| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |

.:Physical Appearance:. Both in the magical land of the Enchanted Forest and the quaint town of Storybrooke, Regina likes to contrast her cutthroat demeanor with a sophisticated wardrobe. In the land of magic, Regina's attires mainly consisted of various gowns of all shapes and sizes. Whether they hugged her petite frame or whether they flowed along the cobbles behind her, the Evil Queen lived up to her status in only the finest pieces seen throughout the realm. In Storybrooke, however, things are a little different. Trading her role as the Evil Queen for a life as the Mayor, Regina's wardrobe switched from elegant frocks to a more conservative choice of wear instead, fitting for her new stance as an authority figure.
.:Height:. 5'4''
.:Portrayed by:. Lana Parrilla

.:Birthplace:. The Enchanted Forest
.:Family:. Cora (Mother), Prince Henry (Father), Zelena (Half-Sister), Henry (Adoptive Son)
.:Occupation:. The Mayor of Storybrooke
.:History:. "Love is weakness", or at least, those were the words thrust upon her at a young age. While many dream of finding true love in their peaceful slumbers, Regina's hopes of finding the same were cruelly ripped away from her at the hands of her heartless mother, Cora, in a bid to prove that power triumphs over petty love. In one swift motion, Cora ripped Daniel's heart from the comfort of his own body and crushed it before her Daughter's very own eyes. The trauma of losing her soul mate was enough to send Regina's life dwindling out of control, causing the troubled young woman to vow her vengeance against the one girl who helped all of this happen - Snow White.

Sadly for Regina, this was only the beginning of her role as the pawn in her Mother's wicked ways. Cora used her renown manipulation in order to secure Regina the title of Queen by setting her up with Snow White's Father, King Leopold. At the time, Regina rejected such an idea as her heart belonged to the stable boy, however after his untimely death and the the idea that happiness springs to life in the form of power, Regina took his hand in marriage and, in doing so, not only would see to become the Queen, but would become the step-Mother to the little girl she so secretly despised more than any other.

The last thing Regina wanted to do was to follow the footsteps of her vicious Mother. She knew what tampering with magic could do. She knew of the dangerous repercussions that could come with it in a packaged deal... yet still her curiosity got the better of her. She sought a powerful man who went by the name Rumpelstiltskin and, in no time, proved to be quite the student. Propelled by her desire for vengeance, Regina honed her natural talents of using magic and perfected her craft, eventually turning into the powerful sorceress that she was once fearful of.

Though while she now had knowledge of magic up her sleeve, Regina still remained a prisoner in her own home, trapped inside a loveless marriage. In a bid to not only free herself, but to hurt Snow White in the worst possible way, Regina manipulated the Genie of Agrabah and toyed with his heart, tricking the naive man into murdering her husband with the venomous bite of two deadly vipers. Unable to let Regina go, the Genie used his last wish and with it, used it to forever be at her side. However, this wish proved to have tragic repercussions. The Genie quickly found his body being transported to that of a mirror, seemingly trapped inside its reflection forever.

With her husband dead, Regina rose to become the Queen of the Enchanted Forest, though her sinful deeds quickly molded her malevolent reputation throughout the land. She wasn't just the Queen. She was the Evil Queen. Ever since the day Regina assembled the plan to murder her husband, her heart only darkened. Many men and women met their fate at her merciless hands, thought in truth, the Evil Queen was only interested in one heart and said heart remained tucked away in the cozy alcove of Snow White's chest. In a bid to enact her ultimate vengeance and with the help of Rumpelstiltskin himself, Regina casted the infamous Dark Curse that ultimately transported their lies and everything they ever knew to the quaint town of Storybrooke. There, Regina was truly in charge of her own happy ending, but little did she know her entire plan was destined to come to a crashing halt.

Many things happened after that fateful day, things that most wouldn't even dream of mumbling out of pure fear, but no matter which land she graced, one thing would always remain intact: Regina will always be Queen.

"Stupid fairy." she muttered under her breath in a venomous tone. "What does she know about love? I sincerely doubt she could spell the word, much less find it." Regina reached into her elegant attire, pulling out a small trinket in the form of a little golden locket she kept dear to her darkened heart. After tracing her finger along the encrusted edges, Regina slowly opened it up, gazing in awe at the picture of Daniel that remained hidden inside. "I will not be distracted from my revenge... I will not forget you, Daniel." Though deep down, it wasn't just her hunger for revenge that was holding her back, but rather the fear that fate will soon come flailing its arms in her direction. She knew that, no matter how good things were going for her in that moment, her happiness would never last. True love would never last. And not a single fairy in the land was ever going to have her think otherwise. Instead, Regina choose the life of a loveless marriage over investing hope into something that could backfire terribly.

She steadily paced her way through the palace and, while it was quite the remarkable abode, Regina still couldn't help but feel trapped. This wasn't a life that she chose to live, but rather a life forced upon her. She knew she wasn't happy, and she knew that no amount of wealth was ever going to fill the emptiness that had infiltrated her darkening heart. Soon enough, the young woman found herself at Snow White's room, slowly patrolling the area as she cast her eyes over Snow's possessions and belongings. With an impish grin slowly forming at her lips, Regina whispered. "Don't think you've gotten off lightly, dear. You may be young, but there's still a very important lesson that you have to learn. ALL actions have consequences, but yours? Yours will be fatal." Regina scoffed under her breath, taking a glimpse at the portrait of Snow and her immediate family that hung nicely on the wall. "You'll soon come to find out what it's like having everything ripped away from you just as I did, and when that happens? Your pitiful empire will crumble."
