Who is theodora in oz

Going by the MGM movie, the chief problem is: how comes the Wizard aged like that? This is the Land of Oz. The land where you never die except from a magic-induced Weaksauce Weakness like Theodora's water problem. Relatedly, deciding Glinda and Oz are in love was an odd idea, because whatever version you're going with be it the movie or the book , the modern-day-Wizard and the modern-day-Glinda are not in love if nothign else, I doubt post-character-development-Oz would plan to leave Oz in his air baloon with Dorothy without even so much as a goodbye to the love of his life , meaning their relationship is Doomed by Canon.

The next day, Theodora searches for Oscar, unaware that he already left to defeat the Wicked Witch. She goes to ask Evanora if she knows the wizard's whereabouts, and sees her spying on Oscar and Glinda through her crystal ball.

Sensing a chance to turn Theodora against Oscar, Evanora magically conjures a music box identical to the one that Oscar gave Theodora, and lies that Oscar seduced her the previous night, and suggests that he intends to do the same to Glinda.

Hearing this, Theodora is utterly hearbroken, which rapidly turns to rage. As the two sisters continue to watch Oscar's journey, Theodora became further devastated at Oscar's "betrayal.

Theodora immediately takes a bite from it, but afterwards she realizes that Evanora was the Wicked Witch all along, however she is too late to stop her, as the apple's curse takes effect, and causes all of the goodness in her heart to die.

With her repressed darker nature being let loose, Theodora transforms into a purely evil version of herself. Her skin turns green as a side effect of the potion in the apple while her nose becomes crooked due to her falling on it. Pleased but in shock of her sister's new hideous appearance, Evanora tells her she can cast an enchantment to mask it. However, Theodora refuses as she embraces her new form as the Wicked Witch of the West. As her first act, the Witch of the West flies to Glinda's refuge in Quadling Country and easily breaks through Glinda's barrier.

She confronts Glinda and Oscar, the latter being unable to recognize her. Reminding Oscar of the time they spent together, Oscar realizes the Witch is Theodora, however the Witch of the West then uses her magic to make Oscar dance in the air like a puppet, telling Oscar that he is the cause of her wickedness.

Glinda tries to reason that this isn't her but Evanora's influence, but the Witch scoffs at this, and says that she'll come back with the armies of the Emerald City.

Oscar tries to get through her as well, but the Witch coldly states that the citizen's faith in their "wizard" will amount to nothing. As a taunt to Oscar's earlier comment of how witches ride broomsticks to fly, she steals one of the Quadlings' brooms, and then flies away, cackling.

With war approaching from Glinda's resistance, Evanora and the Witch of the West prepare their armies against the coming invasion. Announcing that they will drive away the enemy, Evanora is suddenly interrupted by Theodora, who states there will be no mercy, only slaughter, as she demonstrates her much more cruel personality to a surprised Evanora.

When the resistance finally attacks, Evanora and Theodora watch invaders coming through the Poppy Fields. Evanora calls out for the winged baboons to attack, but realizes too late that it is a trap composed of false scarecrow soldiers that puts most of the baboons to sleep, despite their attempts to escape. However, two baboons manage to avoid this and capture the nearby Glinda, bringing her to Evanora.

As Glinda is taunted by Evanora, Theodora witnesses Oscar stealing treasures from the Emerald City vaults and seemingly flies away with it in a hot air balloon.

She arrives in the town square and announces the cowardice and betrayal of the Wizard, showing the balloon flying nearby. She shoots it down with a fireball, causing it to ignite and fall to the city square in fire and smoke. As she and Evanora are about to finish Glinda, a giant projection of Oscar's head, cast from a nearby carriage, appears in the smoke.

He addresses himself as the true Wizard of Oz. The wicked sisters try to attack the head, only to have no effect. In response, Oscar sets off multiple illusions to scare the witches and convince them of his power. Seeing the Wizard's might and uprising from the citizens, Theodora attempts to do what Evanora couldn't and kill Glinda. However, as she is distracted, China Girl hands Glinda her wand, and she is able to escape her chains.

Surprised and angered by the disappearance of Glinda, Theodora once again attempts to attack the Wizard, only to have her attacks seemingly turned back on her. Realizing she is apparently unable to harm the Wizard, Theodora takes her broomstick, flying off and vowing to return. As she leaves, Oscar states that he knows her evilness was not her doing, and if she can ever find the good in her heart again, she will be welcomed back.

The Wicked Witch of the West roars out her defiance at Oscar before flying off to the west, leaving Oscar saddened. The Wicked Witch of the West first appears in the episode "New York City Serenade" where it's discovered she's absconded with Regina's palace in her absence.

However prior to her actions with the Evil Queen we learn that Cora abandoned Zelena. Zelena was then taken to Oz and taken in by a childless couple. Her adoptive mother dies and her adoptive father tells her he never wanted her. Before Zelena leaves her house he tells her to always put on a good face. Zelena then goes to the wizard who tells her Regina is her sister and is a queen making Zelena furious.

