Land of Oz/Characters: Difference between revisions

The wicked witch who rules the Winkies from her Yellow Castle. When the Wizard of Oz sends Dorothy and her friends to defeat the witch, she uses the Winged Monkeys to capture them. The witch then tries to get the Silver Shoes away from Dorothy, who throws a bucket of water on the witch, not knowing it will make the witch melt away forever. With the Wicked Witch of the West gone, Dorothy, her friends, and the Winkies are set free.

 

* [[Bad Boss]]: She must had been this if her [[Mooks]] celebrated her death.

* [[Dark Is Evil]]

* [[Giant Flyer]]: possibly the weirdest flying creature ever.

* [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad]]: Well, not exactly. He doesn't hate anyone, but he's not particularly keen on being alive again.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]

* [[Talking Animal]]: the only animal part is the head.

* [[Straw Feminist]]: She is Baum's [[Affectionate Parody]] of the American suffrage movement (which he supported).

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]

 

=== Army of Revolt ===

* [[Eats Babies]]: Well, he wants to, but his Conscience won't let him.

* [[Gentle Giant]]

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With the Cowardly Lion. It's most notable in Baum's books, where (post ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'') if you encounter one of them, the other is generally not too far away.

* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: ...sorta. The Tiger makes a great fuss about how savage and dangerous he is, but he's really a big softy.
