| 34 | |
| 35 | The adoptive father of the twins James and David, who hopes to save his kingdom from ruin by marrying his son off to the daughter of King Midas. In Storybrooke, he is Albert Spencer, Storybrooke's district attorney. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * AristocratsAreEvil: Most of his villainy is based on politics and he's known as "King Charmless" for a reason. |
| 38 | * BaldOfEvil: And he most certainly is evil. |
| 39 | * BatmanGambit: He 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 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. Also counts as a XanatosGambit since if the first part had worked, David would have been discredited which would leave him capable of stepping into the power vacuum. |
| 40 | * BigBadWannabe: He's only put in a BigBad position when others of higher power like the Evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin allow it. |
| 41 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In a deleted scene, he tells David that he both loved and treasured his adopted son James, calling him "a good man." We know that James was anything but, but still... |
| 42 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Played with. King George clearly doesn't really see the point in good, believing more in the privilege and power that being a royal has. However, he understands how love works, as he could recognize some sensible courses of action should things not go his way dealing with Snow and Charming. |
| 43 | * EvilIsPetty: His actions in "Child of the Moon" are all because of a petty grudge on Charming. |
| 44 | * EvilOldFolks: And he is pretty active about his villainy despite his age. |
| 45 | * FantasticRacism: Doesn't think highly of talking animals or werewolves. |
| 46 | * GoodParents: Played with. While he obviously [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes loved James]], he didn't do a terribly good job of raising him. The result is a greedy, selfish man who'll betray people (even his own lover Jack) at the drop of a hat - not that George would have a problem with that, but he's also so arrogant and convinced of his own superiority that he gets himself killed. |
| 47 | * IcyBlueEyes: He is cold to everyone, even his adoptive son(s). |
| 48 | * 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. |
| 49 | * 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. |
| 50 | * {{Jerkass}}: As the King in the Enchanted Forest who hunted down Snow and Charming and continuing his vendetta in Storybrooke. |
| 51 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Even though he has killed to try and make Charming suffer, he never seems to get the punishment he deserves. In Season 6, we finally learn he has been in the asylum / jail since "Child of the Moon". |
| 52 | * KnightTemplar: He believes what he believes is right and anyone who opposes him is wrong and must be destroyed. |
| 53 | * 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. |
| 54 | * ManipulativeBastard: Well, he was able to frame an innocent for murder pretty convincingly, and then took the opportunity it made to destroy Jefferson's hat. |
| 55 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: David assumed because he beat him back in the Enchanted Forest, he can be beaten easily again. How wrong he was. |
| 56 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: His response to Charming trying to back out of marrying Abigail. |
| 57 | * PrinceCharmless: The fans prefer to call him King Charmless. |
| 58 | * PrincessInRags: In Storybrooke, since he has no kingdom there. |
| 59 | * {{Revenge}}: His main motivation against Charming. |
| 60 | * RevengeByProxy: And when he couldn't get direct revenge, he 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 framing Ruby for murder and trying to kill her. |
| 61 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He is seen leading the charge when Charming runs off to find Snow White. |
| 62 | * StartOfDarkness: According to himself, his whole LoveIsAWeakness shtick started when he married his wife but was unable to have sons, which turned their marriage into a loveless Hell for both of them. |
| 63 | * TheSociopath: Aside from his (original) son and maybe his wife, he believes in the "love is weakness" philosophy, and boy does he stick to it. |
| 64 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: At first, everything he does is to protect his kingdom, even if it means lying, murder, blackmail or [[DealWithTheDevil bargaining with Rumps]]. After awhile he veered into self-centered KnightTemplar territory and presently he's diving close to pure ManipulativeBastard status since he killed 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. |
| 65 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "Child of the Moon", Spencer is exposed as Billy's murderer and destroys Jefferson's hat. Then he disappears. We finally learn what happened to him in Season 6 where it turns out he has been in the asylum / jail. |

| 76 | The daughter of King Midas, who is being forced to marry Prince Charming. In Storybrooke, she is Kathryn Nolan, the wife of David. |
| 77 | ---- |
| 78 | * AdaptationNameChange: In some versions, her name is Zoë or Marigold, but nothing like Abigail or Kathryn. |
| 79 | * ArrangedMarriage: She was engaged to Charming before he met Snow. |
| 80 | * TheAtoner: In Storybrooke, she is trying really hard to be as loving as possible towards David in order to make up for their supposed argument that led to him leaving and getting into an accident that put him in a coma for years. |
| 81 | * TheBusCameBack: After disappearing for about the length of two seasons, she reappears in the season 3 finale. |
| 82 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Kathryn Nolan is absent in Season 2 as her actress is now starring in ''Series/{{Copper}}''. However WordOfGod stated [[http://www.tvguide.com/News/Once-Upon-Time-Spoilers-Kitsis-Horowitz-ABC-1060428.aspx she and Jim have reunited after the curse was broken and are living together in her house]]. |
| 83 | * DaddysGirl: Abigail to King Midas. |
| 84 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has moments of this as Abigail. |
| 85 | * HiddenDepths: Abigail is introduced as a vapid, spoiled brat, but she actually has her own secret army and is more than willing to help Charming find Snow White since she doesn't want to marry him either, as she is in love with Frederick, one of her father's knights. |
| 86 | %%* HiddenHeartOfGold: As Abigail. |
| 87 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Eventually wishes David and Mary Margaret well in Storybrooke, having realized that she never really deeply loved David and only tried to make their marriage work out of some sense of obligation. |
| 88 | * JustFriends: With Prince Charming after they parted ways. |
| 89 | * MomentKiller: She really knows how to show up at the most awkward times possible whenever Mary Margaret and David are sharing a moment. |
| 90 | * NiceGirl: Her Storybrooke personality is kind to a fault to such a point that Mary Margaret comments on how she'd feel much less guilty about her and David's relationship were Kathryn not so impeccably ''nice''. |
| 91 | * PimpedOutDress: Being a princess, she wears a few. Her first appearance is in [[TrueBlueFemininity an ice blue dress]] that's [[FluffyFashionFeathers trimmed with white feathers]]. |
| 92 | * RoyalBrat: Our initial introduction to her in the Enchanted Forest 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. She acts like a brat in hopes that Charming would get sick of her and call off the marriage, until she learns that this is unnecessary. |
| 93 | %% * SpoiledBrat: As would be expected of King freaking Midas' daughter. |
| 94 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: She has gotten used to the sight of her father's gold castle that it no longer fazes her. |

