“*My life was never just one story. It was many stories. To some, a villain. I hurt people... in ways I can never make up for. To others, I'm... a hero. They've seen my strength, my ability to do the hard things, even when I thought I couldn't. I want to start a new story. One where the Evil Queen doesn't get a part.*”

Once sweet and kind-hearted, Regina was in love with Daniel Colter and saved the life of Snow White. However, she became embittered when Snow (misguided) revealed that Regina intended to run away with her fiance, Daniel. Afterwards, Regina became jealous towards her stepdaughter and did everything in her power to make Snow's life miserable, becoming the Evil Queen, who cursed everyone with the Dark Curse. After the Curse was cast, she becomes the Mayor of Storybrooke, Henry's evil adoptive mother but through the love of her son, Regina reforms, becoming a hero.

In the new curse, Regina becomes Roni, an owner and bar tender of her own winery, Roni's. She was reawakened by Drizella and initially has to keep Henry and Ella (Jacinda) apart. However, she teams up with her granddaughter Lucy to get Henry to believe again.

She helped others whenever she could and even saved Snow White's life, but Regina soon grew cold after the death of Daniel and had started hating Snow White for the secret she told Cora, Regina's evil mother. Because of her mother's wicked ways, Regina hates magic and vows to never be as evil as her mom. Unfortunately, she does become cold like her mother. Despite the fact she is evil by the time Snow White is a bandit, Regina has a sense of dark humor like her mentor, Rumpelstiltskin does.

Initially, Regina is also very vengeful as she vows to destroy Snow White and her happiness for the death of Daniel, and even goes far for framing her for murder for everything she did to her. However, after she adopted Henry, Regina began to change, but she treated her son harshly, trying to force him to be normal. By the latter half of the series, Regina learns from her mistake and becomes is a good mother and is very protective of Henry, and later, her granddaughter, Lucy. Their relationship changes over time and Regina tries to change for her son's sake. Regina was redeemed by her son and reverts back into the woman she once was. She also loves her newfound family. She was remorseful for a lot of things she did as the Evil Queen.
