Best Once Upon a Time Characters
The Top Ten Best Once Upon a Time Characters
The best villain and hero! Way better than any of the full good characters like Snow White and prince charming, but she is kind of good herself. Protecting her child, saving the town, and she also had a sassy side that you just gotta love!
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 think Regina Mills is the best character in once upon a time because she moved from dark to light and is a badass girl.love HER!
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
He is completely misunderstood. Bell is the only one he gets him. Okay, so from the beginning. He became the dark one to stop a horrible war and save his son. He never meant to let his son go and he spent around 200 years trying to get him back. That's a long time, he cared a lot. He might have done some bad things but he was trying to get back to his son. When he meets Bell he loves her so much, even if he messed up by making her leave. But, that's the thing, for someone to be my favorite character, and I thinks it's the same for a lot of people, based on the first three. They have to do some bad things. A character who is good at heart but does some bad things makes their character deep, and makes them awesome. That's why I hate Neal/ Baelfire, even though Rumpelstiltskin spent about 200 years looking for him, he couldn't forgive him. Even if he was just a villain( which he's not) with no good heart, he is would still awesome because he is funny, so manipulative and great with ...more
Love love love rumple he's my favourite with Regina a close second. Robert Carlisle does such a good job no-one else could do the role. He's fab as Mr gold but when he's the impish rumple that's just a different level he really is in a league of his own X
I love this guy! he's the most powerful character in the whole show (still alive that is because of hades and I'm not counting zeus because it was less than a minute of screen time) he's the funniest and the smartest. His style is classy as all hell, and his personality and attitude are just amazing! Also love Robert Carlyle. And its true what he says in season 4, he always wins. In the end, I dare anyone to say in any instance where rumple did not win.
Best character by far. Comedy and a dark past mixed into a single story. Completely misunderstood and attractive in his own strange way. Not the main villain and yet the most feared, Regina is no match as even she is shown to fear the man.
Captain James Hook is a fictional character, the antagonist of J. M. Barrie's play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and its various adaptations, in which he is Peter Pan's archenemy. Well, Hook is the best character to have ever existed on Once Upon a Time, but I disagree with that first paragraph. As much as I loved him in seasons two and three, I loved him even more since he began dating Emma Swan and redeeming himself. He and Emma bring out the best in each other. Along with Regina and Snowing, in my opinion, they are the reason why this show is so good.
His sarcastic humor makes him really special. Unlike other pirates, he has a heart and also, he is hot
I really liked him in season 2 and even season 3. But after that he became more or less a lapdog puppy totally infatuated with Emma Swan. Which I find very strange because he used to be a really witty and layered character. Now he is just twisting himself into bizar situations in which he must and shall proof himself to be worthy to Emma Swan by being good. Captain Hook shouldn't care how he is labelled. He is a bloody rapscallion pirate and he only cares about living life and living by his code. That's all.
Roast me, but he's so overrated in my opinion. He was pretty cool in the second season, then when they tried to redeem him, he became a boring lovesick teenager. His backstory felt incredibly forced to make him a good guy but it was very cliche just made him look more like a jerk. I hate how even after Emma told him their first kiss was a one-time thing he continued to pursue her and practically won her a prize for trading his ship. Season 5 was practically "Once Upon a Hook".
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.
The main character had to be on here at some point. I felt awful for her in the episode Neal left her because August blackmailed him. She's had to be so strong all the time because she never had a family.
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.
Ruby was hardworking, fierce, stubborn, caring, wut else do yah need?
Beautiful chemistry between her and Dorothy, as well as the fact that she is layered and deep. Ruby will always be a favorite in my book.
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!
She's both strong-willed and compassionate, motivated towards goodness but still able to see light in characters like Rumple. I love the fact that she's not just a beautiful woman there to give the bad guy a love interest but a well rounded character, intelligent and independent, and not afraid to do what's right.
Sorry but after you pushed rumple over the line, you are not even in my top 100 goodbye
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.
Peter Pan is my favourite Once Upon a Time character for many reasons. I'm really upset that he died, really quickly as well, he basically got killed twice once in season three and once in season 5 (he didn't technically die in season 5 but went to the river of lost souls) *SPOILER ALERT* Originally Peter Pan was a villain and Captain Hook wasn't in the story but instead they made Captain Hook the villain and Peter a hero, so I really like how they made him in the show. LONG LIVE THE NEVERLAND KING. "There are no kings in Neverland, just me. I'm Peter. Peter Pan."
