leather coat before he stopped his portal jumping work for Rumpelstiltskin.
* HeroicBSOD: When he's stuck in Wonderland.
* HotDad
* KickTheDog: Now matter how much help he gives to Regina, she always kicks him when things get rough, leading to ...
** TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Him freeing Belle and sending her to Rumple with the information Regina was holding her prisoner.]]
** [[spoiler: His prior treatment of Regina falls neatly in this category.]] It's like a circle of dog kicking.
* KnightTemplarParent
* LosingYourHead: It was hacked off in Wonderland but was reattached when the Queen of Hearts ordered him to recreate [[PortalNetwork his multidimensional hat]].
* LotusEaterMachine: Willing to put himself in one if his deal with Regina pays off: [[spoiler:he gives her the power to defeat Emma, and she rewrites Storybrooke so that he and Grace are together, but neither of them remember the Fairy Tale World.]]
* MadeOfIron: He took the blunt force of a telescope to his head and still managed to chase after Emma, as well as [[spoiler:falling out of a two story window and fleeing from the scene of impact.]]
* MadnessMantra: "Get it to work, get it to work, get it to work, get it to work..."
* MeaningfulName: Jefferson's name is a reference to the band Jefferson Airplane, which had a hit song called "White Rabbit", itself a reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''.
* NiceHat: He has one that allows for travel between different dimensions, including the Fairy Tale World and Wonderland. [[spoiler:Regina steals it after trapping him in Wonderland forcing him to try and make a new one.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: His proximity while he converses with Emma and Regina seem too close to be necessary.
* TheOphelia: [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-Flipped]].
* PapaWolf
* PortalNetwork: Jefferson’s Magic Hat contains one of these, full of [[PortalDoor doors]] to various universes.
* ScarfOfAsskicking
* SharpDressedMan

* TallDarkAndHandsome [[TallDarkAndSnarky and Snarky]]

* WoundedGazelleGambit: He fakes a limp after Emma ran over him with her car, to take her to his house.

Regina's father.
* AmbiguouslyBrown
* CoolOldGuy
* DotingParent
* ExtremeDoormat: To both his wife and his daughter.
* HenpeckedHusband: He rarely stands up against his wife concerning her treatment of Regina.
* OldRetainer: Subverted. The old butler-looking man loyally listening to the Queen's every rant is, in fact, her dad.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Don't mess with me. I don't like insolence."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Barbara Hershey
Regina's mother.
* AbusiveParents: [[SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction Type IV]] and how! Cora abused Regina physically and emotionally, tried to make her a GoldDigger, and finally [[spoiler: ripped out the heart of the man Regina loved.]] There are only hints about her having a tragic backstory, so, if they aren't further explored, the writers' treatment will be this.
* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:To Daniel right before crushing it and killing him. In front of Regina.]]
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Her entire plan revolves around Regina saving Snow White.]]
* BeatStillMyHeart: [[spoiler:Cora did this to Daniel in front of Regina.]]
* BiggerBad: It appears that Cora is being set up to be the BigBad of Season 2, as she is still alive in Fairy Tale Land and [[spoiler:scheming to find a way to Storybrooke and exact her revenge on Regina for pushing her through the mirror]]. Snow mentions that no matter how badly Regina has acted, Cora is ''worse''.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Rumplestiltskin may have taught her to rip out hearts, but she made it an ''art form'' with her oh so warm and welcoming vault of still beating hearts.
* CompositeCharacter: Cora combines a few elements of the Miller's Daughter (from the original ''Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}'' fairy tale) and the Queen of Hearts from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
* ConsummateLiar: Unsurprising, given she's the one Regina inherited it from. [[spoiler:She fools ''everyone'' in the settlement into thinking she was powerless and replacing Lancelot without Mulan or Snow (who knew Lancelot) realizing until she slipped by mentioning Henry.]]
* [[spoiler:DeadPersonImpersonation]]: [[spoiler:Has been masquerading as Lancelot for quite some time.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In "The Stable Boy", we are introduced to Regina riding a horse with her father complimenting on her skill. Then her mother shows up, derides her for [[TomboyPrincess riding her horse in a masculine form]], and uses magic to restrain her while she [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech insults various choices Regina made in her life]].
* EvilMatriarch
* EvilOldFolks
* FauxAffablyEvil: Always speaks with a maternally put-upon tone that suggests a constant attitude of "really, dear, if you weren't so ''unreasonable'', [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou I wouldn't have had to torture you.]]"
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Cora wants this for Regina and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
* GoldDigger: Heavily implied.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave
* HotMom
* HotWitch: In a dignified GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave way.
* IceQueen
* ItsAllAboutMe
* KnightTemplarParent
* LadyOfBlackMagic
* LoveIsAWeakness
* ManipulativeBitch
* MasterOfIllusion[=/=]VoluntaryShapeshifting: Shows a more fully realized version of Regina's ability transform into an old crone in ''Hat Trick'' by [[spoiler:posing as Lancelot.]]
* MeaningfulName: The meaning of "Cora" in Greek is "The Maiden Of Hearts" which is fitting because she made a habit out of [[spoiler:ripping a person's heart out, killing them.]]
* MindOverMatter
* MyBelovedSmother
* NeverMessWithGranny: ''Ever''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks about the same in the present as she did when Regina was a teenager.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: [[spoiler:Regina loved Daniel. She... disapproved.]]
* RagsToRiches: She was born a miller's daughter--confirmed to be [[{{Rumpelstiltskin}} THE miller's daughter]] in "We Are Both"--and became landed gentry through various [[DealWithTheDevil deals]]. She won't settle for anything less than her daughter going even further up the social ladder.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She's usually seen dressed in a black and dark red dress.
* RichBitch
* TheSociopath: Casually tortures her daughter to get her way, [[spoiler:kills the man said daughter loves]]...
* StageMom: Makes her daughter miserable because she'd rather Regina be queen than happy. Or, as she puts, being queen is the only way Regina will be happy (even if she disagrees on that point) because power is real and love is an illusion.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C.
* TheUnfettered: No matter what deal she has to make, no matter whose life she has to end, Regina ''will'' marry up. Barbara Hershey, who also played a StageMom in the movie ''BlackSwan'', says that Cora would consider her ''Black Swan'' character "weak".
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Henry.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:May have arranged for Snow's horse to go crazy in the first place, which could have ''killed'' her.]]
* {{Yandere}}: If Cora ''does'' actually love Regina, it's a possessive and cruel love that doesn't allow for deviation from what ''she'' wants.

