Memorable quote(s): "I'm not criticizing you; I'm helping you."
"I'll stop using magic when you start being an obedient daughter."
"Love is weakness, Regina. It feels real now, at the start it always does, but it's an illusion it fades and then you're left with nothing. But power--true power--endures, and you don't have to rely on anyone to get what you want. I've saved you, my love."

When Cora was younger she made deals to obtain her magical power. She uses that power to emasculate her husband and rule her daughter. Regina saves a young Snow White from a runaway horse and in gratitude King Leopold asks her to marry him. Regina doesn't want to because she's already in love but Cora accepts for her anyway. After Cora tricks young Snow into telling her of Regina's secret love and their plans to run away, she meets the couple in the stable and murders Daniel by ripping out and crushing his heart.
Cora uses her magic to keep Regina from running away from her impending marriage. Just before the wedding, Cora again tries to control her daughter with magic. This time Regina pushes back, shoving her mother through an enchanted looking glass into another world.
After the curse is broken, Cora poses as the leader of the survivors, Lancelot. She reveals herself and the fact that she is looking for a way to get to Storybrooke after she has tricked Snow into showing her where the wardrobe used to transport baby Emma is. Emma burns the wardrobe so Cora can't use it, but Cora saves some of the ashes.
