Elphaba, Elphie, Fabala, Fae
She was responsible for the Lion. Nessa was responsible for the Tin Man. Maybe Glinda was responsible for the Scarecrow. They were all responsible for Dorothy. Even the Wizard. Stupid, innocent, ignorant girl, wearing her sister’s shoes!

Rubies For Blood
Glinda might shine, but her soul was as black as the Witch’s. She had tried to make Nessa shine and only darkness had seized her heart. If she had had one.

Alter Ego
She thought she must be crying the most for Glinda. She was surprised that it wasn’t Nessa.

Burning Brightness
She adored Elphaba as the best friend she had ever had. But she made her feel like the worst person ever to live.

Faith
Midnight at Shiz University found Elphaba Thropp pressed against the door of the room she shared with her little sister, their old Nanny and Glinda Arduenna.

Sins of the Gifted
She wonders if all she wanted was to shine.

Farewell
She wanted to snap that she wasn’t the only one to have been abandoned. The fact that she had been graced with a goodbye somehow made it all the more painful.

The Wedding of the Year
Meaningless names and moronic titles stared back at her from the flashy cards and envelopes.

Phoenix She took her new name from those who had been cast aside in favour of so-called progress.

Weave
As much as I love Glinda and Nessa, I cannot make sacrifices for their benefit.

Dysfunctional
It is true that they are weaker alone. Nessa turns and embraces her precious beliefs with open arms, Glinda twirls and shines and flashes a practiced fake smile wherever she goes, and Elphaba…well, Elphaba becomes more paranoid and distant by the day.

Pretty in Pretend
The first time she entered the palace in the Emerald City and knew it as her own domain, she refused to touch anything.

For Elphie
“You don’t fool me, with all your glitter and smiles and filthy goodness…”

Makes Children of Us All
Elphaba stepped gracefully aside as she was almost mown down by a whirl of silk nightgown and blonde hair.

Imaginary
She remembers when she wept and her world finally fell apart.

Glazed Over
She was never so good at communication anyway, she absently muses, and she has no use for words now.

Thoughts of Thinking
“Yes, I did notice…” was the droll reply, “You certainly were very trying. Or are, should I say.”

All That Glitters
More important things to do than take care of your poor sister and that ignorant blonde girl you left behind?

Cleansing
She saw nothing but her own reflection. That, she supposed, was her final punishment. She saw nothing but what she was. Alone, widowed, childless.

Apparition
She moves in a manner most unexpected of a girl her age, of an educated lady just exiting her teens, striding forward on the heels of still fashionable imitations of the famous silver shoes.

Velocity
"Shiz is either going to make or break Nessie. Right now, I don’t know which would be more terrifying,” she admitted. Her expression altered, a slight smile on her lips as she glanced at her friend, “As for you, my dear, I think we can safely say that university is doing you a world of good.”

Ribbon I/V
As Elphaba vanishes into the Underground life of the Emerald City, Glinda's years of hell are just beginning.
Ribbon, II/V
Ribbon, III/V
Ribbon, IV/V

Sister-At-Arms
“But now my cousin decides to develop a backbone and state that she cannot risk her reputation being tainted by association with those who support the Glikkus’ seceding… She says that she has to remain impartial, for the good of us all."

Echo
Isn’t this all hers now? Isn’t this her right? Her inheritance? Lurline knows she has never had much in her life. But does she want it?

Pinching at the Soul
The first day she wore the shoes, her feet were bleeding by evening. She made Nanny swear not to tell.

Pre-Witch Charms
Glinda was perched on the edge of her bed in only her undergarments, one of Nessa’s shoes dangling from the toes of her right foot.

Reanimate
“You would never last through a Gillikin summer.”