| 103 | ->'''Centric Episodes:''' "The Price of Gold", "The Other Shoe" |
| 104 | |
| 105 | A young girl of low standing who, with Rumplestiltskin's help, is able to marry a prince. In Storybrooke, she is Ashley Boyd, a pregnant young woman in debt to Mr. Gold. |
| 106 | ---- |
| 107 | * CompositeCharacter: Cinderella has elements of the Miller's Daughter from "Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}". |
| 108 | * DareToBeBadass: Emma's speech in "The Price of Gold" inspired her to go against Mr. Gold for her sake and her unborn child's. |
| 109 | * DisappearedDad: Thanks to the magical deal Cinderella made with Rumple, the father of her child disappeared the second Cinderella thought she found a loophole in the contract. Even after a life-altering curse, he only returns to Cinderella and their child once Rumple agrees to void the deal. |
| 110 | * GenreBlind: It appears that she doesn't know the outcome of Rumplestiltskin's story. But she becomes GenreSavvy when the princes reveal the trap for Rumplestiltskin, as she just knows it's going to backfire. |
| 111 | * HappilyMarried: To Prince Thomas, at least until he mysteriously disappeared. |
| 112 | * IWantGrandkids: In the Enchanted Forest, Cinderella's father-in-law was very eager for grandchildren, showing Cinderella that he very much hoped and wanted to be a grandfather. |
| 113 | * LongestPregnancyEver: 28 years of being pregnant, because time didn't move forward in Storybrooke until Emma decided to stay. Good thing the curse also kept her from noticing how long it was. |
| 114 | * MeaningfulName: ''Ash''ley. |
| 115 | * MyGreatestFailure: When her happy ending was at stake, she [[spoiler:sold out her sister Clorinda to Tremaine, costing Clorinda her own happy ending.]] The present day scenes of "The Other Shoe" are devoted to her attempts to fix this: |
| 116 | -->'''Cinderella:''' She wasn't the wicked stepsister. [[MustMakeAmends I was.]] |
| 117 | * ParentalMarriageVeto: In Storybrooke, the reason Cinderella (or "Ashley") couldn't be with her Prince was that his well-to-do father objected to his son marrying a lower-class nobody. |
| 118 | ** Averted in the Enchanted Forest Flashback, where he seems to approve of the marriage. |
| 119 | * RagsToRoyalty: A poor girl forced into servitude is given the chance to fall in love with a prince thanks to a magical guide, [[SubvertedTrope for a steep price]]. |
| 120 | * TeenPregnancy: She gives birth while in her teens. |
| 121 | * WickedStepmother: Cinderella has one, although we only see her as she's getting into a carriage. In Storybrooke, she's estranged from her step-family. |

