Isla

Isla is a character on the ABC series Once Upon a Time. She first appears in "Flower Child".

Before the First Curse
Isla is a girl who despises magic. One day, while Seraphina, Isla and their friends are trying on dresses, Gothel, a tree nymph, causes a flower on one of the dresses to bloom. When they re-enter the room, Isla and Seraphina insist that they are fine with her having magic and invite her to a ball tonight; she agrees to come and teach them magic.

That evening, Isla takes Seraphina, Gothel and the others to an abandoned greenhouse, as Seraphina worries about the consequences of what will happen if Gothel uses her magic in public. When Gothel magically makes a flower grow, Isla betrays her by smashing the flower and having the others hold Gothel as she dumps mud on her. After taunting Gothel, Isla leaves with the others, though Seraphina sadly looks at Gothel, reminded of herself, before following the others.

After finding out Isla and other humans killed all of the tree nymphs except her, Gothel returns to the ball to kill Isla. Not taking Gothel seriously, Isla attempts to have two guards capture her, only for her to impale them with roots. As Isla and Seraphina back away from Gothel in fear, the guests attempt to flee, only for Gothel to lock the door with roots. She then uses them to tie Isla up and kills her.
