Symbol on Regina’s hanay ng mga arko 

They look like branches or hands reaching for each other. Three sets to be specific. Then there are the three circles underneath. I thought that the hands/ branches in the middle looked like they could be from two different people, intertwined.

But then something else caught my eye. Look at the shape the intertwined hands make. A very specific shape. One we have also seen before.

I think that if I doubted that Lily and Regina are actually the same person, this convinced me that they are.

Also, Lily’s name. Lilith Page. Someone’s name on a page. Usually people’s names are changed in books to protect the privacy of the actual people.

Remember how we think that Emma’s flower is the same one as the one on her father’s kingdom’s crest?

I always believed that explanation. But at the same time I still wondered what flower it was. I still do. But the other thing that bothered me about the comparison is that in Emma’s tattoo, while the flower looks similar, the calyx, I think that’s what it is (the tiny petals/leaves) is missing. 

And I just realized that if you placed Emma’s tattoo over Lily’s birthmark, you’d get a version of the flower on Charming’s crest.
