So, I know that Wicked the Musical is a different beast than Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

They’re different in tone and theme, and they aren’t trying to be the same thing. I usually don’t even think of them in the same breath; Maguire’s Oz is a different world than the one we see on stage.

However, there is one change made for the stage show that I think is a weakening of the story: the decision to have Elphaba fake her death, and run away with Fiyero. I get it, it’s a musical; Elphie melting at the end of her own story is a bummer. But Wicked is a tragedy, and I always thought it was a little bit of a cop-out to give Elphaba a happy ending.

Then I realized something: The book is Elphaba’s story, but Wicked the musical is very explicitly told from Glinda’s point of view. There’s the whole “I did know her once… at school,” thing that turns into an extended flashback.

Maybe Elphaba didn’t fake her death. Maybe the ending of the stage show is Glinda imagining, and hoping, that’s what happened. Perhaps Elphaba turned Fiyero into a scarecrow, and then they ran away together. Maybe it was all Elphaba’s master plan. Probably not. But for Glinda, it’s helpful to imagine — and always, in the back of her mind, to believe that’s what happened.

No one mourns the Wicked. Glinda doesn’t want to mourn. She wants to believe that somewhere, somehow, her friend is still out there.

Currently watching Good Witch season 5 premiere and one of the characters has a horse called Starfire! The character chose the name based off a video game but anyone who knows that name know exactly who it is REALLY based off of...

And just like how the season 5 premiere focused on Cassie and Sam's wedding, Starfire and her partner, Robin are also one of the greatest couples/love stories in DC.

Glinda the Good

Glinda, the Good Witch of the South. Not to be confused for Galinda Upland, the Good Witch of the North from Wicked. This Glinda is based on the books, and she is consistently portrayed as a very ancient, powerful, and wise witch. Essentially a goddess in all but name. Nearly every illustration of Glinda from the books depict her as very tall and beautiful, towering over everyone else, especially over Ozma and Dorothy as one Glinda of Oz book cover showed.

Naturally, to design my own take, I set up a few design rules for myself:

1) Make her like a Greek goddess. A stunning stature that would cause everyone fall in love with her. I mainly took inspiration from Palutena from the Kid Icarus series since I wanted to give her a potential mischievous aura to offset any stoic nature of the character. I also took inspiration from the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio to incorporate an otherworldly feel to her (at least compared to Dorothy and Ozma).

2) Use Galinda as a reference of what not to do with my take. The MGM movie infamously depicted Glinda as this bubbly, fairy princess that flies in a bubble and constantly smiles all the time. Galinda from Wicked cements that take and deconstructs that archetype as being insensitive to real issues and clearly being a mask of insecurity. Not to say the character is bad, it's just not how I see Glinda as. Maybe Elphaba and Galinda can be their own characters separated from the originals...

3) Looking at the book's description and motifs related to Glinda. According to the book, Glinda has deep rich red hair, blue eyes, and peachy cheeks with a pure white dress. She is also the ruler of the Quadling Country, whose primary color was Red. Glinda's red hair proved to be useful to make her clothes focus on white and silver colors as I found red to be very distracting unless it's close to Glinda's face, which the red hair excels at. Of course, as a little homage to the MGM movie, I gave her a pair of red ruby slippers underneath her dress. Glinda was also said to travel on a chariot pulled by swans and storks, so I designed Glinda with a bird wing motifs. You may actually notice that her crown has several swans at the front, and her cape is meant evoke wings of a bird.

To capture the mythical, goddess aspect of Glinda, I used the Procreate Symmetry tool to give Glinda's character model a sense of perfection and orderliness to contrast Ozma's more tomboyish approach to being a ruler. The only thing that is not symmetrical is her arms since I need her to hold a wand.

The funny thing about designing Glinda is that she is never actually seen wielding a wand, staff or even scepter in the official illustrations. At best, she has a book in her hand. So all I had to go by was the classic star wand from MGM. But I felt that a star wand would be not be regal enough for Glinda but luckily, I had stumbled upon a flag banner in Santa Barbara during my winter vacation which had a star shape that feels like a star and royalty. I actually debated on whether the wand should be ruby or silver, but I ultimately chose silver with ruby highlights.

Next up on my Oz takes will be the Good Witch of the North and the Wicked Witch of the East. Hopefully, I'll be able to redesign Mombi yet again to fit with these witch designs.
