elsa: i went through the thread, and, well, i do think my approach to regina is fairly different from the previous player's, but i think the gist of the thread can definitely apply! sensing elsa's lie and feeling her magic, she'd definitely overreact and try to restrain her, which leads to the fight and the freezing, etc. :) she's definitely saying a lot of, "it was self-defense! she was throwing ice at me! look, she froze my heart!" at this point but it's really just empty words -- she knows she spooked elsa, and elsa, frankly, responded the way regina herself would have done. going in the direction of regina helping elsa also works! i don't know if she'd, well, offer out of the generosity of her heart, but she might say, "well, SOMEONE has to make sure you don't freeze another innocent bystander's heart," then take it on herself to do that.
will: i actually haven't seen ouatiw either! will is, in fact, on regina's "murder and then bury somewhere remote in the dead of night" list. she is NOT pleased with the fact that he'd accept the heart of a child, and no doubt she's just waiting for a chance to "accidentally" set him on fire.
neal: makes sense that regina wants to keep henry's abilities on the down-low! it's really the snatching henry's memories bit that i'm struggling with, because regina's lost him about eleventy-jillion times in the past season, and she does not want to duplicate her mistakes (which were, themselves, duplications of cora's mistakes) re: using magic to "help" him. /pointless ramble
basically, yes -- if neal's headspace is all "protect henry," then that's good. :)
belle: regina has zero faith in belle's ability to tie her shoes properly, let alone look after a kid ;) but yes, i'm sure a shouting match is brewing!
giselle: oh dear, it's like snow white only even worse. i'm sure regina is going to be cringing, holding her at arms' length, trying to put her in belle's old cell, etc.
thanks again! <3 i'm really looking forward to getting started!
