Fandom: Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz and minor aspects drawn from Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Character Notes:
History:
Elphaba Thropp was born on the 31st October in a small farm house in Munchkinland to the more scared and intimidated then happy Frexspar and Melena Thropp. They were so because their newly born daughter was a frightful shade of green. Unfortunately the baby girl never ‘grew out’ of her green-ness, something that her father as a Unionist minister and preacher found abhorrent and as a result caused him to dislike his eldest daughter immensely.

Elphaba has shown a great aptitude for magic that manifested itself originally only when she was angry or upset, something that immediately caught the eye of Madame Morrible as she tried to get to her sister Nessarose who she is extremely protective over due to her being disabled and in need of a wheelchair.

Since her attending Shiz University, Elphaba has struck up an extremely unlikely friendship with Galinda Upland, a rich Gilikanese girl due to the circumstance of being forced to share a room with her rather then her sister Nessarose like what was planned a friendship that developed from pure loathing. After attending the party at the Ozdust ballroom, which ends in near disaster for everyone, Galinda decides to try and make Elphaba popular like herself, something that results in Fiyero, the Winkie prince noticing her and helping her to rescue an Animal (a small lion cub capable of speech such as that of a human being) after Dr Dillamond is removed from his position of teacher at Shiz.

Dr Dillamond was quite easily known to Elphaba as her favourite teacher at Shiz despite being a Goat and she is deeply troubled when he is fired due to being an Animal and replaced as she is a great supporter of Animal rights.

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?

Third Person:

Elphaba let her inky dark hair drip over her shoulders as she tucked herself up tightly, with her knees to her chest and a thick tome on the Political Sciences of Animal abuse on her lap as she thoughtfully chewed over the words and chewed on a bright crimson apple, bringing an odd contrast to the emerald of the skin that encased the hand that held the fruit to the girl’s lips.

The young student pushed her round glasses up her nose and peered closely at the text, half-ignoring her roommate Galinda apart from the occasionally who was twittering on about how apparently Pfnee and Shen-Shen had been in the middle of the most ‘horredable’ spat and sulk over who was to wear Shen-Shen’s new kid gloves first for a dance at the Ozdust ballroom that evening.

“--urally, I told them you would be coming. So I’ve laid out a dress for you to-”

That caught the green witch’s attention and she snapped her head up from her book, peering at the blonde girl, currently bedecked in her pink fripperies. “Galinda, my sweet, whatever makes you think that I wish to go dancing of all preposterous things?” Elphaba asked, one of her eyebrows arching for her dark hairline as she shot the other student a withering look.

“Because, Fiyero was asking after you and mentioned how you never had any fun and I am inclined to agree with him, Elphie. All you do is sit in this blasted room or the library and read all day, it can’t be terribly good for your brain you know.” Galinda replied smoothly, repeating what had been a preplanned speech that she and Fiyero had worked on all evening. “I enjoy reading, Galinda, you should try it once or twice, you never know, you might just like it.” Elphaba replied, going back to reburying her nose in her book and pointedly ignoring the Gilikan girl.