* ApronMatron
* TheArcher: She's usually seen with a crossbow, even after the curse is broken.
-->'''Red:''' Granny, do you really need that?\\
'''Granny:''' We've got a lawless town, Ruby, damn right I need it.
* {{Badass}}: Granny turns out to be this and was one her whole life.
** DualWielding {{Badass}} on top of it!
* CoolOldLady: In the fairy tale land, she puts a group of enraged villagers and hunters in their places, and she wields a crossbow with efficiency. In Storybrooke, she runs a Bed 'n Breakfast AND a Diner, not to mention appears to like motorcycles and still like cute guys, when she tells Emma "If you won't, I will!" when August offers Emma a ride on his motorcycle.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: When she was a child, her father and brothers went out to hunt and kill the wolf that was terrorizing their village to protect her. However the wolf manged to overpower and kill them. Granny, who was watching from the roof, accidentally fell off and rolled right in front of the wolf. [[spoiler:The wolf marked her and later turned her into one. The wolf was revealed to be Red's grandfather.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: So much so that fandom has nicknamed her [[FanNickname "Sassy Granny"]].
* FalseWidow: Strongly implied since there's no indication that Granny married [[spoiler:the wolf that claimed and turned her.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Has shades of Type IV. As Snow says, she's kind of intense, but there's no doubt she's one of the good guys.
* GreenEyes
* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:Granny not just telling Red that she needs to wear the hood to resist becoming a werewolf, which costs people their lives. She tries to {{Handwave}} it by saying she didn't want Red to have to live with this knowledge about herself, but is this really such a bad thing for Red to know, if all she has to do to stop it is to wear a red cloak one night a month (maybe three, if the night on either side counts as well--still a low number)? There is no way Red wouldn't eventually find out, and she certainly would rather have been able to stop her rampages herself, than find out an occasional, believed-innocent breaking of the rules resulted in people dying. Granny even [[LampshadeHanging admits how stupid she was]].]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: She's able to shoot a handgun out of [[spoiler: King George's]] hand a split second before he tried to murdered Ruby in cold blood [[spoiler: after framing her and tricking her into believing that she killed Billy.]] All this with nothing but ''a crossbow''.
* KnightInSourArmour
* MamaBear: Do ''not'' mess with her granddaughter. When [[spoiler: King George framed Ruby for murder and then]] tried to shoot her, Granny [[TheArcher shoots the gun out of his hand]] and threatens to put the next one between his eyes.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings[=/=]OutnumberedSibling: In "Red-Handed", she mentioned that she had six brothers killed by the wolf, which could be a reference to ''The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids''.
* MeaningfulName: The surname "Lucas was derived from the Greek word "lykos", which means "wolf".
** The word "lycanthropy", the clinical term for the mental disorder where one believes they can or have turned into an animal, is also derived from ''lykos'' meaning "wolf" and ''anthropos'' meaning "being human".
* NeverMessWithGranny: Especially not the Enchanted World Granny.
* TheNoseKnows: Even though [[spoiler: she can no longer turn into a wolf]], she still has a sharp sense of smell.
* [[spoiler:OurWerewolvesAreDifferent]]
* ParentalSubstitute: To Red and implied to be one to Snow.
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:If Red's Grandma had told her about her werewolf nature, she and Snow never would have suspected Peter and he never would have been killed. To say nothing of all the other men who got ripped apart.]]
* [[spoiler:RetiredMonster]]: A literal example [[spoiler:since she can no longer turn into a wolf due to age]], but still not someone to mess with.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker
* ScarsAreForever: Granny has some due to her encounter with the Big Bad Wolf as a young girl.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior
* WrenchWench: In "Child of the Moon", Granny shows herself to be handy with a welding torch.

