Curse of the Ice Queen In the land of eternal winter, a curse has befallen the kingdom, casting a cold darkness over the once prosperous land. This curse, known as the Curse of the Ice Queen, was placed upon the land by a powerful sorceress who sought revenge for a perceived wrong. Legend tells of a time when the Ice Queen was a beloved ruler, known for her beauty and kindness. But as her power grew, so too did her arrogance. She believed that her rule was unchallenged and that everyone should bow down to her. However, her subjects grew tired of her tyranny and a rebellion was sparked.
The primary purpose of the Snow Queen at this point was to make Elsa feel isolated, so that she will be easier to manipulate for her scheme/sisterhood development. All the townsfolk know someone is in there town who has already frozen and attacked Storybrooke, possibly through a lack of control of their powers. Only a few who witnesses Elsa being unable to take the ice wall down know that someone else must live in the town with similar powers. Mary Margaret "helpfully" tells the townsfolk at her meeting about Elsa, stating she is not a danger, and then in true dramatic fashion Marian freezes. Ultimately, this should increase the distrust the townsfolk will have of Elsa. Marian being the target was just opportunity as she happened to stop by the ice cream shop the day after Elsa showed up; the ultimate goal did not require any specific individual, just that someone was frozen and the town knew about it.

Why did the snow queen attack Marian/Zelena Specifically?
Was there any reason behind Marian/Zelena being frozen during the Snow Queen's reign? Did she know that she was Zelena? Was she afraid of her powers? Why did she not reveal to the rest that it was her? On the other hand, why wasn't the all powerful Zelena able to break away from the freezing curse? Or at-least somehow slow it down to make it look less powerful but without revealing that she has magical powers? EDIT after other people pointed out in the comments (and I agree) is that Marian being Zelena was a plot twist they came up with later on. Let's say that the Snow Queen attacked Marian and not Zelena. What is the reasoning behind this? What reason could she possibly have to attack Marian?
- once-upon-a-time
I actually wonder if the writers knew she was Zelina during the first half of the season. when Regina takes out Marion's heart in 4x03 it's not darkened . at all . which Zelina's should be, right?

Dec 10, 2015 at 3:05Determined to quell the rebellion, the Ice Queen struck a deal with a powerful sorceress who lived in the mountains. In exchange for her loyalty, the sorceress promised to bestow upon the Ice Queen a curse that would ensure her reign went unchallenged. The curse would freeze not only the land but also the hearts of its people, rendering them unable to resist her rule. As the curse took hold, the kingdom fell into an eternal winter. The beautiful landscapes were now covered in ice and snow, and the once vibrant cities became ghost towns. The people, once full of life and joy, became cold and distant, their hearts frozen by the curse. Some say that the key to breaking the curse lies in the heart of the Ice Queen herself. If her heart were to thaw and she were to experience true remorse for her actions, the curse would be lifted and the land could be restored to its former glory. But breaking the Curse of the Ice Queen is no easy task. The sorceress who placed the curse upon the land is a formidable foe, with her powers only growing stronger with each passing day. Those who have dared to face her have never returned, their bodies frozen in eternal slumber. Yet hope remains. There are whispers of a hero who will rise to challenge the Ice Queen and break the curse. A hero who will journey through treacherous lands and face unimaginable dangers to save the kingdom from its icy prison. Only time will tell if the Curse of the Ice Queen can truly be broken. Until then, the land remains trapped in a winter's embrace, longing for the day when warmth and life will return..