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!
David is the best he is so so so cool and really good at fighting
David/ Prince Charming makes the perfect ship when put up next to Snow White/Mary Margaret. He, like Snow, wants to do anything to protect him family, but tries to go about the right way of doing it. He is courageous, and may I mention...hot!
I really don't like him. Always trying to act like a hero but in fact he seems just stupid and childish to me.
He sucks at playing hero. He acts like a 5 year old in a grown mans body.
Henry mills was the reason Emma came to town and saved them all. He fought and is pretty brave in most of the show. He can be a real cutie when he wants to be and he will always be my favorite character
I really loved in Season 1 and Season 2. He thought for everything. The only thing I want to know is how exactly he left storybrooke, that in flashback would have been a cool episode, like the flashback in Save Henry where he got the book and how he just to battle with the idea that his mum didn't want him, but thought his faith and illegents he brings Emma to Storybrooke and tells her he understands that she gave him up because she wanted to give him his best chance. And in Season 2, he told Gold that his son might understand why he gave him away, and it was really cute when he had the hot-dog. Honesty they just to be so many cute Henry Scence, like in the Name of the Brother, Henry has a horse, but later in disappears, and I was like ' wow' Henry has a horse, but when Henry meets Vilot he doesn't seem sure about her horse, like what?
He is the heart and soul of this show. He deserves to be in the top 10s.
It's good to have some younger characters in shows and he fits that role perfectly
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
The Contenders
I hate her. She always acts so innocent like "what could I ever do? " but then never faces up to it when she does anything.
Ugh. I really hate her in all seasons except the first. In the fist season she was awesome, and then...ugh
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.
Fa Mulan, a character inspired by an actual historic figure is a character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 36th animated feature film Mulan, as well as its sequel Mulan II. The part where it was revealed that she is in love with Aurora shocks me. It broke my heart when I saw the heartbroken look on her face when Aurora told her that she is pregnant, I loved her right there!
I love the character of Mulan!
She's so underrated.
Baelfire: "They made a movie about you. It's actually pretty good."
Mulan: "What's a movie? "
Seriously, if only she did know how much of a badass she really is! She is a determined warrior and does whatever needs to be done. I felt so sorry for her when she was heartbroken over Aurora revealing she was pregnant. Poor Mulan, not being able to tell her how she felt about her. Then when we thought she would have a happy ending with Ruby, Ruby ends up with Dorothy instead. Mulan stood there just chillin' while she is the series first lesbian character. GIVE HER A TRUE LOVE ALREADY! SHE DESERVES IT!
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.
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.
She is amazing she sort of has this scary like wow factor of her and she gives me the chills in all the scenes she's been in and she is all around amazing
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
Sebastian Stan is my all time favourite actor. He's been amazing in everything I've seen him in (most of his rolls) and I think that he played Jefferson perfectly. You can feel the pain he feels and see the pain in his eyes. I think the thing that made Jefferson the perfect character was how he says he's not crazy until the end where he freaks when Emma and Snow escape. It shows us how easily some metal patients can act. Perfectly calm at one moment and out the next. They need to bring Jefferson back. Plus Sebastian is an adorable puppy and everyone loves puppies.
Sebastian stan is an amazing actor and he plays jefferson very very very well! He is so talented. That's why I love his roles.
His insanity is what makes him awesome, and his love for his daughter Grace.
He was all right because all he was trying to do was get his daughter back since he loved her so much.
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.
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.
Kind brave strong vulnerable and complex. An amazing relatable character since young till becoming Neil Cassidy.
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
I absolutely loved this guy and was really upset when he died. Always hoped that Emma and August would become a couple
He's cool and I love how he got his happy ending by turning back into a boy.
He's August again
Who's that?
Cruella de Vil is a fictional character who appeared in Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, Disney's animated film adaptations 101 Dalmatians and 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure, and Disney's live-action film adaptations 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians as the main ...read more. Of all the villians portrayed thus far, she is the ONLY one who doesn't have a motive to become evil. It's clearly stated that she was a troubled child. She poisoned her own father and both of her mothers follow up husbands. for no given specific reason. She was born a true sociopath, she takes the things you love and destroys them. She watched her own mother get ripped apart by dogs, and then killed them also. The only thing she wanted from The Author was what he took from her... The ability to kill again. She is a TRUE villain in this series so, in conclusion, she deserves the Evilest villain award.