| 130 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/KeeganConnorTracy |
| 131 | |
| 132 | The old and powerful ruler of the fairies. In Storybrooke, she's the mother superior in the convent. |
| 133 | ---- |
| 134 | * AdaptationalJerkass: She's definitely darker (in her own way) than her animated counterpart. |
| 135 | * AGodAmI: Possibly a side effect of being the only authority figure of the fairies; believes she knows what is best, and does not take kindly to other fairies questioning her decisions, even when she may be wrong; she also has the power to take away a fairy's magic and turn them human. Just ask Tinker Bell. |
| 136 | * BackFromTheDead: The death of Peter Pan's Shadow brought her back to life. |
| 137 | * BigGood: She may have done some less-than-stellar things, but she still remains the most powerful force of good, always willing to help the heroes. |
| 138 | * BitCharacter: Despite her being one of the longest lasting recurring characters in the show, she never truly got a spotlight episode focusing on her. Even when Season 6 starts to show more about her past, it's more done the give the Black Fairy ''her'' OriginStory. |
| 139 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: While she does go around helping those in need, she can also be extremely judgmental and cruel to those she feels are undeserving of her help, especially if you're a dwarf ''and'' she catches you dating one of her fairy mongrels. Made more explicit in "Quite a Common Fairy" where she refuses to help Regina because her mother was Cora and Rumplestiltskin was tutoring her in magic, and when Tinker Bell tries to prove her wrong with some stolen pixie dust, she takes her magic and wings and turns her into a human for betraying her trust. |
| 140 | * BlueIsHeroic: The Blue Fairy is depicted as the leader of the fairies. |
| 141 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first two seasons, she would speak in a higher pitched voice as a fairy compared to her Storybrooke persona, but this was dropped in Season 3. It is possible the voice is something put on for the people she grants wishes to, and not her underlings. |
| 142 | * CharacterDevelopment: Downplayed, since it isn't especially focused on, but her NearDeathExperience seemed to be catalyst for her becoming more introspective and she begins to make amends for many of the misdeeds she's done, most notably reconcilling with Tinker Bell again. |
| 143 | * ControlFreak: Pretty much the cause of most of her other flaws. |
| 144 | * CosmicEntity: She has the traits of one. |
| 145 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Another victim of Peter Pan's shadow ripping, with the extra insult that it was completely at random and any other victim would have sufficed for Pan's scheme. She gets better, though. |
| 146 | ** Given her direct role in Fiona's disappearance, it may not have been all that random... |
| 147 | * FairyGodmother: She's this for Pinocchio and Gideon Gold. |
| 148 | * FairySexy: Well, her outfit tends to emphasize her chest. |
| 149 | * TheFairFolk: Of the "trickster with questionable morality" type. Some of the things she does that end up inconveniencing others borders on {{Troll}} territory. |
| 150 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: For the fairies, she has an absolute and irrefutable control over them. If you are a good fairy, then all is well. If you are not so ideal, then you can expect some nastier side of her to show up. |
| 151 | * HolierThanThou: She does ''not'' have a good opinion of either Regina or Rumple. ''Especially'' Rumple. |
| 152 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She will help anyone in following their beliefs and dreams ''except'' if they have too much darkness in them, even if they may really need the help. As shown by her refusing to help Rumple find Baelfire, or offer any help to Regina as revealed in "Quite a Common Fairy." Tinker Bell calls her out for the latter, to which she admits to being too strict at the time. |
| 153 | * ImprobableAge: In the first season, Keegan Connor Tracy was only in her late 30s. In most traditions, a Mother Superior has to be at least 40. Justified since the Dark Curse made her that, and she's actually hundreds of years old really. |
| 154 | * LadyOfWar: She led her fairies into battle to help Snow and Charming. |
| 155 | * MeaningfulName: The Blue Fairy is also referred to as "Reul Ghorm", which is Scots Gaelic for "blue star". |
| 156 | * MostCommonSuperPower: Once again, see her nickname "The Boob Fairy". |
| 157 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: She accidentally let it slip to Rumple that there was a curse he could cast to reunite with Bae. But she brushed it off as she believed he would never be able to cast it. Boy was she wrong. |
| 158 | * NunTooHoly: Mildly. 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 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''. |
| 159 | * OnlyMostlyDead: Her shadow/soul got ripped off by The Shadow, but when it was killed then hers was returned, and she was revived. |
| 160 | * Really700YearsOld: She looks the same now as she did decades ago when Geppetto was a little boy and even centuries before that when Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire asked for help saving his father. And she's implied to be ancient even then. "The Black Fairy" also shows that she looked the exact same when ''Rumplestiltskin'' was a newborn baby. |
| 161 | * ReedRichardsIsUseless: She ''witnessed'' Rumplestiltskin's tragic upbringing beforehand, including his mistreatment by his father, and did absolutely ''nothing'' to help him. |
| 162 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Fairies are supposed to help people, but the Blue Fairy refuses to offer any help to Regina, because she was Cora's child and because she sees evil in her. When Tinker Bell calls her out on that, she replies that ''she'' is the one who decides what is proper fairy behavior. She later says she was overly harsh, though, and apologizes to Tink for what she did to her. |
| 163 | * TookALevelInJerkass: "Dreamy" and "Quite a Common Fairy" reveals she's not as nice as she wants people to think. |
| 164 | * TookALevelInKindness: After being restored back to life, she's genuinely grateful, and shows her gratitude by finally giving Tink her wings back. She also gives them the wand they need in order to defeat Pan. |
| 165 | * TrueBlueFemininity: Very feminine, tries to be fair and gentle, and is best known by her title of "The Blue Fairy". |
| 166 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:While Tiger Lily was assigned to be Rumplestiltskin's fairy godmother, she was the one who revealed to Fiona that her son would be the Savior. She was the one who allowed her access to their immense collection of magical tomes and leading to Fiona becoming a fairy, which eventually led to her corruption and by extension almost every problem that occurred afterward. Fiona severing her son's destiny, Malcolm growing to hate him and eventually becoming Peter Pan, his abandonment taking Rumplestiltskin down his path to become the Dark One, who would then go on to turn Regina, Zelena, Cora and Killian into what they are and [[TheChainOfHarm all of the havoc they unleash]], not to mention ''the creation of the Dark Curse that the series' premise is based on''. [[FridgeBrilliance When you really look at it]], the entire series is ''her'' fault.]] [[invoked]] |
| 167 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: If she does anything that could be seen as wrong, she believes it's for "the greater good". |

| 188 | ** It means "new". She was a new fairy; in "Dreamy" she was working toward being a fairy godmother. |
| 189 | ** A nova is the cataclysmic explosion of a white "dwarf" star when hydrogen accumulates on its surface. In "Dreamy", Nova spills fairy dust that accumulates on Grumpy's egg and causes him to hatch early - a dwarf exploding out of his white shell. |

