Random thought that won’t leave me alone. I think I might have mentioned it before but I forget.
I’m convinced that Tiger Lily’s story about being a fairy, and the stuff with the Black Fairy etc. was supposed to be Tinkerbell’s story. I mean Tink was the fairy on Neverland, but maybe the actress didn’t have enough time because of iZombie so they had to give that story arc to another character.
I mean think about it. Tink tried to help Regina ‘find love’ and return from the dark side when no other fairy would. Given what happened with Fiona, perhaps Tink would have been searching for proof that love could save even the darkest of souls, perhaps she felt guilty about what happened. Tink couldn’t fix the Black Fairy, but she could save the realms from the Evil Queen. It would also have explained why Blue was so hard on Tink for ‘interfering’ and stripped her of her wings and banished her to Neverland. It has echos then, from one incident to the next, and of course Blue banishing ‘problem fairies’ to dark realms where time runs differently.
Don’t get me wrong it was fine that it was Tiger Lily. It’s just from what I remember from Peter Pan, it didn’t really seem to fit her story. I could be wrong though, I’m not that familiar with Peter Pan.
