Drizella could be shown as a sympathetic character if we explore her backstory. Maybe she was always in the shadow of her sister and mother, and they constantly put her down. This could lead to her developing a tough exterior to hide her insecurities. For example, her snobbish behavior could be a defense mechanism.
Another way is to give her a goal that the readers can root for. For instance, if she wants to break free from the cycle of envy and bitterness in her family. She could be trying to find her own identity outside of the expectations placed on her. As she struggles to achieve this, readers would start to feel sympathy for her journey and the obstacles she has to overcome.
Drizella's story in Once Upon a Time is part of the elaborate narrative that combines various fairy tale elements. She has her own arcs and interactions that contribute to the overall plot.
A character like Hook could be an interesting choice. He has his own complex past and a bit of a rogue nature. Pairing him with Drizella could lead to some interesting power plays and character development. They could either become allies in some devious scheme or Hook could end up being the one to make Drizella see the error of her ways.
Their relationship could start off rocky. Maybe Drizella is initially suspicious of Henry because of his ties to the heroes in the Once Upon a Time world. But as they are forced to work together on a task, they start to see each other's good sides. Henry might see Drizella's vulnerability beneath her tough exterior, and Drizella could come to respect Henry's intelligence and determination.
One idea could be exploring Drizella's backstory before she became so bitter. Maybe she had a true love in her youth that was torn away from her, which led to her descent into jealousy and meanness.
One possible plotline could be Drizella's journey to find true love. Maybe she starts off as a rather unlikable character, but through a series of events, she meets someone who sees the good in her. They go on adventures together, and Drizella slowly changes for the better, learning about kindness and self - sacrifice.
A possible plot could be that Drizella is cursed, and Henry, being the son of Snow White and Prince Charming, has a unique connection to the magic that can break the curse. They embark on a quest to find the ingredients for a potion to break the curse. Along the way, they meet old characters from the Once Upon a Time universe who either help or hinder them. They also have to deal with their own personal issues. Drizella has to confront her past and her insecurities, while Henry has to prove himself as a hero without relying too much on his family's legacy.
One way is through the use of magic. A dominant character could use magic to control or influence a submissive one. For example, the Evil Queen might use her magic to put a character in a situation where they have to follow her commands, creating a 'dom sub' dynamic. Another way could be in terms of leadership. A king or queen in the 'Once Upon a Time' world could be the dominant figure, with their subjects being submissive. In fanfiction, this can be explored in more detail, showing how the power of leadership can create such relationships.
