The girl who was consumed by her pain.

I see Regina as a true victim, the abused became the abuser and her subsequent villainy further victimizes her, which I think is worse than death. Probably further affected by having gained magic, aside from Snow, she’s lashing out at everything and everyone and in the process of destroying others, she’s destroying herself, too. It’s like her mother and her influence never left her. Cora may not be around physically but everything Regina does is what she had been shown to do and it is killing her slowly. Her power and her evil scheming are clouding the vision of her old self more and more. And that’s why I feel sorry for the Evil Queen, no matter how heinous her actions have become. Unlike her mother, Regina is actually suffering each time she does something horrible and yet she will go for it, even if, ultimately,it is not making her happy - but she won’t see that. People want to see her getting her comeuppance? Well she’s living it. That is pretty damn tragic for all involved imo.
