Отец реджины однажды в сказке

В одном из королевств Зачарованного леса принц Генри, сын короля Ксавье, занимал пятое место в очереди на престол. Однажды он и его отец составляют компанию Еве, принцессе Северного королевства, приехавшей с визитом. Генри впервые обращает внимание на Кору, дочь мельника, когда та, упав, рассыпает муку и портит туфли Евы. Он единственный заступается за неё, предположив, что девушка не хотела никому навредить. Тем не менее, принц уходит вместе с остальными представителями королевской семьи после того, как король Ксавье заставляет встать на колени и принести извинения Еве.

Позднее он сталкивается с Корой на маскараде, устроенном в честь принца Генри, которому пора выбрать себе невесту. Девушка не в восторге от битвы за сердце принца, о чём говорит незнакомцу в маске. К её удивлению этот человек оказывается самим Генри, который, заинтригованный собеседницей, приглашает её на танец. Неожиданно вмешивается король Ксавье. В конце танца король перед придворными клянётся: если дочь мельника сможет спрясть золото из соломы – она выйдет замуж за принца, если нет – умрёт.

На следующий день Кора успешно демонстрирует свои способности перед королевским двором. Принц делает ей предложение. Вскоре у Генри и его жены появляется дочь Реджина. Кора заявляет, что когда-нибудь их дочь станет королевой. («Дочь мельника»)

Несколько лет спустя маленькая Реджина случайно оборачивает против себя волшебство палочки матери. Теперь исцелить Реджину может только тот, кто близок к ней и не успел причинить ей вреда. Кора приводит из страны Оз свою старшую дочь Зелину. Той легко удаётся вылечить Реджину. Как только дочери становится лучше, Генри расспрашивает жену о пришедшей девочке, но Кора не раскрывает правду. («Сестры»)

Принц Генри старается поддерживать дочь во всех начинаниях. Это сильно раздражает его жену, которая недовольна, что Реджина ведёт себя как простолюдинка. Она также придаёт большое значение тому, что её дочь до сих пор не замужем. Кора применяет магию для давления на дочь. Хотя Генри не нравятся такие методы воспитания, его попытка противостоять им всегда оборачиваются неудачей.

После того, как Реджина спасает маленькую Белоснежку, благодарный король Леопольд, отец девочки, делает ей предложение. Генри незаметно подаёт знаки поражённой девушке, чтобы та отказала. Воспользовавшись моментом Кора даёт согласие за дочь. («Конюх»)

Незадолго до свадьбы Реджина признаётся отцу, что будет несчастна в будущем браке. Не желая становиться похожей на свою мать, она спрашивает, каким образом Кора изменилась. Генри смутно вспоминает о человеке, обучившем его жену магии при помощи книги заклинаний. («Мы похожи»)

Будучи замужем за королём Леопольдом, Реджина знакомится с Джинном, которого её муж освободил из лампы. Джинн влюбляется в королеву с первого взгляда, и та использует его чувства для избавления от брака без любви. Она пишет о своей «привязанности» к одному человеку в дневнике. Король, не зная имя этого человека, читает записи и в гневе запирает жену в замке. По просьбе дочери Генри через Джинна передаёт ей сундук с ядовитыми гадюками внутри. В конечном итоге Реджина манипулирует влюблённым Джинном, чтобы тот убил короля. («Плод ядовитого дерева»)

В годовщину смерти Дэниела Генри сопровождает Реджину, когда та прерывает свадьбу деревенских жителей, проходящую на территории её замка. Королева не давала разрешение на проведение церемонии, за что вырывает у жениха сердце. Отец просит её не переходить черту, особенно учитывая памятную дату. Реджина в ярости требует не напоминать, какой сегодня день. Она выходит из себя, увидев в его словах упрёк в слабости, и давит сердце. Королева направляется к карете. Прежде, чем сесть туда, она приказывает отцу самостоятельно добираться до дома, так как ей предстоят другие дела.

Вечером, пока Генри расчёсывает волосы дочери, в покои входит Кора, которая просит удивлённого мужа уйти. («Мама»)

Даже в собственный день рождения Реджина по-прежнему одержима местью Белоснежке. Генри снова и снова пытается её отговорить. Осознав, что дочь не желает его слушать, он просит Волшебное Зеркало связать его с Корой. Он просит её помочь Реджине двигаться дальше, но Кора считает, что их дочери необходимо совершить своё возмездие. Тогда Генри договаривается с Белоснежкой о встрече в лесу. Кора, которой удалось попасть в Зачарованный лес через зеркало, принимает облик мужа и добирается до назначенного места первой. Прибытие настоящего Генри отвлекает Белоснежку, и колдунья успевает вырвать её сердце. Генри тайно подменяет сердце Белоснежки на сердце Чёрного рыцаря. Правда раскрывается лишь на праздновании дня рождения Реджина, когда та безуспешно пытается убить падчерицу. Реджина уменьшает отца до крошечных размеров и заключает его в ларце после очередной попытки Генри образумить её. Тем не менее, она понимает, что отец был прав насчёт Коры. Реджина снова отправляет мать в Страну Чудес без возможности возврата. Однако Кора успевает отобрать ларец, в котором находится Генри. («Души усопших»)