| 225 | * CommonalityConnection: Snow and Grumpy bond over their "lost" loves. |
| 226 | * DeadpanSnarker: Shades of this in his bluntness. |
| 227 | * {{Determinator}}: |
| 228 | ** Breaking out of jail, selling a ton of candles, going door to door to every house in Storybrooke, trying to deal with Gold, cutting power to a whole festival. He may be a grouch and hitting the sauce, but in a pinch, he's your guy. |
| 229 | ** In Season 2, he spearheads the campaign to mine for fairy dust and cultivate magic beans to allow them to one day possibly return home to the Enchanted Forest, even knowing the odds are ''highly'' against them succeeding. |
| 230 | * FantasticCasteSystem: Forced to work in the mine, forbidden to ever leave it and never allowed to fall in love. When he asks ''why'' he can't do something else, he's told that it's because he's a Dwarf; Mining is all they're ''supposed'' to do! |
| 231 | * FireForgedFriends: Grateful for helping him escape, and making a connection over lost love, has Grumpy invite Snow to stay with his 6 other friends to look after her. |
| 232 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Done perfectly in "The Outsider". He says exactly what happens later. |
| 233 | -->'''Leroy:''' There's a whole world full of people beyond the town line that don't know who or what we are. Ever think of what might happen if one of them were come pay us a visit? |
| 234 | * IcyGrayEyes: Fitting his cynical personality. |
| 235 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He wanted Nova to stay with the other fairies since he thought it was what was best for her. |
| 236 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When he's not an outright dreamer type that makes impossible promises, he comes across a gruff guy who calls everyone "sister." But he does really care for those he loves, like his brothers and Snow White. |
| 237 | * TheLeader: Definitely comes across as a Type III and unofficial leader of the seven dwarves. |
| 238 | * LoveHurts: After he chooses to give up on running off with Nova the fairy. |
| 239 | * MeaningfulRename: His heartbreak caused his positive daydreaming "Dreamy" persona to become the cynical grouch "Grumpy". |
| 240 | * MiseryBuildsCharacter: If given the chance to forget his pain he would refuse as his pain defines him. It helps make him "Grumpy". |
| 241 | * MistakenForSuicidal: He goes up to the roof after his plans to help Astrid fail, and Astrid tries to coax him down... turns out he just went there to damage the generator and boost candle sales. |
| 242 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Is aghast that he caused Sneezy to lose his Fairy Tale memories. He's determined to set things right. |
| 243 | * NumberTwo: Often shares this role with Red, towards Snow and Charming. |
| 244 | * TheReliableOne: Shaping into this in Season 2, where he takes the initiative to find out what happens when they cross the town line and spearheads the campaign to mine for fairy-dust and cultivate magic beans. |
| 245 | * StarCrossedLovers: As Dreamy with Nova the fairy. |
| 246 | * ThatManIsDead: Once he gives up love in the fairy tale universe, his true name becomes Grumpy, and he declares that he's no longer Dreamy. |
| 247 | * UglyGuyHotWife: With Nova. According to Season 2 extras... they break up. |
| 248 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Snow White and Charming. |
| 249 | * WideEyedIdealist: As Dreamy. |

| 262 | * SacrificialLamb: A non-lethal version. Sneezy was chosen to be the one to cross the border of Storybrooke to see what would exactly happen to those that do. |
| 263 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: |
| 264 | ** After losing his memories as Sneezy and being reduced to his [[{{Muggle}} Storybrooke]] self again, we don't see how he reacted to the Wraith attack, Ruby turning into a werewolf and the sight of Anton the Giant rampaging through the town? |
| 265 | ** More to the point, part of his brothers' motivation for going to work mining fairy dust diamonds in Storybrooke was to try curing his memory loss with fairy dust. What became of that idea? |
| 266 | *** Grumpy reveals that the Blue Fairy was busy working on the problem the entire time. Turns out the solution was fairy dust plus a strand of the de-aged Pinocchio's hair and voila, instant memory restoration. |

| 325 | The strict, yet loving grandmother of Red Riding Hood. In Storybrooke, she's the owner of the local bed-and-breakfast and diner. |
| 326 | ---- |
| 327 | * AcheyScars: Granny has a nasty-looking one on her arm that aches every month on the full moon [[spoiler:because it's the wound she got when she became a werewolf.]] |
| 328 | * ApronMatron: To her granddaughter Ruby mostly, and as the owner of her own diner she also has a literal apron too. |
| 329 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She can turn from a strict, but loving, grandmother to threatening people with her crossbow pretty easily. |
| 330 | * ColorCodedEyes: Her green eyes are of the spitfire and magic variety, since she is surprisingly violent despite her age and was a werewolf in her youth. |
| 331 | * CoolOldLady: In the Enchanted Forest, 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. |
| 332 | * 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. The wolf marked her and later turned her into one. The wolf was revealed to be Red's grandfather. |
| 333 | * DeadpanSnarker: So much so that fandom has nicknamed her "Sassy Granny". |
| 334 | * 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. |
| 335 | * IdiotBall: 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]]. |
| 336 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: She's able to shoot a handgun out of King George's hand a split second before he tried to murdered Ruby in cold blood after framing her and tricking her into believing that she killed Billy. All this with nothing but ''a crossbow''. |
| 337 | * KnightInSourArmour: Of the cynical second variety since she is not the most positive person but she can be violently protective of those she loves. |
| 338 | * MamaBear: Do ''not'' mess with her granddaughter. When King George framed Ruby for murder and then tried to shoot her, Granny shoots the gun out of his hand and threatens to put the next one between his eyes. |
| 339 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: 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''. |
| 340 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 341 | ** The surname "Lucas" was derived from the Greek word "lykos", which means "wolf". |
| 342 | ** 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". |
| 343 | * NeverMessWithGranny: Especially not Enchanted World Granny. |
| 344 | * TheNoseKnows: Even though she can no longer turn into a wolf, she still has a sharp sense of smell. |
| 345 | * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: And apparently ends when a woman reaches menopause. |
| 346 | * ParentalSubstitute: To Red and implied to be one to Snow. |
| 347 | * PoorCommunicationKills: 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. |
| 348 | * ProperlyParanoid: About Werewolves. The amount of bolts and locks she's installed to defend her cottage ought to be an indication, as should the fact she spends all night with her crossbow trained on the door. |
| 349 | * RetiredMonster: A literal example since she can no longer turn into a wolf due to age, but still not someone to mess with. |
| 350 | * ScarilyCompetentTracker: While she can no longer become a wolf she still has the tracking ability of one like Ruby does. |
| 351 | * ScarsAreForever: Granny has some due to her encounter with the Big Bad Wolf as a young girl. |
| 352 | * ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She's ''usually'' polite, but make no mistake, she has ''no'' qualms about deploying her signature rapier wit. |
| 353 | * SupremeChef: Being a badass grandma who owns the local diner, it's no surprise she's a excellent chef. In fact, her lasagna is so popular, Rumplestiltskin calls it "overpraised". Which is something she didn't take well.... |
| 354 | * WeaponSpecialization: She's usually seen with a crossbow, even after the curse is broken. |
| 355 | -->'''Red:''' Granny, do you really need that?\ |
| 356 | '''Granny:''' We've got a lawless town, Ruby, damn right I need it. |

