Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West

Everyone deserves the chance to fly

Elphaba Thropp was a young girl rejected from birth due to her unnatural green skin, the result of an elixir her father used to drug her mother with. After unintentionally showing off the magical powers she was born with, Madame Morrible, Dean of Sorcery at Shiz University, takes her under her tutelage, and makes her share a room with Glinda Upland. Elphaba later travels to the Emerald City after being invited by the Wizard, and finds out that she was simply being used by Morrible to utilize the Grimmerie’s power and further subjugate the Animals of Oz.
