Regina Mills/Relationships

Cora was always a harsh mother to Regina, even when she was younger. However, Cora still loved Regina, seeing that she got Zelena to come and heal her. The first time she ever hurt Regina was taking away her daughters' memories of each other. Forgetting Zelena, Regina reverted back to her own self. Whenever Regina had been disobedient, Cora always punished Regina with magic and even kills Eva for Regina to become Queen. She grew a grudge on Cora and later banished her to Wonderland. Season two showed Cora and Regina struggling together to defeat the heroes and win Henry back.

After her mother's death, Regina swears to avenge it. During their final moments together, Cora died in Regina's arms, causing the Evil Queen to mourn her mother's death and grows outraged that Mary Margaret made her kill her own mother. Three years later in 2014, Regina went with her enemies that she now considered her family and enlists Cora to help Zelena forget about Hades. However, this doesn't end well at first until Cora shows them that the women knew each other as little girls. Zelena and Regina end up helping Cora crossing over to Olympus while smiling at her daughter's one last time.

### Prince Henry

Regina's father who she loved very much. Henry was usually the less strict parent and always took Regina's side. During her reign as the Evil Queen, Henry was the only person Regina cared about (other than her dead lover, Daniel). He tries to offer her the chance to abandon vengeance, but Regina's embitterment gets the best of her when she kills her father to enact the dark curse. Regina later adopts a son and names him Henry, out of respect for her father.

It is shown later on in season 2 and onwards that Regina later regretted killing her father. They are briefly reunited in the Underworld, where Regina refuses to leave the Underworld, but also doesn't want Henry to suffer. She takes the chance to take the boat back to the real world because of Emma Swan's influence. However, Regina refuses and goes to rescue Henry from Cora. However, she is too late as her mother decides to send Henry to the "worse place". He is saved when a white light opens and Henry passes over to Mount Olympus, but not before bidding his daughter and adopted grandson goodbye.

### Zelena

Zelena is Regina's older half-sister through their mother, Cora. At ten years old, Regina was saved by a girl at the age of twelve, revealing to be Zelena. The girls would often play together and tease each ohter like sisters. Regina was at first overjoyed in having Zelena as a sister. However, their mother Cora separates the girls by giving them memory potions that erase their minds of each other's existence.

Now grown women, both forgetting they met each other, Zelena instantly grew jealous of her younger sister and set out to destroy her. Regina doesn't believe Zelena that she is her sister until realizing she could break through her vaults. By season five, both sisters have truly forgiven each other after retaining their memories. Their good going relationship doesn' tlast long when Regina tries to warn Zelena that Hades never changed, but Zelena refuses to believe that. She then realizes that everything is true about Hades. Zelena then choses her love for Regina over Hades and kills the Lord of the Underworld once and for all.

### Emma Swan

    “*Regina. I know you're in there. I can see the light's on. I know this is all... Complicated, but you can have happiness. I know it doesn't seem like it, but you just have to fight. Okay, if you won't, I will. Henry brought me to Storybrooke to bring back the happy endings. My job's not done until I do that for everyone, including you.*”