| 367 | |
| 368 | A misguided scientist from a different land, whose manipulation of Regina results in him being cursed like those in the Enchanted Forest. In Storybrooke, he works in the hospital as Dr. Whale. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Ruby, though his abhorrence is related to his personality rather than his looks. |
| 371 | * ActorAllusion: He has dyed his hair platinum by the Season 5 episode "Birth"; possibly more of a RealLifeWritesThePlot as this is due to his role on ''Series/IZombie'' having platinum hair. However, Zelena noting that she thought he was dead (his character on the other show is a revenant) definitely counts. |
| 372 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He wants to stop death, protect his beloved brother and save lives... he also robs graves, manipulates Regina, is willing to let a man die with nary a thought, and merely looks on, coldly, as his father is beaten to death. |
| 373 | * AnArmAndALeg: When he brings Daniel back and he CameBackWrong, Daniel rips an arm off. He goes to Rumple to get it repaired. |
| 374 | * TheAtoner: It's implied that his brother CameBackWrong and Dr. Whale wants to make up for things by bringing him back to life the right way this time around. It's later confirmed in "In the Name of the Brother". |
| 375 | * ButtMonkey: As Dr. Whale, he gets magically blasted into a wall unconscious by an evil sorceress ''twice''. |
| 376 | * CasanovaWannabe: Despite his Casanova-like tendencies, he doesn't seem to be very popular with anyone, much less the ladies themselves. |
| 377 | * CreatingLife: His stated goal as Doctor Frankenstein. |
| 378 | * CynicismCatalyst: He originally started out as an idealistic scientist who wanted to find a way to bring the dead back to life. After his little brother was killed, he ended up doing some morally ambiguous things that culminated in bringing said brother back to life as the creature from ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''. |
| 379 | * {{Determinator}}: He's a bit too obsessed with bringing his brother back to life. |
| 380 | * DrFrankenstein: Dr Victor Frankenstein is a MadScientist who lives in the Land Without Color. He serves as a recurring character in the form of Storybrooke's Dr Whale. After his brother was killed, Victor made a deal with Rumplestiltskin for a magic heart to revive him. His brother becomes FrankensteinsMonster in this version. |
| 381 | * DrivenToSuicide: In "In the Name of the Brother," Whale is unable to cope with the harm he caused to his brother and the fact his life's work only resulted in the creation of one of fiction's most famed monsters. He is stopped by Ruby. |
| 382 | * ForScience: As Dr. Frankenstein, he seems to want to bring back the dead partly to prove that he, and by extension science, can. |
| 383 | * FreudianExcuse: His desire to bring the dead back to life stems from wanting to bring back his late mother (and later his little brother) because his father was never the same after she died. |
| 384 | * GenreRefugee: Literally, every other resident of Storybrooke is a Fairy Tale character but he was dragged in from a different parrelel universe based on classic black and white monster movies. |
| 385 | * HandsomeLech: Big time. In fact, this is the [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first thing we found out about him]] in his introductory episode. And when the curse is broken, he only has this to say amidst all the chaos of everyone trying to readjust to their old memories. |
| 386 | -->'''Whale:''' Hey lemme ask you something. Are the nuns still nuns, or can they y'know... date? ''[offhandedly]'' Don't say it's me asking. |
| 387 | * HerrDoktor: As Dr. Frankenstein. |
| 388 | * HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While he's [[DrivenToSuicide contemplating suicide]], he admits to Ruby this is the reason he's been showing up to work drunk since regaining his memories. The name ''Frankenstein'' has become synonymous with a MadScientist and a creator of monsters, when he always wanted it to be remembered for someone who ''saved'' lives. |
| 389 | * HospitalHottie: As Doctor Whale. |
| 390 | * {{Jerkass}}: He does some not-very-nice things. |
| 391 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His second focus episode shows he, despite his cold nature, he does what he does out of a misguided love for his brother. |
| 392 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: He'll go to great lengths to be reunited with his brother, even bringing said brother back from the dead. |
| 393 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: He wears one as a doctor in Storybrooke, in the Enchanted Forest, and in his own world as Dr. Frankenstein. |
| 394 | * MadScientist: Doctor Whale is Doctor Frankenstein after all. |
| 395 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Whale manages to walk around with his ''arm ripped off'' with nothing worse than a few winces. |
| 396 | * MeaningfulName: His last name in Storybrooke is the same name as director James Whale, who directed ''Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}}'' and its sequel, ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein''. Doubles as {{Foreshadowing}}. |
| 397 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He is a lecherous {{Jerkass}} as Dr. Whale, brings people back as mindless monsters (unintentionally) as Dr. Frankenstein, and he didn't even bother trying to stop his brother from killing their father back in his own land. |
| 398 | * MysteriousPast: Prince Charming doesn't even know who he was back in the Enchanted Forest. That's because he's not from the Enchanted Forest at all. |
| 399 | * PowerAtAPrice: Dr. Frankenstein initially scoffs at Rumple's magical abilities and claims to possess a far greater power. The Dark One retorts that even if this is so, he is still not exempt from the universal rule that Rumple knows and respects all too well: whatever kind of power that Frankenstein traffics in, it will still come with a price to pay. |
| 400 | * {{Pride}}: He believes [[ScienceVersusMagic science trumps magic]]. When his arm was ripped off, Rumple told him the price to pay was admitting he was wrong. |
| 401 | * SharpDressedMan: It is clear the guy tries to keep himself looking nice. |
| 402 | * SkewedPriorities: After the curse is broken and the wraith attack has left Storybrooke in turmoil, his only concern is to wonder whether he can date any of the fairies turned into nuns by the Curse? |
| 403 | * SuperDoc: Every time a character goes to the hospital he's the one who treats them, whether they need a GP, surgeon, or pediatrician. |
| 404 | * TheUnfavorite: His father clearly prefers his little brother over Victor. |
| 405 | * WellDoneSonGuy: His father never really respected his scientific achievements and made it quite clear Victor was the family's {{Unfavorite}}. |
| 406 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants to stop death. |

