I think Anita is such an interesting character, while you sympathize with her for everything she went through because it kinda hints she was the witch who got betrayed especially with the sneak peeks of the witch who was betrayed and how she talks about the first king as if she knew him personally. It’s super hard to hate her but at the same time, like someone said in the comments genocide to make things right is not the answer. It’s also the fact that we quite literally know what she’s planning, we saw what she did and how she ruined Regina’s family, friends but also thousands of innocent lives who just so happened to live in the empire. So while I ideally would love for Regina to become empress and correct the wrongdoings of not only her father, but to rectify the story or Witches, I feel like there is no outcome where Regina will simply let Anita live. She is way to dangerous and Regina knows it, honestly she’s a bit underpowered since we’re unaware what Anita has up her sleeve but that’s what makes me excited! I’m so excited to see how Regina and Anita battle each other, because in terms of emotions they’re on equal playing grounds. Anita wants revenge for the extinction of innocent women who just possessed magic due to betrayal. While Regina wants revenge due to betrayal and the slaughter of more innocent people, her family and friends. (I know Anita probably had family and friends but we know very little so i’m paraphrasing)
