Minor Character Bios 

Don't worry, new characters are not being ignored. The bios of newbies are not here before they are seen in an episode for two reasons:

1. This is in keeping with our spoiler policy. Anything not seen yet aired is considered a spoiler, and should be posted only in spoiler areas or with a spoiler tag. You can find chat threads for up-coming characters in OUAT SPOILER CHAT.

2. If we haven't had their story in an episode, then there's no information, other than actor information, to put into the bio.

We will try to get new character bios up within a couple of days,...
