Between the fairy tale world and Storybrooke, Once Upon A Time is developing an ever-expanding list of characters. To help fans of the show keep track of the characters and their doubles, we’ve compiled the Once Upon A Time Comprehensive Season 1 Character Guide.

THE COMPREHENSIVE ONCE UPON A TIME SEASON 1 CHARACTER GUIDE

We’ve split the guide into three sections. In the first section we cover the characters represented in both the fairy tale and Storybrooke worlds. Then we get into those characters only featured in the fairy tale world, followed by a section for characters only in the ‘real world’ story.

Naturally, as the story continues more characters will enter and/or gain doubles. Fear not, this is an ongoing guide, we’ll update within a day of each new episode airing on ABC. This guide took a while to put together so please do not copy/paste to other sites, but feel free to link or bookmark this page if you find it useful.

You can drill down to a specific section using the following links (updated to the Season 1 finale).
