Best Once Upon a Time Characters

She's powerful and nobody should mess with her. Regina has had it bad from the start everybody should feel bad for her because for one she stared out as a nice character but her mother had to come in and mess it all up by killing the one person she loves and setting her on a evil path. Second, in story brook even when she wanted to change and did a good job of it everyone shut her out I mean come on all she wants is her sun.

I love how she has two sides of her and how family will always come first no matter what and that she is trying so hard to find her happy ending but she just needs to open her eyes and notice that she has already found hers and also no matter how much people doubt her she always proves them wrong and shows that she deserves to be happy and be noticed for all the good she can achieve no matter what situation she will face

Regina is the best character on once upon a time she is brave and wont let her feelings cloud her judgement if she thinks something is necessary it probably is and it is nit that easy to be one of the worst villains and turn good and have people doubt you but keep trying any ways

Regina is outstanding

How is she not above rumple? She is perfect in an imperfect way. She has many flaws and has gone through many hardships, but is still very heroic, but not in a Mary-sue type way. She resisted darkness, where all rumple ever does is go back and forth between being good or evil, claiming love for one of his sons or belle. Clearly he doesn't care enough about them to turn good. Also he doesn't have any development in character, he just randomly is good or evil for an episode, before he is on team good guy for the last episode.

Emma Swan is by far the best character I've ever encountered. She's a real badass, but she's also relatable in so many ways. She's so nicely developed and Jennifer Morrison does a wonderful job portraying her. Of course Emma Swan the savior is great. Of course she's awesome being all fearless and dauntless and stuff. But what is even more beautiful is the way she puts on walls, and how broken she is. Emma Swan is a masterpiece.

Emma Swan obviously has to be a strong character with a great background and character development, she is the main character. But also her sarcasm and overall badass is just literally perfect. Jennifer Morrison does an amazing job portraying her character, the Savior.

I so love Emma Swan and I am so sad she will be gone for season 7.But I like too that kilian is staying in the show

Ruby was one of my favorites since the beginning, she has a heartbreaking back story. But she is a strong female character that is absolutely gorgeous.

Not only is she Red Riding Hood, but the Big Bad Wolf, too! She's so sweet and pretty!

Red is such an awesome and strong character, I love the twist in the story!

She's the absolute best

She is strong independent smart and gorgeous what's not to love about belle plus she makes it through everything and still loves and forgives

It's amazing how she could love Rumplestiltskin even after all he's done. I love how she sees the light in everyone and always is the better woman. She never wants revenge, but she still knows how to stand up for herself. Plus, she's gorgeous and really smart.

Sorry but after you pushed rumple over the line, you are not even in my top 100 goodbye

So strong and compassionate. But will cut a bitch if you disrespect her or Rumplestiltskin!

I totally disagree that he is the worst Peter Pan is one of the best characters on the show I was so upset hen he died LONG LIVE PETER PAN plus robbie kay the actor who plays him is HOT

I loved Peter Pan on the show. It was nice to see a iconic character such as him be twisted and become evil. Pan was one of the only villains I found was pure evil and not had a good reason for being so, which is what I liked about him. Robbie played him so well, he is my favourite character for sure.

He is psychotic, ruthless and an even worse villain than Hook ever was in any of the stories and also the only villain with no motivation to being evil. He just wants to cause chaos for the sake of chaos. He is also hot! - Daviddv0601

I am only season five episode 14 so far, but I disagree.

Snow White's the best, always and forever will be :D

Okay, Snow White/ Mary Margaret is my absolute favorite and always will be. She is the fairest of them all, obviously. I love her relationship with Charming and Emma, and she would die to protect her family.

Snow white ain't no woman that's a damn man and I hope the snowman dies! When it happens it will be my favorite episode!

They turned a steroetypical princess into an actual character. - Daviddv0601

He is dependable smart and courageous, he was perfect for Emma, and when he was in his teen years, he was kinda cute, like peter pan

Yes! He is one of my favorite characters. After all the ships/romances Emma has gone through, he is my favorite.

Neal is so good it was so sad when gophers died I wish Emma and Neal got back together

Who even is this guy? I watched all the seasons and I don't even remember him

He is the heart and soul of this show. He deserves to be in the top 10s. - Daviddv0601

It's good to have some younger characters in shows and he fits that role perfectly

The truest believer, author and probably the first hero in storybrooke sadly he outshined with older more present characters but he is the only reason why the events of Once Upon A Time ever happened

My favorite

I loved her in season one because that's when she tried to do her best to get rid of Emma, it was so awesome and sweet at the same time because she was trying to keep Emma from her son, who she cared about so much, and thanks to Cora, Regina was not able to have kids, which is why this is so sweet. It's awesome because I love when Regina goes all dark because she is so cool when she does, you can see how much she doesn't care. It shows that she would do anything to get what she wants, it shows how much effort she puts into what she wants. - Dearies

In season one, I really didn't like Regina all that much. Then I saw her episode with Daniel. My heart broke. Plus, she's much prettier than Snow could ever dream to be. She's had to go through so much, and she's stayed strong the whole time. Even if she did stray to the dark side, she's still in actuality just a broken teenage girl who lost the love of her life.

The Evil Queen is interesting but I think that being good is a better path for her. If she does go evil again then she will lose Henry forever

She is fine ass hell!

I felt awful for him when he died! It was sad because Emma was finally opening up to him, and then he died. :(

By far the best character, actually wanted to cry when he died

Everybody loves him. Is death was sad but not as much as what people say. He was a nice character but I think Neal and Killian are hotter. #SorryNotSorry

I seriously loved her. She reminds me of myself sometimes. I tend to get envious most of the time. I also felt extremely sorry for her. She was abandoned by her mother, where she was raised by an abusive 'father' who didn't even want her, then ends up being bullied by Regina endlessly. Of course, Regina and Zelena eventually make up and finally become sisters, but Regina still acts like the overprotective sister and even blames Zelena for the death of Robin Hood, even after when she saved her life from Hades! Seriously, she is such an iconic character. I love her when she's an antihero. She's just saving the day but desperately wants to use dark magic and be mischief while doing so, but I also adored her wickedness! She was having fun using her powers, and she enslaved Rumplestiltskin, something that not even Cora was able to do! Let's not forget about the part where she hid right under our noses as Marian just to get pregnant with Regina's true love to ruin her happy ending. - Daviddv0601

Zelena is absolutely the best character on the show! She is so well written, and the first villain who I genuinely love, not love to hate. I feel so bad for her, Regina is such a hypocrite for preaching all this "everyone gets a happy ending" stuff yet not letting her sister have a chance at it!

Zelena is one of my favorite characters in once! She's so well at making everyone think she's sad, happy, angry, And I just really love her WICKED personality!

She is one of the best characters with her powerful magic and strong ambition. In my opinion, she was the highlight of season 3.

An absolutely twisted mastermind of a character, Hades knows just how to break anyone who gets in his way, from Hook all the way to Rumplestiltskin. - WonkeyDude98

He was easily my favorite villain in the show. He had the best backstory. Problem: he died to easily. All they had to do was point the crystal at him. Heart breaking for Zelena, but cheering for the others.

(! ) SPOILERS(! ) Robin Hood was one of my favorite characters, sooo sad he died though, he was perfect for Regina
