Zelena (Once Upon a Time)

Zelena is a female television character who features in Once Upon a Time.

Biography

Zelena was a female magical being born to Cora in the Enchanted Forest where she abandoned her child in the woods, where a passing cyclone whisks the babe to Oz. Whilst walking along the yellow brick road, a woodcutter and his wife witness a cyclone and a small baby fall through it. The woman wishes to raise the baby as their own but her husband was more skeptical after seeing the baby move a tree with just a wave of her hand. After much persistence, the wife manages to persuade her husband to take in the baby and they decide to call her Zelena.

Sometime during her childhood, Zelena's adoptive mother dies. During her time as a teenager, Zelena, who by now is discovering her powers, was about to be punished by her father for using her abilities; however, she is saved by Cora, and is brought to the Enchanted Forest to help save Regina (after she tampered with a wand that left her unconscious). Zelena then saved Regina and the two become bonded but when Cora tells them that they are sisters, Cora erased their memories of having met each other because her presence could alter Regina's future as the Queen. Zelena is sent back to Oz with her memories of meeting her mother and Regina wiped. (Episode: Sisters)

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Zelena had the form of a female human with white skin, red hair and green eyes. Her envy for her sister and Dorothy dramatically turned her skin green. After being cursed, she came to operate in a human identity where she went by the name of Kelly West.

When Zelena traveled to the Enchanted Forest for the first time, she fell in love with Rumplestiltskin, but this went unrequited.

Zelena was known for her rivalries with her half-sister Regina and Dorothy Gale. Zelena spent much of her life trying to create a Time Travel spell in order to take the place of her half sister.

Powers and abilities

She was similarly trained in the use of magic by Rumplestiltskin just like her mother and sister.
