Re: Elphaba Thropp || Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of OZ 2/3

Personality: Elphaba is by her very definition a completely and utterly devout student. She takes immense pride in her own intelligence and is rarely seen without her nose in a book or deep in thought. She isn’t by nature a very sociable young woman, preferring the company of her teachers and books as to her other Shiz University students so it’s understandable that she keeps a tight knit group of friends and tends not to socialize outside of that. Elphaba herself is a very caring person, constantly looking after her younger sister; Nessarose and attending to her, although it could be argued that the only reason she does this is because Nessa is her Father’s favourite and she is constantly vying for his approval and affection which she has been deprived of.

She is incredibly ambitious and plans to work by the Wizard’s side one day in order to gain approval by her Father and her peers, something she has never felt she has gained due to the oddity of her green skin. Despite all of this she is a fairly level headed girl, more then capable of taking care of herself and those who she cares for and she’s more then willing to stand up for a cause she truly believes in, such as what was displayed when she rescued the lion cub as a protest against the abolishment of Animal Rights.

Other: It should be noted that Elphaba has not yet become the Wicked Witch of the West and wouldn’t understand and reference to it despite her green skin as she has yet to go to see the Wizard of Oz and rebel against him and the plans he and Madam Morrible have made for her.

She is taken from the point in the musical just after ‘Not that Girl’ but before ‘One Short Day’.

First Person (entry type):

I can’t find it anywhere and Nessa is already getting herself upset. Who knew that the scarf that I sent home for her during my first week of Shiz would be so important to the poor dear? I certainly had no idea she had taken such an odd fondness to the thing. Galinda had found it rather hideous when I had first picked it up, explaining to me that red did not match well with my skin, it took a while for the vain little thing to work out that it wasn’t for me. Or her for that matter as I rather think she had taken a fancy to it herself.

At any rate, I have looked everywhere from her, from the libraries in Crage Hall to actually underneath her own bed although she insists that I shall find nothing under there. Wherever it is, I had better find it fast before Nessie catches herself a chill and managed to write home to father about her illness, only meaning to gain sympathy for herself but instead highlighting my failures in taking care of her.

Maybe I could try the dining halls?
