Ponder these 3 pieces of evidence:
- Where are all the other fairies? Whenever we meet a "non-background" fairy, they seem to get written out or de-powered: Tink, Tiger Lily, Nova/Astrid (who I keep hoping will return to Grumpy/Dreamy).
- Why doesn't she help out more? She has great power, but seems oddly reticent to help out unless it suits
the plot her agenda.
- The most obvious cue is her costume. In OUAT cleavage is a clear signifier of evil. Compare Ingrid/The Snow Queen, Fiona/The Black Fairy, Zelena/The Wicked Witch and (of course) Regina/The Evil Queen - yep, it couldn't be more clear: The Blue Fairy is the secret mastermind behind all Storybrooke's troubles.