He gives her magic slippers that take her to the Enchanted Forest. Zelena arrives in Regina's castle and Rumplestiltskin notices her.

He offers to teach her magic. Zelena gladly accepts. Despite being great at magic Rumple tells her Regina will cast the dark curse making Zelena jealous and her skin starts turning green. She goes back to Oz and discovers the wizard is a mortal and in her anger transforms him into a flying monkey.

She then seethes as she sees a projection of Regina being called the best student Rumple ever had. Her skin then turns completely green as she vows to go back in time and stop Regina's birth.

After turning the wizard into a flying monkey Glinda appears to Zelena. She thanks Zelena for turning the wizard into a monkey and offers Zelena a place in her sisterhood of witches. Zelena is hesitant to accept at first but she joins them and her skin turns back to normal. Glinda then gives her a pendant that will harness her magic but if she loses it she loses her magic.

As Glinda shows Zelena the west a cyclone appears and carries a house in it. The house has a person in it a girl named Dorothy Gale. Glinda takes the Dorothy back to her fellow witches but Zelena doesn't trust her. At first she fears Dorothy will take her place in the sister hood then Zelena learns from The Book of Records Dorothy was meant to come to Oz and kill her. Zelena skins then reverts to green again as she is jealous of Dorothy.

She then decides to make both Glinda and Dorothy think she is dead by having Dorothy splash her with water and she pretends to melt. Glinda then thinks Zelena is dead and she takes Dorothy to the wizard who they believed is a person again since they both think Zelena is dead. Zelena then poses as the wizard and when Dorothy asks to go home Zelena does this for her. Some years later, Zelena celebrates her "Abandonment Day", when her mother abandoned her in the forest. Since she didn't know when her birthday was, she measures her years by this day instead.

After watching a memory of her mother abandoning her, and blowing out the candle on her cupcake, the wizard flies in, dropping the Scarecrow on the ground before flying off. She tells the Scarecrow that he is going to help her with creating a time travel spell and needs his brain as one of the ingredients. As she is about to extract the brain from him, Dorothy bursts in, stopping her. Selena shows surprise at Dorothy's return thinking she sent her back to Kansas.

Dorothy explains she came back after learning from the Munchkins that Zelena had taken over Oz. After asking Zelena to let the Scarecrow go, and she refuses, Dorothy tells Zelena that she will never defeat her because she has the most powerful weapon: the love of the people.

As Zelena prepares to shoot a ball of magic at Dorothy, Toto jumps out of the basket he had been hiding in, and pulls on the string of the curtains, which fall down and trap Zelena as he and Dorothy escape. As Oscar leaves the room, Evanora scolds her sister for bringing an impostor to Emerald City.

Theodora tries to defend, believing that Oscar is really the wizard who will save them. Evanora thinks that Oscar could have been sent by the wicked witch and then accuses her sister, Theodora of being in league with the witch. In her anger, Theodora conjures a fireball and hits a nearby vase. To this, Evanora states "that temper really is wasted in you, isn't it? Evanora claims that Oscar can have all the power and wealth of the king if he kills Glinda who was believed to be the wicked witch by stealing and destroying her wand, the source of her power.

Later, Theodora comes into the throne room and sees her sister spying on Oscar; she inquires about Oscar's whereabouts, since he never said goodbye to her before leaving the Emerald City. Evanora states that he is with Glinda, to which Theodora naively replies that he must be negotiating the peace that she has always desired. Then, Evanora magically conjures a music box identical to the one that Oscar gave Theodora and every other woman he met.

Evanora, knowing Theodora has a music box as well, shows Theodora her box and states that she also danced with Oscar the previous night. Hearing this, Theodora cannot believe it, but Evanora uses the exact words Oscar said to Theodora to make her claim seem legitimate and further incite the anger within Theodora. Theodora goes to her rooms and berates herself for her naivete, crying for the first time.

When she sees her tears leaving burn scars on her face, she snarls to her reflection, " Serves you right! As the two sisters continued to watch Oscar's journey, Theodora became heartbroken at Oscar's betrayal as he joins forces with Glinda who Theodora still believes is evil. She cries, experiencing physical pain due to her tears burning into her skin a nod to her role as the Wicked Witch of the west, who was destroyed by water.

Playing on her sister's pain, naivete and growing anger, Evanora offers her a green apple that will cure her broken heart. Theodora immediately takes a bite from it. The magic makes Theodora see clearly and soon afterwards she realizes that Evanora was the real wicked witch all along.

However, she is too late to realize this as Theodora begins to transform into a hideous, green-skinned version of herself as her heart disintegrates.

Myself and Peter Montagna did her makeup every day. She played about 40 days and she also had a double that played all the time as well. We made her up and the actress up every single day. Everything else is a combination of silicone and foam rubber. For her hands, we ended up finding an easy solution.