* FairyGodmother: She’s this for Pinocchio.
* FairySexy
* FanNickname: The posters in TelevisionWithoutPity have taken to call her "The Boob Fairy".
* MeaningfulName: The Blue Fairy is also referred to as "Reul Ghorm", which is Scots Gaelic for "blue star".
* MostCommonSuperPower
* NunTooHoly: Subverted in that the only activity she engages in that is not expected of a nun is going out for celebratory drinks with David Nolan and the seven dwarves after [[spoiler: finally finding diamonds in Storybrooke's mines to grind into fairy dust.]] Other than that, she is a perfect example of what a nun should be.
** It's even funnier considering she is the freaking ''Mother Superior''.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks the same now as she did decades ago when Geppetto was a little boy and even centuries before that when [[spoiler:Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire asked for help saving his father. And she's implied to be ancient even then.]]

* MomentKiller: She really knows how to show up at the most awkward times possible whenever Mary Margaret and David are sharing a moment.
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Averted, in that her body was found. Alive.]]
* RoyalBrat: Our initial introduction to her in the Fairy Tale world suggests she's this, but later events change the impression: she acts cold because she's no more interested in her ArrangedMarriage with Charming than he is, and for the same reason - her True Love is someone else.

->'''Played by:''' Alan Dale
* AristocratsAreEvil
* BadassBoast
* BadassGrandpa
* BaldOfEvil
* BatmanGambit: He [[spoiler:stole Ruby's cloak that keeps her human during the full moon and murders Billy[=/=]Gus and frames Ruby.]] The most obvious reason was to discredit David's position of power, but his true reason is [[spoiler:to have David so distracted by trying to save Ruby, it gives him ample opportunity to find Jefferson's magic portal hat and burn it.]] It works.
* BigBad: Hard to tell due non-linear way the story is told, but it is apparent he served as this in the past before the Evil Queen's machinations returned. [[spoiler: In "Child of the Moon" he is shaping up to be one in Storybrooke]].
* EvilIsPetty: His actions in "Child of the Moon" are all because of a petty grudge on Charming.
* EvilOldFolks
* FantasticRacism: Doesn't think highly of talking animals or werewolves.
* IcyBlueEyes
* ImpoverishedPatrician: The kingdom's flat broke, which is why he needs the alliance with Midas, no matter who or what gets destroyed in the process.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In Season 2, he's far more concerned about proving that he's the one who should rule the kingdom rather than his subjects.
* {{Jerkass}}: In both worlds!
* [[PrinceCharmless King Charmless]]: It's even his FanNickname!
* KnightTemplar: He believes what he believes is right and anyone who opposes him is wrong and must be destroyed.
* LoveIsAWeakness: King George tells Snow White that love is a disease and Charming's love for her will ruin his marriage and the kingdom unless she convinces Charming that she doesn't love him.
* ManipulativeBastard
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: David assumed because he beat him back in the Fairy Tale world, he can be beaten easily again. How wrong he was.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: His response to Charming trying to back out of marrying Abigail.
* [[PrincessInRags King in Rags]]
* {{Revenge}}: His main motivation against Charming.
** RevengeByProxy: And when he couldn't get direct revenge, he [[spoiler: destroyed the Mad Hatter's hat, the only known way to get Emma and Snow back to Storybrooke.]] His other actions in "Child Of The Moon" are also technically this, since he's trying to turn the town against Charming by [[spoiler: framing Ruby for murder and trying to kill her]].
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He is seen leading the charge when [[spoiler:Shepard runs off to find Snow White.]]
* StartOfDarkness: According to himself, his whole LoveIsAWeakness shtick started when he married his wife but was unable to have sons, which turned their marriage in a loveless Hell for both of them.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything he does is to protect his kingdom, even if it means lying, murder, blackmail or [[DealWithTheDevil bargaining with Rumps]].
** Though he's diving close to CompleteMonster ManipulativeBastard status since he [[spoiler: murdered an innocent man in cold blood so that he could frame Ruby for murder and use David's belief in her to try to usurp his power and influence with the townspeople, all in the name of revenge]].

