"I'm not sure. Even if the Jabberwocky is native to Wonderland, all of that magic went into holding it prisoner -- and it being at odds with Wonderland in the first place seems to be evidence enough that their power comes from different sources." Magic theory had never really been her strongpoint, and even now, after so many years in Wonderland and all that had happened beforehand in Storybrooke, she still sought for ways to apply real-world logic to situations that just didn't fit inside that box. It never went well.

"It's not like we can look it up in a book and get all of the facts down. Wonderland biology has never made sense to me -- the natives, the mirrors, and anything else. I've never been sure how real any of them are, if they're magic or if they were born or some of them brought here from somewhere else -- like Alice."
