cruella appears a major antagonist in the fourth and fifth seasons of the tv series "once upon a time", where she is portrayed as an adult by victoria smurfit, and as a child by milli wilkinson, as a witch who possesses the power to control animals. a childhood sociopath, cruella poisoned her father and two stepfathers. her mother madeline (anna galvin) kept her locked inside the house to prevent her from harming others. as an adult, she met isaac (the author) (patrick fischler), who was posing as a regular journalist; through him, she learned that her world, a perpetual 1920s england, was one of many. smitten with her, the author gave her the power to control animals. cruella used the new power to have her mother's dalmatians kill her, and killed them and made their fur into a coat. in a struggle to prevent the author from writing another note about her, the vial of magic ink spills on her causing her blonde hair to turn into the iconic black and white. however, the pen had a remnant of ink in it, which the author used to write down a note that would, from there on, prevent cruella from taking another life. "cruella de vil can no longer take away the life of another." cruella kept this secret, as intimidation would still work for her needs.

however, for isaac, his future with cruella would later take a unique twist that will put his future in danger. when madeline pays a visit to see him, she tells him that cruella had lied to him about what actually happened to her husbands: cruella was a disturbed child psychopath who killed them, not madeline, and was trying to prevent her from killing others by locking her away. when madeline returns home, cruella was ready for her, and eventually kills her mother by controlling her dalmatians and commanding them to attack her. afterwards, isaac realized his quill was missing, so he pays a visit to see cruella and is stunned that she used him as a means to an end, and cruella used the skin from her mother's dogs as fur for her signature coat. the confrontation lead the two to fight over the ink, which is then spilled on cruella, transforming her into the infamous black & white infused-hair character. as cruella is about to kill him, issac uses his powers as the author to make it so that cruella can never kill anyone ever again by writing it down on a piece of paper. as he leaves, cruella tells him she's not done.
