Once Upon a Time season 4 introduces Maleficent’s daughter all grown up! Emma will reunite with her childhood friend played by Agnes Bruckner.
A few months ago, we reported that Agnes Bruckner was added to the Once Upon a Time roster for an unspecified reoccurring role. It is now confirmed that she will be playing the grown up version of Lily, Maleficent’s daughter.
Maleficent’s daughter has had a rough go of things since she was taken by Snow White and Prince Charming, had darkness bestowed upon her, and was tossed into a portal to the real world. Adopted as a baby in the real world, Emma ran into Lily in a food store where she attempted to shoplift a few items as a teen. The two hit it off and spent a day or two on the run, until Lily’s adoptive father showed up to take her home, leaving Emma to fall back into the foster system.

What can we hope to see from Lily and Emma in the present? Hopefully we will get some answers about Lily’s star birthmark, what she has been up to since she and Emma were separated all those years ago, and what type of magic is lurking deep within her. Since she was thrown into a world without magic to protect the Enchanted Forest from the darkness she possessed, what will happen if she enters Storybrooke and suddenly can access all that untapped potential?
Maybe Emma will get a second chance at gaining a friend rather than losing one. August was the first friend that Emma allowed to be close to her after Lily betrayed her trust, so how will the two get along when she returns to her life?