Haha Cruella's a badass! I love the way she punched Emma for killing her lol
(! ) SPOILERS(! ) Robin Hood was one of my favorite characters, sooo sad he died though, he was perfect for Regina
Tinker Bell is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy. Tinkerbelle is a really orginal character with in the show. She not my ' All time Favourite' but I think that someone should aknowledge her and no body has. Therefore I would like to point out the amaziness of Tinkerbelle. She is VERY Different from her Disney Version ( see profile picture) in that movie series; ' Disney Fairies Fanchieses' she is a tinker fairy ( To tinker - to mend) and the Belle ( a shiny object) but in Once Upon A Time she is a Tink ( meaning to meddle in love) and a Belle ( Beautiful.) and her backstory ( let face it Steathly does quite match up to the backstory Tinkerbelle gets, and Dreamy/Grumpy and Nova ( cool esposide) but singular not reappearing, same with Tiny ( a Tiny gaint - I heard it a millon times) sorry I still like Tiny and Dreamy ( Heard it a million times love between two spieces.) Airel was find ( by more Disney sterotypival - I dsaw a guty and fell in love with him - plus Airel and Snow relationship was a watered down Snow and Red) Therefore ...more
I love Lily because she is the daughter of Maleficent. I like that because it means that the generation of dragons is not over.
She's badass
Queen Elsa of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 53rd animated film Frozen. He character on once was well written and had great chemistry with the cast especially with Emma & Regina.
My favorite character in Once Upon a Time!
He is a underrated
I just really, really liked his story. I have always been a huge fan of Frankenstein in every form, and this was no different! From Penny Dreadful to Ouat to the Mary Shelley classics- Frankenstein will always have a place in my heart.
WHY IS HE NOT HIGHER UPPP
It is SO obvious that Anna is better than Elsa
I love Anna I hate Elsa
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.
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.
It's not fair. She never ever even deserves to die and neither does nor did Helga. Neither does Gerda. Let's face it. Ingrid would've been there to meet her equally empowered niece, Elsa during Elsa's childbirth the same way Helga would've been there to meet her other niece, Anna during Anna's childbirth too if those stupid, idiotic, idiot writers of Once Upon A Time hadn't killed Helga off nor put Ingrid in that Urn back then before.
Her death is the saddest one by far. Agh!
Loved her.
Can't believe he's not higher on the list - an original character right from Season 1 and always there for everyone whenever they need guidance or someone to talk to - love him!
He is so nice. I love him.
JIMINY FOR THE WIN!
Princess Merida is a fictional character from Pixar's first ever Disney Princess film, Brave. She is a talented archer who wishes that she were not destined to become the Elegant Queen of Dun Broch. She is forced into a marriage betrothal by her mother, with whom she has a very negative relationship. ...read more.She was adorable and beautiful I hope she comes back sometime maybe
Ursula is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film The Little Mermaid.He is hands down the best reoccurring comic relief in the series. Constant off camera shouting about impending doom is enough to make any fan laugh.
One of the best character on the show!
How did they make that shadow? ITs awesome!
It fit Peter Pan perfectly
I very really sorry for Kathryn back in Season 1. She was cursed to have fake memories so in her head she had married David, had a fight with him, she had thought he moved away to Boston and never called her, and then she learns that he was in accident and fell and hospital for goodness know how long ( I don't how it happened in the cruse timeline but Regina must of make his little accident happen quickly, within 1 or 2 years, to one up Snow White, because Daniel was dead - ugh Sometime Regina your not logical, emotionally but not logical. You cursed Snow White so she won't have her Enchanted Forest Memories and Aligibal Counterpart Kathryn was with David.)
Then David and Mary-Maraget seek around and get together. Yes M-M was right in telling David they had to honest but David didn't do that because he was to afraid.
Basically I can see all 3 of their points of views in this type of situation, the true villain was Regina.
I hoped Kathryn (Abiligal) and Jim (Freddick) would ...more
Tamara is very bad and very hot!
