MARY POPPINS WAS THE GREATEST NANNY IN SO MANY REALMS. Everyone wanted the magical woman's services, offering her mountains of money so that she would accept. But Mary Poppins could never accept. She went to families who really needed her, not those who wanted her. Mary helped as many families as she could with a flick of her parrot umbrella and a tip of her crimson hat.

She was happy helping people all over the realms; like the Banks family in the Victorian realm and King Leopold in the Enchanted Forest. Mary Poppins was beloved everywhere she went. She helped everyone in her path and spread joy with just a smile. Because that was who Mary Poppins was.

Every day was a new experience, a new joy to live. Mary Poppins got the best out of her life and helped others get the best out of theirs. And she did it, over and over again, and she loved it. But things changed when the purple cloud rolled over the hills and snatched them from their home. Then, Mary Poppins was gone.

ELIZA BANKS WAS THE GREATEST NANNY IN THE WHOLE OF STORYBROOKE. And, of course, her services were employed by the Mayor herself. As the woman who ran the town, Regina Mills was often very busy so, of course, she wanted to make sure that her son was well cared for. And Eliza Banks was the best in the business. Even if Henry Mills could be a bit much to handle sometimes. 

Eliza loved her job more than anything. Which is why when Henry crept away from her one day, Regina Mills knew she wouldn't have just let it happen. And of all the things, Henry Mills was looking for his birth mother. A blonde bailbondswoman by the name of Emma Swan. It started to push Regina over the edge, Eliza could see it happening.

Life in Storybrooke was getting complicated, things were changing. But Eliza Banks could do nothing to stop it but care for Henry Mills and the other children in town. Because that was her job. It was her calling. And despite the changes, the conflict, Eliza found herself being drawn closer to the Mayor. For Eliza could see the best in people, including Regina Mills. And Regina was starting to feel the same.

Eliza Banks was practically perfect and no one knew that better than the Mayor herself.

(Feel free to edit the summary to your liking)

- Regina needs a girlfriend, I will die on this hill.

- Regina and Mary briefly met in the Enchanted Forest because Mary was Snow's nanny after Queen Ava died but she left when Leopold remarried. Regina also knew Mary by reputation.

-  So, Eliza Banks (her storybrooke alias for obvious reasons) is Henry's nanny. Although she does look after other children, Henry is the one she cares for the most. So, she's closer with him. 

- Mary cares for Henry, absolutely. As a result, she starts to get closer to Regina and feelings grow. Defo don't get together until after s1.

- When the curse breaks, Mary is the only one who doesn't turn away from Regina. She always saw Regina's better side as it was with Henry. And Mary sticking by her means a hell of a lot. That's their thing, complete devotion and loyalty. 

- So, with Robin. Mary knew him as she looked after Roland for a little while. So, I think Robin should just be best friends with Regina and Mary.

- Regina and Mary, power couple with their magic. Mary likes to use her magic to help people, mainly children, but her powers can be utilised for combat.

- Mary always believes Regina when people accuse her of stuff. We love girlfriends who stick together. 

- Watch them randomly get married in Camelot, wake up with no memories and rings. Then redo their wedding properly after the mess is sorted. 

- If you do s7, you can decide her alias and her story for that. Perhaps Roni's ex-wife, they married when they were young and carefree but Mary Poppins in this curse became a high-powered lawyer or something completely opposite to Roni.