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I hate [[Literature/AliceInWonderland Wonderland]]."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Sebastian Stan
* AmbiguouslyEvil
* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type II]]. He's pushed into what he does by Regina's manipulation and betrayal plus love of his daughter. Also he's been driven more than a bit crazy by his time in Wonderland and being one of the few conscious people in Storybrooke.
* BadassLongcoat
* BlessedWithSuck: He remembers the Fairy Tale World while few others can... and is tormented by the fact that his daughter is living happily with a different family and has no memory of him. On top of that, he finally has everything he wanted to give Grace but it is impossible to share it with her.
* CuteAndPsycho
* DeliverUsFromEvil: Jefferson gave up being a realm jumper after he had Grace. The difference in his character before and after becoming a father is especially prominent when we see that he was a weapons-grade {{Jerkass}} during his traveling days in "The Doctor", very unlike the man we were first (episodically, if not chronologically) introduced to in "Hat Trick".
* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler:Mary Margaret pushes him out a window in order to escape.]]
* DimensionalTraveler: Via his magic hat.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He told Grace he would only leave her with the neighbours for a day, but ends up trapped in Wonderland.]]
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a gruesome one around his neck from his decapitation in Wonderland. He hides it with a scarf in Storybrooke.
* GreenEyes
* HellBentForLeather: Jefferson wore a black leather coat before he stopped his portal jumping work for Rumpelstiltskin.
* HeroicBSOD: When he's stuck in Wonderland.
* HotDad
* KickTheDog: Now matter how much help he gives to Regina, she always kicks him when things get rough, leading to ...
** TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Him freeing Belle and sending her to Rumple with the information Regina was holding her prisoner.]]
** [[spoiler: His prior treatment of Regina falls neatly in this category.]] It's like a circle of dog kicking.
* KnightTemplarParent
* LosingYourHead: It was hacked off in Wonderland but was reattached when the Queen of Hearts ordered him to recreate [[PortalNetwork his multidimensional hat]].
* LotusEaterMachine: Willing to put himself in one if his deal with Regina pays off: [[spoiler:he gives her the power to defeat Emma, and she rewrites Storybrooke so that he and Grace are together, but neither of them remember the Fairy Tale World.]]
* MadeOfIron: He took the blunt force of a telescope to his head and still managed to chase after Emma, as well as [[spoiler:falling out of a two story window and fleeing from the scene of impact.]]
* MadnessMantra: "Get it to work, get it to work, get it to work, get it to work..."
* MeaningfulName: Jefferson's name is a reference to the band Jefferson Airplane, which had a hit song called "White Rabbit", itself a reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''.
* NiceHat: He has one that allows for travel between different dimensions, including the Fairy Tale World and Wonderland. [[spoiler:Regina steals it after trapping him in Wonderland forcing him to try and make a new one.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: His proximity while he converses with Emma and Regina seem too close to be necessary.
* TheOphelia: [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-Flipped]].
* PapaWolf
* PortalNetwork: Jefferson’s Magic Hat contains one of these, full of [[PortalDoor doors]] to various universes.
* ScarfOfAsskicking
* SharpDressedMan
* StalkerWithoutACrush: How he acted toward Emma and Grace/Paige when he spied on them through his telescopes.
* TallDarkAndHandsome [[TallDarkAndSnarky and Snarky]]
* TookALevelInKindness: At some point between the fairytale world events in "The Doctor" and "Hat Trick", he loses much of his ruthlessness. [[spoiler:He was willing to help Rumplestiltskin corrupt Regina.]]
* WaistcoatOfStyle
* WoundedGazelleGambit: He fakes a limp after Emma ran over him with her car, to take her to his house.

