Regina Mills (The Evil Queen) is the Mayor of Storybrooke, Maine, a quiet little New England town where nothing has changed in as long as anyone can remember. That’s because she is actually The Evil Queen, who transported and trapped everyone from Fairy Tale Land in Storybrooke with no memory of who they really are and no hope at happiness. She lives with her adopted son, Henry, who one day sneaks off to Boston to find his birth mother, Emma Swan. Emma returns Henry, but from the moment they meet, Regina can’t wait to be rid of her. Not only is she a threat to her relationship with Henry, but it also becomes clear that she’s a threat to The Dark Curse itself. So Regina stops at nothing to get Emma to leave, including framing her for burglary and releasing sordid details of her life in the local newspaper.
