Emma Swan/Synopsis

== History ==
=== Early Prophecies ===
At least two centuries ago, a woman, Fiona fears one day her son will die fighting a great evil. However, she later learns that she and her son were destined to destroy one another. However, after she cut off Rumpelstiltskin's Savior ties, it directly goes to Emma Swan. The Black Fairy eventually learns these events, beginning to manipulate them so the Final Battle will take place. Centuries before Emma, Regina, and their son Henry were born, they l each appear in a vision seen by an unnamed seer whom Rumplestiltskin meet as a child and warned him that his actions on the battlefield would leave his son fatherless. Decades later, Rumplestiltskin now a dark one, visits her. She transfers her powers to Rumplestiltskin. As the seer lies dying, she states that Rumple will be reunited with his son. The seer prophesied that Regina will cast the curse and Emma will be the one who breaks it while warning him that a young boy will lead him to Baelfire but the boy will be his undoing. Rumplestiltskin plots to kill the boy before he has a chance; however, he is unaware the child will be his grandson. Additionally, the dark sorcerer follows the Seer's advice and ensures Emma and Regina will be born. 
Emma’s parents fell in love with each other when Snow White stole David's mother's ring and they saved each other's lives from trolls and black knights. However, Snow White was placed under the Sleeping Curse, and because of Rumplestiltskin, he helped David after he stored a true love potion inside of Maleficent's dragon body. Using his mother's ring, David gives Snow a true love kiss that awakens her. 
Snow, cursed to become infertile because of King George, later meets Ruth after she was fatally shot by an arrow. On the way to Lake Nostos, a lake with healing properties, Ruth shows Snow the pendant the former's mother gave her. She reveals that the pendant will predict the sex of a couples' firstborn child, h however when the pendant doesn't work on Snow, she is forced to reveal to her future mother-in-law that King George had poisoned her with an infertility potion. Ruth convinces her to give hope that the waters from Lake Nostos will cure them both. However, when the women, David and Lancelot arrive in the lake, it is all dried up. Despite this, Lancelot and David scout the dried-up lake to find remains of the water, only finding enough for one person. Ruth tells Snow that she should take it but the younger woman refuses. When given the water, Ruth pretends to drink it and when it does not work, requests to see David and Snow marry. Unknown to Snow, Lancelot slips the water into hers and David's chalice during their last-minute wedding for Ruth before passes. After giving her a proper burial, David shows the pendant to Snow. Before she can tell him she cannot have children, the pendant starts swinging when it hovers over Snow's hand. She realizes that their first child was going to be a girl, but does not tell David and confides to Lancelot they will have a daughter together. 
Sometime after their rebellion against Queen Regina and King George has been a success, Snow and Charming try to say their marriage vows; however, Regina storms their wedding, promising to cast a dangerous curse and destroy Snow and David's happiness if it will be the last thing she does. An angry Snow wants vengeance but because of Rumplestiltskin's protection spell, David believes Regina's threats were all they were. Knowing tales of a dangerous beast known as Medusa, a Gorgon from Greek mythology who could turn any living creature to Stone and wants to use her head on Regina. She tricks David into taking her to the summer palace, a place her father had built for her. However, when she sneaks off when David isn't looking, she is surprised to find her husband in her path. He decides to go with her when he sees Snow will not change her mind. However, it is impossible to slay Medusa because she is an immortal, with David turning to stone instead. Snow managed to trick Medusa into looking through the reflective shield Snow owned and the Gorgon herself is turned to stone with David restored. Asher realizes she wants to start a family, David and Snow consummate their marriage, with, unknown to them both, resulting in Snow White becoming pregnant. 
On their return to the palace, When Snow and David are forced into helping Maleficent, Ursula, and Cruella de Vil, they visit a magical tree that answers to its true bravest heroes. However, the tree rejects them because Snow is pregnant with their daughter and Emma has the potential to be a great hero like Snow and David, or the potential to be an evil witch-like Cruella, Ursula, and Maleficent. 
Since Snow is still upset, David allows his wife to see Rumplestiltskin, who tells them that Emma is destined to save them all. Just after that meeting, Snow makes a wish for Emma to have a happy ending. The next morning the kingdom is forced to break out into song. However, Regina removes the song from Snow's and David's hearts. However, Blue Fairy places the songs of her future friends and family into Emma's heart, Blue predicts she will need them one day during her battle against the Black Fairy. 
===Early Life===
====Birth====
Emma was born on October 23, 1983, to Snow White and Prince Charming. It was unfortunate to say that the curse hit just when Emma was born for unknown reasons. Snow realizes that the wardrobe takes one and that they have to give their daughter "her best chance." Snow is sad to see her baby go and starts crying. Charming holds his daughter in his arms while fighting off the Evil Queen's guards. He finally makes it to the Wardrobe and places Emma in it. She is later crying when Pinocchio finds her. He takes her to the diner and they are both placed in foster homes. Later, Pinocchio runs away, leaving Emma to grow up on her own. 
===Foster life===
Emma had a tough life growing up, and could not believe that her family abandoned her on the side of a road (or she thought so). They didn't even bother taking her to the hospital. Her first set of foster parents when she was three years old only wanted her for financial support. At age six years old, n the year 1989, Emma and some children from her group home visit a movie theater in Minnesota to watch the Disney film, The Sword in the Stone. 
Emma later spots a woman sitting down and steals the Apollo stealing the bar. She later sees Arthur pulling out the Sword in the stone. An usher tells her not to do it, and Emma thinks he is referring to the bar she stole. Merlin says he is talking about the sword and cautions her to not pull Excalibur from the stone, no matter how tempted she is to do it. Emma looks at the screen and the usher again, only to find that he is gone. Thinking it was part of her imagination, as an imaginative six-year-old, she brushes it off ("The Dark Swan"). 
Later on, a girl named Cecilia walks into her newly adopted parents and Emma sadly watches the car drive away ("No Place Like Home"). Later after many foster homes, Emma could not take it anymore, so she ran away to Hopkins, Minnesota where she befriended a young girl named Lily, the unknown daughter of Maleficent. The pair promises to be best friends no matter what. Emma later loses faith in Lily when she learns she was lying to her the entire time. She later walks away ignoring Lily. In adulthood, Emma would regret leaving her best friend. 
Emma, at fifteen, is later living in a foster home when her foster brother Kevin steals her camera. Emma is angered by this and wishes to leave. Ingrid stops her from leaving when she says Kevin is afraid of spiders, even the plastic ones. Emma says she'll stay awhile. After a while in a carnival, Emma shows magic once winning the crane. She believes that she is being sent away to another foster home but Ingrid says she is adopting her. One night, Emma wishes to have magical powers, but Ingrid goes too far and pulls her in front of a car, imploring for the girl to use her magic. She believes Ingrid to be crazy and leaves her for good ("Pilot", "The Stranger"). 
===Relationship with Neal===
At age seventeen, Emma is later stealing the care from the streets. She meets Neal Cassidy, the son of Rumplestiltskin. Unfortunately, Neal abandons her and unknowingly his son.