| 415 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/GiancarloEsposito |
| 416 | ->'''Centric Episodes:''' "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" |
| 417 | |
| 418 | The Genie of Agrabah, who falls in love with the Evil Queen. He later becomes the Magic Mirror, and in Storybrooke, he is a newspaper editor named Sidney Glass. |
| 419 | ---- |
| 420 | * AccentSlipUp: His vaguely Arabian accent that he speaks with after being freed is fake or at least exaggerated. He doesn't speak with it in the moments before Leopold frees him from the lamp, and it doesn't return after he's spent some time trapped in Regina's mirror or as Sidney. |
| 421 | * AdaptationalSeriousness: It's revealed that before he was the spirit of the Magic Mirror, he was [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} the Genie of Agrabah]]... except he certainly ''isn't'' the goofball Creator/RobinWilliams played. |
| 422 | * AdaptationalVillainy: The Genie was a good guy in the original story. Here, he starts out as this but is blinded by his love for Regina and commits murder for her. |
| 423 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: In love with Regina and completely devoted to her even though he knows the feeling is not mutual. |
| 424 | * ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes to King Leopold when he kills him. |
| 425 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: As The Genie, he used his last wish to make it so that he would "[[ExactWords never leave the Queen's side and always be able to look upon her face]]". Getting trapped in a Magic Mirror wasn't exactly what he intended, however. Although karmic, 'cause that was a creeper sort of wish. |
| 426 | * ButtMonkey: Mostly serves as one because of Regina in both worlds. |
| 427 | * BrutalHonesty: In his mirror form, he puts the truth in the least comforting way possible as one way to get back at Regina for her abuse. |
| 428 | * TheBusCameBack: Sidney returns eventually in Season 4 (both as human and mirror). |
| 429 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A very borderline case, but one nonetheless. |
| 430 | * CompositeCharacter: He is both The Genie from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' and The Magic Mirror from "Literature/SnowWhite". |
| 431 | ** However Season 6 seems to retcon this with Aladdin referencing knowing a different Genie he freed. |
| 432 | * DeadpanSnarker: He is rather prone to snarking off as Sidney Glass. |
| 433 | * TheDogBitesBack: After Regina frees him from the asylum only to put him back in the mirror, he switches sides to the Snow Queen, who frees him after he leads Regina into a trap. |
| 434 | * DramaticDeadpan: How the Genie introduces himself. |
| 435 | * {{Fallguy}}: Takes the rap for Kathryn's kidnapping, despite it being a patently obvious attempt by Regina to frame Mary Margaret for murder. |
| 436 | * {{Guyliner}}: As the Genie. |
| 437 | * HiredToHuntYourself: The Genie was asked by King Leopold to identify Regina's lover. |
| 438 | * IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: He's lovingly devoted to Regina, who sees him as a pawn. |
| 439 | * JackassGenie: While it's the magic that's malicious, he's still personally a jerkass in either world. |
| 440 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: As the genie, he killed Snow White's father to earn the affections of the Queen. As Sidney Glass, he lets himself be manipulated by Regina and takes the fall for framing Mary Margaret because of his unrequited love for her. |
| 441 | * LoveMakesYouStupid: When King Leopold granted him the last wish from his own lamp, he said that he would never use it, because it always backfires. He used it anyway because he loved Regina, and got trapped in a mirror as a result. |
| 442 | * LoveMartyr: To Regina. |
| 443 | * MagicalNegro: For Regina. Unlike most examples, his selfless devotion to Regina is not presented positively. Instead, it's portrayed as an unhealthy obsession that allows Regina to manipulate him into killing the man who freed him, getting trapped in a mirror, falsely confessing to a kidnapping, and ending up in a mental hospital. He remains in love with her even though she makes it clear that she does not care about him. |
| 444 | * MagicMirror: The TropeNamer from the Enchanted Forest. |
| 445 | * ManlyFacialHair: Had an impressive beard in Enchanted Forest. It was absent in his Sidney Glass persona at first, but in his reappearance in Season 4 he has grown a shorter beard. |
| 446 | * TheMole: Doubly subverted. First he acted as a mole for Emma against Regina, but then it turns out he was a mole for Regina against Emma. |
| 447 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Season 4 reveals that even his loyalty to Regina has its limits. After spending the past several months locked up in the asylum after taking the fall for her in regards to Katherine's kidnapping, he attempts to reassert himself as someone she considers more than a pawn when she frees him. However, after she imprisons him in a mirror again and continually threatens to have him re-committed should he not comply, he finally sells her out to Ingrid on the promise that she free him (which she actually makes good on). |
| 448 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: Always does what Regina tells him, even if he knows what he's doing is immoral or harmful to him. |
| 449 | * OurGeniesAreDifferent: And apparently they can be sealed into Mirrors and just as prone to their [[LiteralGenie magic backfiring]] on them as the people they grant wishes for. |
| 450 | * PutOnABus: Sidney is conveniently locked away in Regina's private asylum where he apparently remains even after the curse is broken, this being due to Giancarlo Esposito's commitment to ''Series/{{Revolution}}''. |
| 451 | * TokenMinority: One of the very few people of color in Storybrooke. |
| 452 | * UndyingLoyalty: Even after Regina keeps him locked up long after it's served any purpose, when she finally does come for him he only says that he never lost faith and knew there was some purpose to everything she was doing. |
| 453 | ** Subverted after she puts him back in the mirror. He rats Regina out to the Snow Queen because the Snow Queen promised to free him from the mirror, which she does. |
| 454 | * UnwittingPawn: As the Genie to Regina. |