Regina's father.
* AmbiguouslyBrown
* CoolOldGuy
* DotingParent
* ExtremeDoormat: To both his wife and his daughter.
* HenpeckedHusband: He rarely stands up against his wife concerning her treatment of Regina.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Don't mess with me. I don't like insolence."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Barbara Hershey
Regina's mother.
* AbusiveParents: [[SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction Type IV]] and how! Cora abused Regina physically and emotionally, tried to make her a GoldDigger, and finally [[spoiler: ripped out the heart of the man Regina loved.]] There are only hints about her having a tragic backstory, so, if they aren't further explored, the writers' treatment will be this.
* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:To Daniel right before crushing it and killing him. In front of Regina.]]
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Her entire plan revolves around Regina saving Snow White.]]
* BeatStillMyHeart: [[spoiler:Cora did this to Daniel in front of Regina.]]
* BiggerBad: It appears that Cora is being set up to be the BigBad of Season 2, as she is still alive in Fairy Tale Land and [[spoiler:scheming to find a way to Storybrooke and exact her revenge on Regina for pushing her through the mirror]]. Snow mentions that no matter how badly Regina has acted, Cora is ''worse''.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Rumplestiltskin may have taught her to rip out hearts, but she made it an ''art form'' with her oh so warm and welcoming vault of still beating hearts.
* CompositeCharacter: Cora combines a few elements of the Miller's Daughter (from the original ''Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}'' fairy tale) and the Queen of Hearts from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
* ConsummateLiar: Unsurprising, given she's the one Regina inherited it from. [[spoiler:She fools ''everyone'' in the settlement into thinking she was powerless and replacing Lancelot without Mulan or Snow (who knew Lancelot) realizing until she slipped by mentioning Henry.]]
* [[spoiler:DeadPersonImpersonation]]: [[spoiler:Has been masquerading as Lancelot for quite some time.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In "The Stable Boy", we are introduced to Regina riding a horse with her father complimenting on her skill. Then her mother shows up, derides her for [[TomboyPrincess riding her horse in a masculine form]], and uses magic to restrain her while she [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech insults various choices Regina made in her life]].
* EvilMatriarch
* EvilOldFolks
* FauxAffablyEvil: Always speaks with a maternally put-upon tone that suggests a constant attitude of "really, dear, if you weren't so ''unreasonable'', [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou I wouldn't have had to torture you.]]"
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Cora wants this for Regina and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
* GoldDigger: Heavily implied.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave
* HotMom
* HotWitch: In a dignified GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave way.
* IceQueen
* ItsAllAboutMe
* KnightTemplarParent
* LadyOfBlackMagic
* LoveIsAWeakness
* ManipulativeBitch
* MasterOfIllusion[=/=]VoluntaryShapeshifting: Shows a more fully realized version of Regina's ability transform into an old crone in ''Hat Trick'' by [[spoiler:posing as Lancelot.]]
* MeaningfulName: The meaning of "Cora" in Greek is "The Maiden Of Hearts" which is fitting because she made a habit out of [[spoiler:ripping a person's heart out, killing them.]]
* MindOverMatter
* MyBelovedSmother
* NeverMessWithGranny: ''Ever''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks about the same in the present as she did when Regina was a teenager.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: [[spoiler:Regina loved Daniel. She... disapproved.]]
* RagsToRiches: She was born a miller's daughter--confirmed to be [[{{Rumpelstiltskin}} THE miller's daughter]] in "We Are Both"--and became landed gentry through various [[DealWithTheDevil deals]]. She won't settle for anything less than her daughter going even further up the social ladder.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She's usually seen dressed in a black and dark red dress.
* RichBitch
* TheSociopath: Casually tortures her daughter to get her way, [[spoiler:kills the man said daughter loves]]...
* StageMom: Makes her daughter miserable because she'd rather Regina be queen than happy. Or, as she puts, being queen is the only way Regina will be happy (even if she disagrees on that point) because power is real and love is an illusion.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C.
* TheUnfettered: No matter what deal she has to make, no matter whose life she has to end, Regina ''will'' marry up. Barbara Hershey, who also played a StageMom in the movie ''BlackSwan'', says that Cora would consider her ''Black Swan'' character "weak".
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Henry.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:May have arranged for Snow's horse to go crazy in the first place, which could have ''killed'' her.]]
* {{Yandere}}: If Cora ''does'' actually love Regina, it's a possessive and cruel love that doesn't allow for deviation from what ''she'' wants.
