Character
Name: Regina Mills
Series: Once Upon a Time
Timeline:
Canon Resource Links: The series wikipedia article and Her own wiki article
Personality: Once upon a time, Regina was a good, kind woman who believed in true love and happiness, who was content in her life and didn't seek anything more- but that all fell apart when Snow White let slip Regina's secret love to her mother and Regina's mother killed him. It set Regina on a dark path, where she became intent on ruining Snow White's happy ending so that she could finally have her own.
Regina became angry, bitter and murderous and as Queen, she ruled with an iron fist, striking fear in the hearts of everyone. To her, being feared was powerful. If she couldn't gain people's loyalty naturally, then she would get it other ways. But more than that, the darkness really went deep. It wasn't rare for her to make appearances in her kingdom and torment her subjects, often times ending with a death or two. She would not tolerate any form of disrespect and anyone associated with Snow White would pay the ultimate price.
For the longest time after her love's death, the only person Regina cared for and opened up to was her father, and he's the only one in her family that she truly trusts; obviously she has a low opinion of her mother after what happened, resenting her more than anything for what happened. She also has a poor relationship with her sister, barely able to stand being in the same room with her for more than a few minutes given everything she's been put through. To everyone else- at least those capable of being around her without dying- she's cold, distant, often condescending and abrasive. She wouldn't hesitate to manipulate and them to get what she wanted, often turning around and stabbing them in the back in the end. For those she couldn't manipulate, she would literally rip their hearts from their chests and use it to control them that way.
Regina is also intelligent and cunning. She knows how to play and she plays dirty. She doesn't hesitate to go into a fight, confident in her own abilities and unafraid of getting her hands dirty when she has to, having gone toe-to-toe with powerful sorceresses and other magical beings without second thought. As mentioned, she isn't afraid of cheating- she'll use people's weaknesses against them without a second thought if it means getting what she wants.
At least, that's how she is in the beginning. Over the course of the series, Regina goes through a lot of changes. Her life becomes a battle between her evil tendencies and trying to be the hero that she wants to be and that her son believes she can be. She realizes that she doesn't have to be evil to get her happy ending. It's not an easy battle for her, though. Regina often struggles with doing the right thing. She's got a quick temper and it's easy for her to fall back into old habits, but she's strong-willed and believes that she's capable of putting her past behind her. She's far from an optimist when it comes to getting her happy ending, though. As much as she wants it, she has a hard time believing that it's even possible for someone like her to be happy. After so many setbacks, it's easy for her to feel like she's destined to be a villain forever and that she won't ever find true love. These feelings are further cemented when people assume the worst of her and still view her as the Evil Queen instead of who she is now, given how hard she's working to distance herself from that person.
Henry is her biggest motivation when it comes to changing her ways. He's the one that believes in her the most and the one that keeps her on the right track, he's the one who made her want to be a better person In the first place. Without him, Regina would never have changed. She is fiercely protective of Henry and would do anything within her power to keep him safe. Henry is often the cause of many arguments between Regina and Emma, usually brought on by jealousy (which Regina would obviously never admit to). Regina's biggest fear is losing Henry, because for the longest time, Henry was the only good thing in Regina's life. Then along came Robin Hood, who's helped Regina realize that she's capable of loving again. Regina wants to believe that the two of them can be happy together and she's willing to fight for him, despite all of the obstacles that have kept them apart. At times her faith is tested, but her determination keeps her going.
On the subject of Emma and the "heroes" in general, Regina has a stable, though occasionally strained, relationship with all of them. She's learned to tolerate them, not only for Henry's sake but because in their own way, they make her life better. Regina doesn't always agree with the way that they handle things and she's usually the realist of the group. She's a good balance to their optimism and heroics, even if she tends to opt towards the more dangerous paths, such as when she pretended to be evil again in order to get information from the other villains. While they may not always get along, Regina has found a little niche with them and has come to care for them; there isn't much she wouldn't do for them- just the same as they would now do for her. Emma in particular is someone who's become one of Regina's best friends and someone she cares deeply for. The two of them still have their disagreements, but- usually in regards to Henry, or how to handle certain situations, but Regina knows they both have Henry's wellbeing at heart and she no longer perceives Emma as the threat she once did.
