Glinda

Glinda (or Glinda the Good) is a character in the fictional Land of Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum. She is the chief sorceress of Oz.

Modern works

In Gregory Maguire's revisionist novel ', Glinda is initially called "Galinda," but she drops the first 'a' in her name in the middle of the story. Her character is seen extensively in the first half of the novel, but is mostly absent towards the end. In the novel's Broadway musical adaptation Wicked, Glinda is a more major character. In fact, the musical is mainly about the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba (the young woman who becomes the infamous Wicked Witch of the West). In both Maguire's novel and the musical, Glinda is a beautiful and very popular young woman.
