"You have to trust me, Regina. I know best. Love is weakness, Regina. It feels real now. At the start, it always does. But it's an illusion. It fades, and then you're left with nothing. But power - true power - endures. And then you don't have to rely on anyone to get what you want. I've saved you, my love."


So, she was the Mayor of the Storybrooke Underworld. She is Zelena and Regina's mother. She was also the Queen of Hearts!
Feel free to read her application if you wish to know more about her.

Cora and Neal: It could be interesting to plot with these two. A past thread in between him coming to town and Cora's death. Maybe while they're on the look for the dagger, Cora tries to convince Neal to help them because then he could've gotten his revenge on his father, because it had been a choice over him all those years ago.

And probably a present day thread could be fun as well.

Cora and Lily: What evil woman wouldn't want to have a dragon on her side?

Cora Mills

Cora & Neal - Yees! Also maybe a Wonderland thread. He could somehow appear there after what happened with Pan or even before then. That could be in an AU if you wouldn't want that to be canon. An underworld thread could be cool too, Cora convincing Neal to help her rid Rumple of the dagger because of how much he lied to him and etc. I could imagine her wanting the power for herself.

Cora & Lily - Cora definitely has a history with Maleficent. I could see her wanting to tell her things to anger her even further about what happened with Snow. She would probably want her as an ally. I see Lily as being a neutral character, not necessarily being a villain or hero. She's more of an anti-heroine. I'd love to see what directions she'd go with Cora.

So, obviously, Rumple and Cora have some history. If we do something before Rumple loses his heart to hook and zelena, then he might be a bit nicer to her and maybe even slightly apologetic that he tricked Snow into killing her. XD at the very least, he would explain that it was his manipulation that had caused it.

if they meet after he's lost his heart, well, then he might not be quite as willing to account for his actions. >>

There's also Robin, if she wants to meet the new love in Regina's life!

Cora Mills

Cora & Rumple - They have a reaally long past. I could see many threads. IF you'd like a thread where they encounter before he loses his heart, I'm sure that would be fine. She definitely would like an apology, has she probably has a few herself. In the Underworld, she has her heart. She is much more compassionate, but is still fairly selfish. It would probably be best if he told her that it was his fault she died, not completely Snow's. I think that Snow would appreciate that as well.

Cora & Robin - She would probably like to meet Robin. She won't like him, because he is not royalty at all. He's a thief, so he really has no merit (to her). If he goes to the Underworld with everyone else, I could see him wanting to meet Regina's mother.

Rumplestiltskin

Rumple & Cora;;
Good! then we can start with them meeting while he still has his heart. I think that would be weirdly cute, the both of them having a bit more clarity than their evil days. >> Though I imagine Cora isn't quite as ready to be a good guy as Rumple is. XD We can also do past threads, too, since... they're awesome.

Robin & Cora;;
Robin would be SUPER wary around Cora, as he knows the kind of manipulative power she has. He would also want to tell her all about how far Regina has come, and how much better off she is these days. But he wouldn't be cruel about it, since he's Robin. >>

Neal and Cora: I like both of those ideas. Maybe, for the WL thread, Neal is at one of his foster homes and somehow ends up able to go through a mirror, like a 'looking glass' and ends up right in Cora's kingdom. And he has to find a way back before his foster parents notice he's gone. [ Maybe he'd make a deal with Cora, doing something for her would get her to re-open the looking glass for him. ]

And I like the idea of the Underworld thread as well. Neal's been through so much, and, I'm sure that Cora will try to use that. Poor guy can't even get peace in death.

Lily and Cora: I wrote neutral on her app, so I thought so as well. But, yeah it would be interesting to see where a thread with those two goes. Either way it'll be fun.

Cora Mills

Do you still want to do the threads with Cora and Rumple/Robin? =)

I think we have a lot to talk about, don't you mother?

Mad Hatter and Cora Mills:
Oh well, they don't have a long past, but she separated Jefferson from his daughter, cut his head off and made him make hats, which leaded him to insanity. I think he's really messed, and mad at her for such behaviour. Whacha think?

Rumplestiltskin
Definitely! I'll be getting a few starters up soon.

Neal Cassidy
Loving these ideas. I bet that since she has her heart again (after meeting Lily) she would probably be nicer to her as well. Can you make a starter, or should I?

Zelena
Plenty! Should we do a meeting thread? And where do you think that should be? :3

@jefferson
Yep! I love Jefferson. I bet that they'd have a lot to talk about. And Jefferson is known for wanting to get revenge, sometimes. Especially with telling Belle to tell Rumple that Regina locked her up. You should totally make a starter somewhere.

You can start the Lily one and I'll start the WL thread with Neal/Cora

Zelena is back at the farm house. I would say that's as good a place for them to meet as any.
