Oh hello there,who might you be? You want to know my story? Ok then I will tell it to you but just so you know this will be the untold story.
My name is Elphaba Thropp and I was born well...I think you can tell that part by just looking at me really...green! Any way my parents had the perfect life or so it would have seemed, but my father was away a lot because he was the mayor of Munchkin Land and that meant he wasn't around my mother much.
My mother met this other handsome and quite strange man who was just passing through and they fell in love so to speak. Everytime they made love he would give her a green potion to drink in hopes that it would make her happy and it seemed for a time that it was working or so I'm told any way.
Now you see that man was gone one day and when it was time for my mother to give birth she did so with her husband by her side but when I was born green he wanted nothing to do with me,naturally I mean come on who would right? Any way my mother was always kind to me though I'm not sure how much was out of pitty.
When my mother was pregnent again with my sister Nessarose she ate plants that in the long run caused my sister to be born wrong and because of that she couldn't walk and spent all her life in a wheelchair after that.
My mother and father both never let me forget that it was because of me that happened,because my mother wanted to make sure the child is born 'normal' this time.
I was the one to take care of my sister as a big sister should and I was fine with it really,though one day when I got angry strange things happened and that gave them more cause to hate me even though I didn't understand it back then.
I vowed to never use it again after almost hurting those I care for with it and so it was for many years until both my sister and I got accepted to school in Oz.
Back then I was an akward child with my hair in a braid and glasses. I was a very bright student but no one wanted to be my friend on account of the fact that I was well...green.
Our teacher was a goat who could talk and walk on two legs and a sweet one at that and he tought us all very important things. One time when I got angry I used my magic again and it was seen by another teacher who later became the headmistress by the name of Madam Morrible who took me on and tought me how to control my magic.
I first met Galinda as she was called at that time when I first got to school and we were put as roommates despite the fact that neither of us wanted it because she was a snob and I was well...a sweet person for the most part,shy but sweet or at least I tried to be any way.
We really couldn't stand each other for a long time and then one day Madam Morrible told me that I was to meet the wizard and that became the most wonderful day of my life,or so I thought at the time any way.
In the years that I waited for the wizard to meet me I almost got run over by Fiyero's carriage but he didn't care at the time because he was a snob like Galinda and so they both naturally fell in love.
There was a party and Galinda gave me a black hat saying it suited me and my sister got asked out by Boq,who only did so because Galinda asked him to so that he leavs her and Fiyero alone.
At that party is where things changed between myself and Glinda because she was told that I asked her to be added to the magic class with me even though Madam Morrible wasn't very happy about that.
Everyone made fun of me and my hat and so Galinda stepped in and danced with me which caused us to get closer,something I never thought to be possible really.
After the party I went to our room and Galinda came as well and we bonded,that is where I told her that it is my fault my sister is the way she is and Galinda told me simply that it's not true and Galinda herself told me that she likes Fiyero and intends to marry him.
Galinda then took it upon herself to make me look more beautiful and when it was done I felt changed both inside and out in a good way really.
One day at lunch my teacher the goat told me that animals in Oz who used to be smart are slowly becoming stupid and lost the ability to talk and I told him that the wizard will no doubt fix that when I see him and at the time I actually beleived that....I was such a fool.
Now I know what you are thinking, isn't the green witch the evil one in this story? Well you will get your answer soon enough because nothing is ever as it seems.
Back to my story,where was I? Oh yes, any way over time Galinda and I became very good friends...one might say even best friends and we were both glad about that.
One day in class our goat teacher was fired and dragged out of there replaced by a horrid man who put a lion cub in a cage and I got so angry that my powers acted up again and made very strong winds and the only one it didn't work on was Fiyero who in turn helped me get the lion out of the cage and free him,at that moment we both secretly fell in love but then Galinda showed up and said that her name was now Glinda because the goat teacher would call her that and after that Fiyero left with her leaving me upset and wishing things were different.
Then after a while we all grew up and that is when the wizard asked me to meet him in Oz and I naturally asked Glinda to join me...finally my dreams were coming true and I was in a place I belonged.
Galinda and I were in shock at the beauty of the city and everything there was to do in the city and then it was time to finally meet the wizard.
He showed himself as a big robotic face with a booming voice, though I knew it wasn't really him and so when everyone exept for Madam Morrible,Glinda and I were gone he showed his true self an old man.
I told him about the situation with the animals and he said he would take care of it,he asked me to read from a spell book and I did so thinking it would help but instead it gave monkies he had in a cage wings.
When the wizard liked what I had done I relized he wasn't at all what I had hoped for and instead was a coward and a lier. That is when I made a decision to defy him and his rule and naturally Madam Morrible took it on herself to call me a lier and the wicked Witch and that is how I got that title really.
Glinda came with me and we hid in the top of the castle and that is where I made my decision to learn to fly and help the animals of Oz. I did a spell in the old book and flew out of there leaving Glinda behind because she wanted me to, which made me sad but I also understood.
I spent all that time in the west of Oz helping those poor animals and became a fugitive and hated by all who lived in Oz exept for Glinda and Fiyero who knew the truth.
Fiyero himself had become captian of the guard so that he could find me and help me, but no one knew that really. Glinda told him they were to be married and he left her there to go and help me, because he really trully loved me with all his heart.
I went to get help from my sister who had become the new mayor because father was dead and she was crule as they come,though I didn't know it at the time. I helped her walk with the magic in the Ruby Slippers and to make Boq stay with her Nessarose said a spell wrong from the book changing him into the tin man and blaimed it all on me,which again everyone beleived even though it was a lie,then again they had already hated me so why not right? so pathethic and small minded if you ask me. Sorry I got off topic there,back to my story.
I ran from there again and almost lost myself to the inner darkness and anger I had inside,though I got out of it because I knew Glinda was still my friend through it all.
I came to Glinda after that because I found out a house had fallen on my sister,though at the time I had no idea it was Madam Morrible's plan using her weather magic to make a tornado that dropped the house on Nessarose to get me to show myself and be captured.
Glinda and I slapped each other a bit and when we both felt better we hugged and I told her everything that I had been through and then the guards showed up but Fiyero defended me and that is when Glinda figured out he loved me and not her.
I flew off and in that time found Dorothy who had my sister's shoes on her and so I locked her up to get them back...not to be mean it's just what kind of brat steals from a dead person? I mean come on...really? Any way I did a spell to keep Fiyero safe not knowing I had turned him into a scarecrow...oops but hay at least it meant he would live forever so it did work in a way.
Glinda then found me in my castle to tell me they were coming to kill me and we had a very sappy goodbye where we told each other how our friendship changed us both for good and for the better and I gave her my book of spells and then left.
That is when Dorothy threw the water at me and I melted..well that is the story you know any way, because in fact I was pretending and I hid under a secret door until no one was there and Fiyero came for me and together we left Oz forever.
Glinda then put Madam Morrible in jail and banished the wizard after finding out he was my father...a fact I only later found out really and because of that fact and the things he had done she banished him from Oz making it look like he left because he wanted to.
Well now you know the truth and the true story,so come and get to know me if you like...I could always use new friends.