| 462 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Jefferson:''' ''Perhaps you're the one that's mad.'']] |
| 463 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/SebastianStan |
| 464 | ->'''Centric Episodes:''' "Hat Trick" |
| 465 | |
| 466 | A man able to jump from different worlds through the aid of his hat. He became trapped in Wonderland and was known as the Mad Hatter until the Dark Curse brought him to Storybrooke, where he lives as a rarely-seen recluse. |
| 467 | ---- |
| 468 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: One of the better examples on the show: in keeping with the show's treatment of other fairytale characters, the Mad Hatter is not a strange-looking older man with mad scientist hair, but an extremely handsome young man. |
| 469 | * AntiVillain: 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. Though it is subverted after his first appearance in chronological order, which showed that he helped manipulate Regina for his own greedy motives, and was blissfully unrepentant, unlike Victor Frankenstein, who sounded a bit shaken after his participation. |
| 470 | * ArcWords: [[MadnessMantra "Get it to work" comes up quite a lot]], but if you squint "going/never going home" comes up quite often too. |
| 471 | * BigNo: Screamed as Regina and her father abandon him in Wonderland. |
| 472 | ** LittleNo: Barely audible and far more broken immediately after its louder counterpart. |
| 473 | * BlessedWithSuck: He remembers the Enchanted Forest 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. |
| 474 | * CharacterDevelopment: Fatherhood changed him drastically for the better. Being trapped in Wonderland didn't. |
| 475 | * 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 travelling days in "The Doctor", very unlike the man we were first (episodically, if not chronologically) introduced to in "Hat Trick". |
| 476 | * DestinationDefenestration: Mary Margaret pushes him out a window in order to escape. |
| 477 | * DimensionalTraveler: Via his magic hat. |
| 478 | * DisappearedDad: He told Grace he would only leave her with the neighbours for a day, but ends up trapped in Wonderland. |
| 479 | * TheDogBitesBack: |
| 480 | ** Him freeing Belle and sending her to Rumple with the information Regina was holding her prisoner. |
| 481 | ** His prior treatment of Regina falls neatly in this category. It's like a circle of dog kicking. |
| 482 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: How much of this trope he is depends on where he is on the morality/sanity spectrum. Before his CharacterDevelopment, as a weapons-grade {{Jerkass}}, he was completely this trope. After, with his daughter, he was more or less normal, if dressed in somewhat flamboyant but tattered clothes. In Storybrooke, he's completely this trope. |
| 483 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a gruesome one around his neck from his decapitation in Wonderland. He hides it with a scarf in Storybrooke. |
| 484 | * {{Guyliner}}: In the Enchanted Forest. |
| 485 | * HellBentForLeather: Jefferson wore a black leather coat before he stopped his portal jumping work for Rumplestiltskin. |
| 486 | * HeroicBSOD: When he's stuck in Wonderland. |
| 487 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: A non-romantic variant in Storybrooke. If he can't be with his daughter, if he is going to be tormented by the knowledge of the curse... then he's not going to make his daughter share his burden. As he asks Emma when she suggests it, "How cruel do you think I am?" However, he'd much prefer to be with her. |
| 488 | * KickTheDog: Now matter how much help he gives to Regina, she always kicks him when things get rough, leading to... |
| 489 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Regina's treatment of him may be spectacular KickTheDog behavior, but after seeing his role in [[BreakTheCutie breaking]] and [[CorruptTheCutie corrupting]] her for Rumplestiltskin by having Dr Frankenstein purposefully fail to resurrect her beloved Daniel, it's also rather karmic. |
| 490 | * LosingYourHead: It was hacked off in Wonderland but was reattached when the Queen of Hearts ordered him to recreate [[PortalNetwork his multidimensional hat]]. |
| 491 | * LotusEaterMachine: Willing to put himself in one if his deal with Regina pays off: 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 Enchanted Forest. |
| 492 | * MadeOfIron: He took the blunt force of a telescope to his head and still managed to chase after Emma, as well as falling out of a two story window and fleeing from the scene of impact. |
| 493 | * MadnessMantra: "Get it to work, get it to work, get it to work, get it to work..." |
| 494 | * MeaningfulName: Jefferson's name is a reference to the band Music/JeffersonAirplane, which had a hit song called "White Rabbit", itself a reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. |
| 495 | * NiceGuy: In "Hat Trick", he generally appears to be a lovely person and a good father. Before, and in Storybrooke, not so much - though in the latter case, goodness knows how long in Wonderland, plus 28 years of being completely aware of the curse and unable to reach out to his daughter, have clearly done a number on him. |
| 496 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: His proximity while he converses with Emma and Regina seem too close to be necessary. Played for creepy intimidation factor with Emma: at one point he even ''sniffs her'' ''[[https://24.media.sapphicpalaceofdelights.com/tumblr_mclaakXkja1r163gho1_r1_250.png hair]]''. She is understandably freaked out by this. |
| 497 | * TheOphelia: [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-Flipped]] |
| 498 | * PapaWolf: He loves Grace more than anything. |
| 499 | * PortalNetwork: Jefferson's Magic Hat contains one of these, full of [[PortalDoor doors]] to various universes. |
| 500 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: How he acted toward Emma and Grace/Paige when he spied on them through his telescopes - though in the latter case, it's somewhat ameliorated by the fact that it's explicitly as an alternative to going and breaking her illusion of a happy family life. |
| 501 | * SlippingAMickey: Twice he gives someone tea, twice it knocks them [[InstantSedation out cold in seconds]]. |
| 502 | * TallDarkAndHandsome [[TallDarkAndSnarky and Snarky]] |
| 503 | * TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: In "Hat Trick", he pulls a classic "poison the drink and knock them unconsious" trick on Emma. |
| 504 | * TookALevelInKindness: At some point between the Enchanted Forest events in "The Doctor" and "Hat Trick", he loses much of his ruthlessness that he showed when he was willing to help Rumplestiltskin corrupt Regina. This is because he found a woman to love and [[DeliverUsFromEvil have a child with]]... and when his evil "line of work" caused him to lose said woman, he quit it for good and focused only on being a good man and good father for his daughter. |
| 505 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: Wonderland, to be specific. |
| 506 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: He fakes a limp after Emma ran over him with her car, to take her to his house. |

