Regina Mills/Synopsis

==Before her Birth==
Foolishly, Cora boasts to King Xavier that she can spin straw into gold. To prove it, the King locks Cora in a room full of straw and tells her to turn all of it into gold. If she succeeds, Cora wins the hand of his son Prince Henry, however, if she fails to do so, Cora will die the next morning. Rumpelstiltskin foresees one of the daughters of Cora casting the Dark Curse and goes to the young woman, where he offers to spin the straw into gold on exchange for her firstborn child (who was unknowingly Regina's Zelena at the time). However, Cora makes him alter the deal: she will give him her child if he teaches her how to use magic. Under Rumplestiltskin's direction, Cora succeeds in winning the hand of the prince. However, her true feelings are for the man who tutored her and Cora plots with Rumpelstiltskin to run away together and have a child of their own whole ripping the heart of the king. However, she ends up taking out her own to no longer feel her love for Rumplestiltskin and chooses power under the direction of Xavier's "advice": "love is weakness." The Dark One shouted that he would have any first child that Cora had but the woman reminds him that he altered the deal so that the baby must be between their union and that any child she has with somebody else won't be his.
