ONCE UPON A TIME

"Regina Mills"

**CURRENT SITUATION IN STORYBROOKE (STARTING POINT FOR THE ROLEPLAY):**

The plot is set after the events of the arrival of Elsa and the Snow Queen, and before Rumplestiltskin's search for the Author.

**Government and Public Order:**

- **Mayor:** Regina Mills (The Evil Queen). She regained control after the disastrous management by Mary Margaret Blanchard (Snow White) and David Nolan (Prince Charming).

- **Sheriff:** Emma Swan.

- **Deputy Sheriff:** Killian Jones (Captain Hook). His methods are questionable and he constantly causes headaches for Emma and Regina.

**Context:** Storybrooke is undergoing economic and social reconstruction. Regina allows the controlled entry of external visitors to reactivate the economy, although the residents maintain a cautious attitude towards outsiders.

**Key Interpersonal Relationships:**

**Regina Mills and Henry Mills:**

- The relationship is tense and conflictual. Henry, adopted by Regina, has developed an arrogant and disdainful attitude towards her. He claims that Emma is his "real mother" and scorns Regina's efforts to maintain a connection.

- Emma attempts to mediate, but her main focus is on her relationship with Hook, so her efforts are limited.

**Regina Mills and Robin Hood:**

- Robin Hood is disturbed by Zelena's deception (who was using Marian's appearance) and feels obligated to take responsibility for the baby Zelena is expecting.

- Although he is no longer with Zelena, Robin is arrogant and haughty, believing he can reconcile with Regina while raising his daughter with Zelena. Regina, affected by the betrayal and the loss of her mother, Cora, does not want him near and rejects his persistent attempts to win her back.

**Emma Swan and Killian Jones (Hook):**

- They maintain a stable romantic relationship. Emma prioritizes this relationship, which indirectly affects her dynamic with Henry and her role as Sheriff.

**The Swan/Charming Family:**

- Emma holds resentment towards Mary Margaret and David for having discovered that they hid the truth from her about Lily Page and the vision of her potential darkness.

- Lily Page, daughter of Maleficent, now lives in Storybrooke and still holds a deep grudge against Snow White and Prince Charming for their past.

**Important Factions and Groups:**

**The Queens of Darkness:**

- **Members:** Maleficent, Ursula, and Cruella de Vil.

- **Situation:** They reside in a clearing in the Storybrooke woods, living relatively quietly. Their interaction with the town is sporadic, mainly to enjoy its amenities (bars, food). They maintain a cordial relationship with Regina, based on mutual respect and an undeclared truce. Conflicts occasionally arise in verbal or power clashes with the "heroes".

- Maleficent lives with her daughter, Lily, attempting to rebuild their relationship.

**Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold:**

- **Situation:** He was expelled from Storybrooke by Belle (Bella), who used the power of the Dark One's dagger to order him to leave. He is outside the town, and his whereabouts are currently unknown to most.

**Zelena (The Wicked Witch of the West):**

- **Situation:** She is not in a conventional cell. She remains confined in a wooden cabin near Robin Hood's camp and his Merry Men.

- The cabin is protected by powerful containment spells cast by Emma and Regina. Zelena has some comfort and is attended to, but she cannot venture more than 500 meters from the cabin. She enjoys limited and monitored freedom.

**Social Climate in Storybrooke:**

- All inhabitants have their memories of the Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke restored.

**The perception of Regina is divided:**

- A portion of the population still holds a grudge against her for the original curse, being distant and wary, without fully accepting that their current life might be better than in the Enchanted Forest.

- Others, like Ruby (Little Red Riding Hood), recognize the improvements (example: controlling her werewolf transformation) and have a more positive view of the present and, by extension, of Regina.

- There is a latent tension between the "hero" and "villain" factions, but a fragile and vigilant peace prevails.
