When Geppetto was a boy, his loving parents were turned into puppets by a potion from Rumplestiltskin and given to them by Jiminy's dishonest parents. The Blue Fairy turns Jiminy into a cricket so he can be the now orphaned Geppetto's companion. Geppetto grows up a good person and marries, but he and his wife are never able to have children. To fill this void in their life, Geppetto carves a boy puppet from wood which the Blue Fairy eventually turns into a real boy, Pinocchio. After the Evil Queen vows to curse FTL, Geppetto is asked to build a wardrobe from an enchanted tree in order to save Snow White and her unborn baby, Emma. He agrees only on the condition that Pinocchio can the other of the two people the wardrobe will be capable of saving from the curse. The Blue Fairy acquiesces and tells the War Council the wardrobe can only save one. When Emma is born early, the Blue Fairy argues with Geppetto saying Snow must go with her baby, but Geppetto is adamant. He sends Pinocchio through just minutes before the Dark Curse.