Не имея другой возможности вернуть отца, Реджина заключает сделку с Джефферсоном. Они доходят до хранилища Королевы Червей, откуда Реджина забирает шкатулку. У самого выхода она останавливается, чтобы взять кусочек гриба, который бережно кладёт в шкатулку. В это же мгновение оттуда вырастает её отец. Она обездвиживает ноги Джефферсона, помнящего главное правило шляпы: сколько человек войдёт, столько и выйдет. На его глазах Реджина и её отец проходят через зеркало, не оставляя Джефферсону надежды снова увидеть свою дочь Грейс. («Трюк со шляпой»)

Реджина ведёт войну против Белоснежки и Прекрасного принца. В конце концов её берут в плен и приговаривают к смертной казни. Накануне Генри навещает свою дочь в тюрьме с просьбой вымолить прощение. Реджина не следует его советам. Тем не менее, Белоснежка останавливает казнь. После изгнания Реджины из королевства Генри остаётся с ней. Во дворце он объявляет о прибытии Румпельштильцхена, который подсказывает бывшей Королеве план новой мести. Обрадованная Реджина приказывает подать карету, чтобы отправиться на свадьбу Белоснежки и Прекрасного принца. («Игра в Крикет»)

Реджина клянётся отомстить своим врагам и для этого пытается наложить проклятье. Она собирает самые тёмные души и жертвует сердце своего любимого коня, но ничего не происходит. Тогда Генри советует дочери обратиться к создателю проклятья — Румпельштильцхену. Королева возвращается в свой замок в противоречивом состоянии. Она обсуждает со своим отцом, как лучше поступить. Он уговаривает её отказаться от мести, чтобы начать новую жизнь. Реджина обнимает своего отца и со слезами на глазах вырывает его сердце. Жертва оправдывает ожидания Злой Королевы. Проклятье начинает действовать. Перед уходом она бережно кладёт розу на могилу отца. («То, что мы больше всего любим»)

“	And I wouldn’t dismiss those stories just yet. You see, even though you can’t admit it, I think you’re quite a lot like your namesake. He was my favorite character. Henry Mills: Of course he was. Everyone loves a little kid full of hope and belief. Weaver: Yeah, I didn’t like him because he was full of hope and belief. I liked him because he fought for those things. And I can tell you’re not giving up just yet.	”

Early Life

Henry was born in prison on August 15, 2001 to an eighteen-year-old girl named Emma Swan. His birth father was Neal Cassidy. Both his parents originated from a magical land called the Enchanted Forest, where his mother was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming while his father ,Neal, was really named Baelfire and the son of Rumplestiltskin. After he is born, Emma gives Henry up for a closed adoption, meaning she will have no contact or rights with her biological child. However, Emma does this to give Henry his best chance for a better life.

At six weeks old, Henry was adopted by Regina Mills, the mayor of a quaint town called Storybrooke. However, she was really the Evil Queen from Fairy Tale Land. Regina nearly gave Henry up after learning that his mother was the Savior destined to destroy the Curse, but changed her mind after looking at the Baby again. She is worried that one day, Henry’s mother might change her mind and want her son back, but Regina instead, uses a magical potion that helps her forget about Emma and turn her attention to Henry.

Growing up, Henry was a lonely child who felt unloved by both his adoptive and biological mothers, not even Regina giving Henry a TRON lunchbox makes him feel better. . He was the only one who aged while everyone remained the same. One day while sitting in a courtyard, Henry’s grandmother, Snow White (under the guise of Mary Margaret in the Dark Curse)  saw how lonely Henry was and gave him a book about fairytales. When Henry read the book, he noticed how much Mary Margaret resembled Snow White and led him to believe that there was a curse and set out to find his mother after seeing her name in the book: Emma.

Henry steals Mary Margaret’s credit card to look for his mom.

of Regina adopting a Henry Mills in Boston. He wakes up after calling his younger self and realizes his mother and
daughter were right. Henry kisses Regina on the forehead, thus breaking the Curse and reviving his mother. Henry is then reunited with his family.

Henry is a member of the Nolan, Gold, and the Swan Family. Through adoption, he is a member of the Mills family. Together the families are sub-families of the Royal Family of the Enchanted Forest. Henry is also a former member of the Resistance and a member of the House of Tremaine through marriage. 

Early Life

Henry was born in prison on August 15, 2001 to an eighteen-year-old girl named Emma Swan. His birth father was Neal Cassidy. Both his parents originated from a magical land called the Enchanted Forest, where his mother was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming while his father ,Neal, was really named Baelfire and the son of Rumplestiltskin. After he is born, Emma gives Henry up for a closed adoption, meaning she will have no contact or rights with her biological child. However, Emma does this to give Henry his best chance for a better life.

At six weeks old, Henry was adopted by Regina Mills, the mayor of a quaint town called Storybrooke. However, she was really the Evil Queen from Fairy Tale Land. Regina nearly gave Henry up after learning that his mother was the Savior destined to destroy the Curse, but changed her mind after looking at the Baby again. She is worried that one day, Henry’s mother might change her mind and want her son back, but Regina instead, uses a magical potion that helps her forget about Emma and turn her attention to Henry.

Growing up, Henry was a lonely child who felt unloved by both his adoptive and biological mothers, not even Regina giving Henry a TRON lunchbox makes him feel better. . He was the only one who aged while everyone remained the same. One day while sitting in a courtyard, Henry’s grandmother, Snow White (under the guise of Mary Margaret in the Dark Curse)  saw how lonely Henry was and gave him a book about fairytales. When Henry read the book, he noticed how much Mary Margaret resembled Snow White and led him to believe that there was a curse and set out to find his mother after seeing her name in the book: Emma.

Henry steals Mary Margaret’s credit card to look for his mom.