| 520 | * HandyMan: In Storybrooke. Strangely, not as adept with clocks. |
| 521 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Archie[=/=]Jiminy Cricket in Storybrooke. |
| 522 | * KnightTemplarParent: Due to his fears that the Curse would turn Pinocchio back into wood, he lied to Snow about the Wardrobe being only able to fit one person, instead of two, so he could send Pinocchio through first. |
| 523 | * MrFixit: His job in both the Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke. |

| 525 | * OrphansOrdeal: Which is Jiminy's fault, no less. |
| 526 | * PapaWolf: To Pinocchio, to the point where he was willing to lie to Snow White and Charming about the extent of the enchanted tree's magic in order to protect him from the curse. |

| 553 | |
| 554 | Belle's father. In Storybrooke, he is Moe French, the owner of a flower shop. |
| 555 | ---- |
| 556 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Comparing Maurice to the bumbling dad from the animated movie, you can see that this Maurice has a few more mean bones in his body than his counterpart. |
| 557 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He smugly asks Gold whether Belle has finally "come to her senses" and left him... which would have a lot more weight to it if he hadn't willingly been a witness at their wedding. |
| 558 | * KnightTemplarParent: See WellIntentionedExtremist below. |
| 559 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: While he does have his reasons, his decision to not wake Belle from the sleeping curse ultimately pushes Gold even further over the edge in the attempt to save her and their unborn child, which only makes things worse. There's no real telling what he would've gotten up to if Belle ''had'' been awake, but it would've at least calmed him down. |
| 560 | * PrettyInMink: In the Enchanted Forest. |
| 561 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: In "The Crocodile" he has Belle kidnapped and tries to force her over the border in an attempt to mind-wipe her into forgetting about Rumplestiltskin, even though he knows that she'll forget about him too. Keep in mind that Belle's Storybrooke persona is virtually non-existent, consisting of nothing more than being locked in a cell for twenty-eight years. [[FridgeHorror If the plan had worked, she would have woken up handcuffed in a mine cart, totally amnesiac and with a complete lack of functional twenty-first century skills]]. |
| 562 | ** He also refused to wake his pregnant daughter up from the sleeping curse just to keep Rumplestiltskin away from her even though their goals were aligned (namely, keeping Belle safe), thereby completely taking away her agency and endangering her life and that of his own grandchild in the process. |

| 663 | ---- |
| 664 | * AdaptationalNameChange: Though the Sheriff's name is never usually given in Robin Hood stories, ''OUAT'' has him at numerous times refer to himself as 'Nottingham' or 'Sheriff Nottingham', indicating that, in this world, he's not the sheriff of a place called Nottingham (likely since it's a real place), but Nottingham is actually just his name. |

| 670 | * StrawMisogynist: Likely a reason he tends to get hurt so much, but he's just disgusting around women with his behaviour being dangerously predatory. The only reason he's not an actual rapist at this point is that he's not ''succeeded'' in his attempts. |
