Rumplestiltskin, Quasimodo, Robin Hood(for all the "historical evidence" there is, he may as well be a fable), Spring-Heeled Jack and Jenny Greenteeth are all good candidates.
I'd really like to see Rose Red from the comics make an appearance.
well crane, i like to see my girl Dorothy make her debut plus the headless horseman to cut your doucheass from office
Hmm, Bufkin.. watch your mouth or i'll send you to the farm!
The gingerbread man. Let alone Woody and Collin picking at Bigby's pass the would be another to moan at him.
Come on, no Boy Blue, guys?
Also, Rose Red, Jack (this is a prequel, so he's still around), Prince Charming, Pinocchio, Flycatcher. I'm happy that we'll get to see Bluebeard in a couple of episodes.
Boy Blue is my favorite! I really hope he and Flycatcher show up.
Most of the characters mentioned here make an appaereance in the comic (and for some of them, it's impossible to appear in the game for that very reason). Off the top of my head, I can't think of any fable we haven't seen an incarnation of somewhere, except maybe Peter Pan, but I heard he's copyrighted, which is the reason he didn't appear in the comics.
Actually, scratch that, you know who I really want to see? The Boogeyman.
I wanted to see Bufkin get the foresworn knight drunk again
Ah spring-heeled jack. Where are you referencing him from? I think I know.
It is still possible that they appear in a dream or in another book of fables.
I really want to see Cinderella, she's my favourite Fable by far.
I also think it would be nice to see some more of the obscure Fables, like Faith ... although any Fable that is previously unknown has a high chance of meeting an untimely demise
I highly doubt we'll see Gepetto around, given when this game falls in the Fables timeline.
Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, the Piper
soon..very sooon.... hicup
I'd love to see Cinderella, she's one of my absolute favourites.
How about a couple from Asian folklore?
Oni: Oni () are a kind of yokai from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. They are popular characters in Japanese art, literature and theatre.[1]
Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic ogre-like creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads.[2] They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes.[3] Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.[4][5]
They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs, called kanab (?). This image leads to the expression "oni with an iron club" ( oni-ni-kanab?), that is, to be invincible or undefeatable. It can also be used in the sense of "strong beyond strong", or having one's natural quality enhanced or supplemented by the use of some tool.

Bungisngis: A giant cyclops in Philippine folklore. This giant, purported to dwell in Meluz, Orion, Bataan, is described as is always laughing.[1] The literal meaning of the name Bungingis is derived from the Tagalog word ngisi which means "to giggle".[2]
Having a humanoid shape, it has large teeth which are always showing, and its upper lip covers its face when it is thrown back. Two long tusks project from the side of its mouth. The cyclops only eye, is found in the middle of its forehead,[1] but this is compensated by its strong sense of hearing. It has also displays unusual strength. In the Filipino tale "The Three Friends - The Monkey, The Dog and The Carabao, The giant is able to lift the carabao and throw it with such force that it ends knee-deep in the ground.[3] However, despite its strength, the bungisngis is easily outwitted and quickly panics.[4][5] In the tale of the Three Friends, Monkey's tricks led him to his death.

I'd like to see the Princess and the Pea, I'd like to see a Selkie, the Little Matchbox Girl (Tinderbox Girl), and something to reference the Tin Soldier and the Ballerina girlfriend.
Does anybody know if Frau Totenkinder lived in Fabletown at that time?
Well, I absolutely would want to see Cinderella -- for so many reasons. I imagine she would most likely be pre-Tourist trained though, so I imagine a very bitter character that Cinderella pretends to portray so often in the comics.
Also, I think Hercules would be cool, or Minos (the Minotaur) - I love Greek legends and the Fables series is so full of them.
An appearance of one of the Great Winds might be cool, even if it's not the North Wind.
And from her appearance in the Fairest series, i think maybe Rapunzel could be really cool. Like a fight between her and Totenkinder as a side storyline could be super awesome.
I accidentally double-posted, sorry
frau totenkinder and mowgli
Frau Totenkinder would most likely have been there at the time. In the story The Last Castle they explain that the last large group of Fables arrived in our world in the early 19th century through the only remaining portal in the Homelands that hadn't been blocked or destroyed by the Adversary. They closed the gate after they got through.
There were comings and goings later in the series, but they occur after the time that this story is supposed to take place. I suppose Totenkinder could have been somewhere else in the world, but it seems more likely that she would have been in Fabletown. I still have a hunch that we'll see her before the game is over.
Thank you for the answer ^^
I actually don't know anything about Jack aside from what I've read on wikipedia. I literally just went through a list of fairy-tales/stories and picked out the ones I'd like to see make a cameo.
I don't mean to burst your bubble, (no pun intended) but I think chances of the Little Mermaid being in Fabletown are low, because she dies at the end of the orignial fable. She turns into sea foam because of her broken heart. It's also said that to her, walking on land was painful and akin to have knives and needles stabbed in her soles.
The Wolf Among Us seems to stick very closely to the original stories, but who knows. If they can find a way I'd like to see her.
Also The Piper YES
Note: I think it was mentioned when Bigby was looking at the Fables book that Red Riding Hood "didn't make it out". I assume he meant the Homelands. Shame really, I'd like to have seen her.
Odysseus would be so cool. Baba Yaga, for sure, and I would be overjoyed to see the characters from one of my personal favorites The Snow Queen, like the white raven, Kai, Gerda and of course the Snow Queen herself.
Bluebeard was supposed to die at the end of his fable but he's still kicking it. They do adaptations wherever they want.
I wonder if the Pied Piper has anything to do with the murders?!
True, but he retained his body, which I guess is could actually be easily worked around,huh? I'm not sure what they'll do since she doesn't like walking around (and the setting is NY....the Farm?
) and may not have any physical form. But I'm not crossing her off the list! Just pondering.
haha this is brilliant
Did you people see newest screens from the second episode? I just can't wait to play the game, cause there appears just the person who I wanted the most
I'm excited too! Never a dull moment with Jack around.
Pinocchio, Boy Blue, and Ambrose
Rose red, jack(Confirmed yay) and a confirmation on whether the ginger is the boy who cried wolf or not
Yes please. With Jack showing up, maybe her appearance could be relevant.
I want to see Prince Charming, Flycatcher and Boy Blue!
What about Shrek?
Should have tagged the spoiler for the comics, which I am currently reading. Also, Violet Zephtyr, Flycatcher was mentioned in the beginning of Faith when Bigby interacts with something in the Woodlands, though I can't recall what. So, his appearance isn't too unlikely!
