We all know the story of how the evil queen cast a deadly curse, threatening the lives of the people of the enchanted forest, destroying their happy endings forever. But the story we didn't know was that the evil queen and Daniel had a daughter before Daniels untimely demise. With the banishment of Cora and her fathers death, Regina was free to look after her daughter and destroy the one thing threatening their lives: Snow White. So when the queen casts the curse and reappears in her legendary creation, Storybrooke, she realises her daughter is missing. So instead she adopts a son, and when her curse is broken, she goes into hiding, the hope for finding her missing child, Evelyn reborn. After years of years of hopeless searching, Regina is good, and no longer wishes for evil, and she had long since given up on searching for her lost child. But when the evil queen returns, Regina, Emma and the heroes must fight against her, but when a mysterious stranger appears on the edge of town, they discover that things are not quite as they seem...
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