Regardless of these changes that Regina's gone through, she still has some issues to work through. Regina still isn't the easiest person to get along with, she's still distant and comes off as emotionally detached. She also still has the habit of being a fairly antagonistic person, even often getting into arguments and sass-offs with her allies. She may consider herself one of the good guys now, but Regina still has quite the bite to her if you push her buttons. Despite how much she's changed, there are still people who view her as the evil queen and incapable of changing and that bother angers her and makes her doubt herself, even if she won't admit it. There's always that little struggle to remain on the right path, but overall she's on the right track to get where she wants to be.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+Strong willed
+Brave
+Intelligent- she can usually work out a plan to get herself out of any situation she finds herself in.
+Adaptable- She's been to Neverland, she's been to Wonderland, she's been to our land and she's survived all of them. She knows how to adapt to places.
+Can sword fight
+ / -Manipulative when she needs to be, not always a good thing depending on the circumstances
Overall Regina's strengths are in the fact that she's a determined individual, when she's set on something it takes a lot to stop her. If you get in her way, then you can bet she won't hesitate to defend herself and she's willing to face whatever challenge she has to. She's seen a lot in her lifetime and it takes a lot to shake her and even more to actually scare her.
-Abrasive
-Pessimistic
- Quick temper
-Violent, if pushed too far
-Though she's adaptable, Regina is rather used to relying on magic to solve her problems, so having it will be an inconvenience to her
Regina's faults are in her recklessness and her inability to get close to people and that stems from the fear of losing them. Her biggest fear was always losing Henry, having lost so much already. There's a part of her that needs someone to love her, whether it be true love or familial love. Regina, overall, doesn't want to be alone and sometimes she sabotages herself without even meaning to.

Samples
First Person Sample:
[When the feed comes on, Regina can be seen staring into it, lips pursed and eyebrows furrowed lightly. She takes in a long breath before speaking, just to get her thoughts in order.]
It's obvious that I'm not the only one dragged here from another world, so I'm not going to bother asking anyone how I'm supposed to get home. If anyone knew the answer to that, I assume none of us would be here.
[A light roll of her eyes, before she straightens herself up a little more.]
What I do want to know is if this world has any magic. Any at all? God knows I would settle for even some pixie dust at this point. And who's in charge here? There has to be somebody that I can talk to, I don't care how pointless it is.
[Because if there's one thing that Regina Mills is, it's stubborn. Obviously no one else has managed to convince the powers that be to send them home, but she's damn sure going to try anyway.
Regina is about to turn off video when something else comes to mind.]
Oh, and one more thing. How do I work these balls? This… horse, if you can even call it that, is taking up too much space. I want to be rid of it for now. [She points the camera at Ponyta, before shifting it back to herself so she can give a pointed look before turning off the feed.]
Third Person Sample:
"Give me a room."
Regina's voice was sharp, perhaps more than she had intended as she stepped up to the counter at the inn she had managed to find and threw some money onto it. When she saw the look she received from the receptionist, Regina narrowed her eyes slightly. "Please," she added, clearly put out at being forced to use manners when she was already so frazzled.
The receptionist eyed her critically before glancing over her shoulder. "We prefer Pokémon to be put in their balls," she said, while grabbing a key.
"What? You mean this horse from hell that's following me?" Regina glanced at it irritably. "What am I supposed to do with it?"
After a few more back and forth exchanges, Regina finally found herself in a small room in the inn, where she sat on the edge of the bed. Much to her annoyance, her Pokémon ended up following her. "Now what?" she asked to no one in particular, staring around the room with a growing sense of helplessness. Once again she was in a world without magic, with no way of getting home or contacting anyone. She was alone. Again.
It would be easy to give up. Admit defeat. But Regina wouldn't do that, not yet. Did she miss everyone? Was she afraid that by some chance she would never see them again? Yes. But she wasn't going to just give up and fall into a hopeless rut. Not yet. Not when she had to get home so that she could help Emma. They needed her, who else knew how to fight a darkness light… well, the Dark One? The thought it made her both angry and a little scared, which only fueled her resolve to find a way to make it home.
"I don't suppose you know how I can get home?" she asked, staring at the flaming horse with an unimpressed look. It let out a snort in response. "I'm reduced to talking to a horse. Fantastic." It was going to be a long night.
