Elphaba Thropp
The Wicked Witch of the West


{Elphaba}

Basic Details

---

^Age: 21

^Species: Human/Witch

^{Physical Appearance:}

The first thing you probably notice about Elphaba is that her skin is green. It's like this because of the magical potion her mother drank while she was conceived. Once you get past the green skin, you'll find Elphaba to be a wholly normal looking person. Most people would even find her beautiful if it weren't for her green skin. Her hair is black and usually tied up in a bun. Just to go with everything else, her eyes are also green. Elphaba was once very... well, dreary with her clothes. She wore simple, bulky grey clothing and glasses. But that was a different time. Nowadays she wears fancy black dresses and her pointy hat. Most of the time she'll be carrying either her broom {her main method of transportation}, the Grimmerie {filled with powerful spells} or both.

^Personality:

In the past, Elphaba was a very shy girl. She had difficulty understanding people and was generally considered strange by most of the people she met. This is mostly because of her green skin making her an outcast wherever she went. Nobody ever wanted to talk to her and her father was just ashamed of her. So she was different not only in appearance but in personality. She wanted desperately to fit in and have friends, but because she simply didn't know how to interact with people normally she just... couldn't. Eventually she sort of gave up on people and kept to herself.

Her time at Shiz University changed her personality quite a bit. Although she first despised her outgoing, popular roommate Glinda, she ended up changing her a lot. When the two became friends, Glinda taught her how to talk to people. As a result, Elphaba became a bit more outgoing... especially with her opinions. At the heart of it all, Elphaba was a kind person who felt horribly about the oppression that was happening to the Animals (anthropomorphic animals) and spoke her dislike of what has happening openly, never once backing down. She became a much more open person.

Despite being socially awkward, Elphaba is capable of love - particularly for Fiyero. Fiyero is the only person Elphaba has really loved and the only person who ever showed actual love for her. Because of that, Elphaba kind of clung to him, metaphorically of course. In fact, the thing that pushed Elphaba over the edge was her believing that Fiyero had been killed. Because of this, Elphaba became what she is now. Elphaba has sworn to do no more good and has become downright evil. The only thing she cares about anymore is getting her revenge against the Wizard and she doesn't care who she has to hurt to get that.

Elphaba, who used to be a very independent person who always was herself, has recently decided to just go along with Oz's view of her - she decided that if they wanted a Wicked Witch they would get a Wicked Witch. So, she completely became what Oz wanted her to be - she's done with helping anyone out and trying to do good, mostly as a result of her failures all stemming from her trying to do good things.

Powers & Abilities

---

• Magic Proficiency: Elphaba has been disaplying extraordinary abilities with magic since early childhood. However, her abilities were shunned by her father who hated Elphaba for her appearance. After being taught magic at Shiz University Elphaba has advanced in her skill with magic. Now Elphaba can successfully perform spells from the Grimmerie {spells that were said to be the most powerful in all of Oz}, something that most magic-users in Oz would call impossible due to the Grimmerie being written in an ancient language. See, the magic in Elphaba's world relies mostly on spoken incantations {with a few exceptions}. However, certain spells are more difficult to perform or take more energy out of you depending on how powerful they are. Basically, what this ability is is the power to perform incredibly powerful spells without much energy being taken out of Elphaba.
  
  
• Telekinesis: One of the few magical abilities that can be used without having to say an incantation. Elphaba's earliest uses of this ability were simply making people stagger back and it was only activated when she was particularly stressed. After some training at Shiz, this ability has been more toned. Now she can control when she uses it and what she uses it on. This type of telekinesis is much better for throwing large objects around a room as opposed to focusing on smaller objects and making them float around.
  
  
• Fire: Another one that she can use without an incantation. Elphaba can conjure up some fire in her hand and throw it at people in the form of a fireball. Besides that, she doesn't really have any more control over it beside this in smaller or larger forms.
  
  
• Teleportation: Elphaba can appear wherever she wants in a poof of dark red smoke. This ability extends where she wants and does not require an incantation to work. It is the last non-incantation spell she's learned yet.
  
  
• Spell-Casting: Training at Shiz University greatly helped Elphaba's magic. Now she knows a whole bunch of incantations that can be used for various purposes, depending on the spell. The only incantations she knows by heart are those that are much less reality-warping than the ones in the Grimmerie.

Main/Important Equipment

---

• The Grimmerie: The Grimmerie is a large, leather bound book filled with the most powerful spells in Oz. The spells the Grimmerie has to offer are the sort of spells that alter reality itself. Some of the spells in the Grimmerie have been able to transform people entirely, making them into scarecrows or metal men. Others have enchanted objects with certain powers, like allowing whoever wears a pair of shoes to walk if they were crippled before. The Grimmerie's spells are also in a language that only the most powerful of magic-users can read. Elphaba, being a powerful magic-user, has shown to be able to read the Grimmerie... but not fully understand what it's saying. For instance, when she was trying to enchant someone to make someone feel no pain she accidentally turned said person into a scarecrow. The spells in the Grimmerie are so powerful than they cannot ever be reversed, unless there's a magical spell to turn them into something that would turn it back.
  
  
• Flying Broomstick: A common broomstick that was enchanted with the ability to fly by Elphaba. It is not known just how fast the broom can fly, but it can leave behind a large trail of smoke. It's perfect for writing threatening messages in the sky. Besides flying, the broomstick has no other uses.
  
  
• Crystal Ball: A red crystal ball that was enchanted with a spell to allow it to see whatever Elphaba wants to see. It was originally made so that Elphaba could keep track of various things in the land of Oz. The crystal ball works not only for that, but for allowing Elphaba to cast spells over long distances. For instance, she was able to enchant flowers with a certain spell that made people nearby them fall asleep.
  

Weaknesses

---

^{Psychological Flaws...}

• ~Wicked~: Just recently, Elphaba has made the decision to become what Oz thinks her to be - a positively evil person. While she isn't going to go around kicking puppies and taking candy from babies, she certainly isn't the type to help anyone anymore. She's now much more willing to do evil things to get her way, something that she never did before.
  
  
• Social Justice Elphie: Even though she swore to herself that she wasn't going to defend people anymore, she still has a soft spot for those who are oppressed. Having lived her whole life being treated differently for looking different, she'd be much more inclined to do the exact opposite of what she said she'd do and actually help someone out.
  
  
• THAT'S RAAAAACIST: Elphaba used to be very self conscious about her green skin. Even though she's mostly gotten over that, there's still a little bit of that there. Treating her differently because she has green skin, however, will make her pretty angry.
  
  
• FIYEROOOOOO: Fiyero was the first (and only) person that Elphaba ever loved. They shared a strong bond, even after Elphaba became "the Wicked Witch". Now, Elphaba thinks that Fiyero is dead. Fiyero's "death" was the main thing that lead Elphaba into becoming what Oz thought of her.
  

^{Physical Flaws...}

• Mortal: She can die like all humans can. This is the most boring weakness ever, tbh.
  

^{Other Flaws...}

• The Grimmerie: The Grimmerie's spells are irreversible - if she turns some into a newt she's never going to be able to turn them back... unless there happens to be a "turn human" spell.
