I think that it depends on what side you take in the destiny conflict.

If you are a Rebel, it is Apple and Milton Grimm.

But on the other hand, it could be the Evil Queen.

On the other, other hand, there is not a true antagonist. Duchess is kind of like a minor antagonist. And in my opinion, Apple is not the antagonist. This could be because I'm a Royal myself, but of you read the book series, you will find out that Apple has a true backstory that supports the Royal cause. I'll fill in those of you who did not read the books:

When Apple was six, she fell down a well. It was really scary, and she almost didn't survive. When she was by the fire, covered in fifteen blankets with bunnies on her, legs, neck, and head, she decided that only in her story she would be safe. In her story, she was guaranteed a safe happily ever after.

And that is what I think.
