let all oz be agreed:
i'm wicked through and through.
GENERAL. No Godmodding should go without saying at this point. I write with anyone, multimuse, OC, canon, as long as the muse is developed and has sufficient information available to me. This should go without saying, but do not take my original content as your own. This includes headcanons and metas.
TRIGGERS. I will always do my best to tag sensitive content, and if I ever miss something feel free to point it out to me, likewise if you would like something to be tagged, you are welcome to drop me a message about it. I would appreciate spiders being tagged due to a phobia, but don’t worry too much about it.
REPLIES & FORMATTING. I don't expect my length to be 100% matched but I do appreciate some attempts to keep it close. I very quickly will drop threads if I write you paragraphs and receive a single line in return. I tend to write multi-para with icons, but I am up for serval different styles!
PERSONAL BLOGS. I am absolutely fine with being followed by personal (non-rp) blogs. You are welcome to like my posts and interact with me. I just ask that you don't reblog anything but gifsets from or things I have specifically marked as okay to reblog. I shall try and tag other posts as not to be reblogged. Anyone who breaks this rule more than once will be softblocked. Thank you very much!
DUPLICATES. I will always love and adore my fellow Elphabas, and welcome you with open arms to my blog.
SHIPPING. If our muses have chemistry, I’m up for shipping them. I would prefer some conversation happening before getting into shippy things, even if it’s just a quick message to ask if it’s okay. Once that has been established, go wild.
FOLLOWING. This blog is selective and private, meaning I write exclusively with mutuals. I am 25, and for my own comfort, I would rather keep my mutuals at 18+. However, non-mutuals are welcome to send in asks, or jump into my IMs if you’d like to talk!
SMUT & NSFW. No smut will appear on my blog as I’m uncomfortable writing it. However other NSFW topics will be written about given the nature of Kassandra's character; I will always do my best to tag these if they get too gratuitous.
ACTIVITY & CONTACT. I will oftentimes be online even if I’m not actively posting. Mutuals are free to ask for my Discord! I will try my best to answer in a reasonable time frame, but if it has been a while, feel free to poke me for an answer!
DRAMA. For the sake of my own mental health, I will not be getting involved in any drama/discourse that passes my dash. If you want to have a conversation with me about anything, my ask and IMs are always open.
CANON.
I write according to the plot and events of the musical, and base my charactisation mainly on the portrayals of Willemijn Verkaik and Renée van Wegberg. Occasional pieces of information may be taken from the novel.

Hello! My name is Holly (she/her), I'm 25 and from the UK. I have seen Wicked 75+ times between the London, UK tour and Dutch productions. I've written Elphaba before but fell off the bandwagon. Activity will likely be low, but please know I love this green bean with all my heart!

PERSONALITY
Elphaba's personality is best described as prickly. It is impossible to know whether this would be the case had her childhood not been so hard: a father who rejected her, a mother who died when she was but a toddler, and not a peer willing to spend time with her beyond tormenting her. However her love for her little sister wove through her personality, Nessarose being one of the few to see Elphaba's softer side until she befriends Glinda in Shiz. Those she cares for she is protective of, and she has a strong sense for justice.

HISTORY
A screaming cry, that was how Elphaba Thropp came into the world. A world that would be cruel far before it was ever kind. With a father who loathed her, a mother lost too young, and skin as green as sin, Elphaba cursed to live her life with taunts and torments, from both adults and children alike. And when her little sister was born disabled, legs tangled from her early coming, Elphaba was the one to blame.
And so began a life of penance.
More of a servant than a sister, Elphaba waited on her sister hand and foot, trying her best to make up for what she saw as very real guilt. Tried to make it up to her father, to gain even the slightest word of begrudging praise, never asking for anything.
Until she asked to attend Shiz.
It took Nessarose expressing the same desire for him to agree. With Elphaba he had just put down the idea, asking who was to take care of her sister while she was off studying far away? It had all ended in a shouting match, in rare tears. But if Nessa wanted such a thing, then Frex would get it for her. And his precious daughter's carer would have to go along as well.
Shiz was meant to be different, far from Munchkinland, close to that more accepting place of the Emerald City. Perhaps there she could fit in, perhaps there she could be happy. More dreams to be smashed.
At first, things had only gone from bad to worse. Somehow her new classmates were just as bad as the old, her roommate the ringleader. And then that party had come around, that horrid moment when something she had thought had been done out of kindness had instead been done out of malice, so she could be laughed at. But after that, after Galinda Upland felt guilty, Elphaba's life got a little better. She had friends. She could be happy for the first time in a long time.
The letter was the Wizard was something she had never expected to come.
Meeting her greatest hero was supposed to be the biggest moment of her life, the moment that would finally prove she was worth something. And it was the biggest moment of her life - but it would lead her father to only hate her more, for all of Oz to fear and despise her. For she rebelled. The Wizard was corrupt, and she rebelled against him.
Elphaba Thropp was no more. Now there was only the Wicked Witch of the West. A grand title for a girl of just nineteen.
She was forced to forget the life she had had before, the people she had loved. The boy she had loved. Her life had taken a new turn. But the surprises didn't end there. Fiyero, the boy turned man whom had once helped her free a Lion cub... he returned her feelings. He ran with her. He cared for her, and held her like no one ever had. And he made her feel normal, for once in her life.
But life was cruel to Elphaba Thropp. And even he was snatched away from her, despite her best efforts, and then all of that hopeful, innocent girl was gone. She was the Witch.
Until she was wrong. So beautifully, delightfully wrong. She had saved him, she had kept him alive, protected him. And she was given the chance to make things up with Glinda, with her first friend. Escape was the only option, a faked death for both of them. And they could never go back to Oz.
SHE WAS A CHILD OF BOTH WORLDS. Elphaba as a child until she attends Shiz. She lives with her father and sister in Munchkinland, doing her best to stay out of the former's way and whatever the latter asks.
HALLOWED HALLS AND VINE-DRAPPED WALLS. Finally escaping from under her father's thumb, Elphaba attends Shiz University. It's not the experience she anticipated, with the students there being no more understanding than the children she had grown up around. She does her best to ignore the taunts and go about learning all she can.
YOUR LIFE COULD END UP CHANGING. After the arrival of Prince Fiyero and the party he arranged, a mean spirited trick leads to Elphaba and her roommate Galinda forming a close bond, the closest Elphaba has other than her sister. She also learns of the true plight of the Animals and discovers her feelings for Fiyero run deeper than she had imagined.
EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY. With the Wizard revealed to be the man behind the prosecution and oppression of the Animals in Oz, Elphaba knows she has no choice but to fight back. After fleeing, she takes up helping in whatever way she can, hiding from the Wizard's guards. Her life is flipped upside down when her attempt to free the flying monkeys she created leads to Fiyero abandoning his place as Captain of the guard to follow her.
LET ALL OZ BE AGREED I'M WICKED THROUGH AND THROUGH. Nothing good ever seems to last. Fiyero taken and likely dead, Elphaba descends into a madness that leads to her embracing the public's view of her: as the Wicked Witch of the West.
WE CAN NEVER COME BACK TO OZ. Her spell worked, for once it worked, and Fiyero lived. But with him a scarecrow and her believed dead, the best they can do is leave Oz for new pastures, never to return.
