| abstract | - The Wicked Witch of the East is a fictional character created by L. Frank Baum. She is first introduced in Baum's first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900. She is only involved in the second chapter of the novel titled The Council with the Munchkins, and although she is a very important character, the Wicked Witch of the East isn't alive in the story or any other story. When she does make an appearance, she is already dead. However, Baum does give her a backstory and insight into her history. The Wicked Witch of the East was one of four powerful Witches who presided over the four countries of the magical Land of Oz. She was the original owner of the charmed Silver Shoes, (Ruby Slippers in the 1939 movie) which helped her conquer Oz's eastern quadrant called Munchkin Country and enslave the natives called Munchkins, and keep them tightly in her bondage. The Wicked Witch of the East was never given a name by Baum and is only known by her title of position. She was said to be much more powerful than Locasta Tattypoo aka the Good Witch of the North, who lived in the northern quadrant of Oz called Gillikin Country. But she was not near as powerful as the beautiful sorceress Glinda, the Good Witch of the South who ruled over the southern quadrant called Quadling Country. She was arguably more powerful than the Wicked Witch of the West who ruled the western quadrant called Winkie Country, but was much more private and humble.
* In the original version of the story, the Wicked Witch of the East was not related to the Wicked Witch of the West but leagued together with her, as well as the Wicked Witch of the South and the old Witch Mombi to conquer Oz and divide it among themselves in four sections, long before the Wizard arrived, or even Glinda the Good surfaced. This is recounted in L. Frank Baum's fourth Oz novel titled Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, published in 1908.
* The Wicked Witch of the East was ultimately killed when the main character of the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and child protagonist named Dorothy Gale of Kansas came to Oz via cyclone.
- The Wicked Witch of the East was not related to the Wicked Witch of the West, but leagued together with her, the Wicked Witch of the South and Mombi to conquer the Land of Oz and divide it among themselves. She conquered the Munchkin Country and tyrannically ruled them after the fall of King Pastoria, making them slave for her night and day. The Wizard of Oz was unable to subdue her. Among her exceedingly cruel actions were the enchantments of Nick Chopper's axe and Captain Fyter's sword, which caused the two men to cut up their own bodies and eventually turn into the Tin Woodman and the Tin Soldier. She met her end when Dorothy Gale's house fell on her. Her dry withered body soon turned to dust and Dorothy obtained her magical Silver Shoes. Her death was cause for great celebration amongh the Munchkins. It was later revealed that the Wicked Witch lived in a hut, with her maid Nimmie Amee, who was Nick Chopper's sweetheart. Determined to prevent Nimmie Amee from getting married, the Wicked Witch of the East resolved to turn her into an old crone. It was while the Witch was out looking for herbs that would effect such a transformation that Dorothy's house landed on her. The Wicked Witch of the East was more powerful than the Good Witch of the North but, not as powerful as the Wicked Witch of the West. She also appeared to be more powerful than Mombi, as the Good Witch of the North was able to defeat Mombi, but was powerless to overthrow the Witch of the East.
- The Wicked Witch of the East is another villainess and a fellow witch to her sister, the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz books by L. Frank Baum. She was one of four powerful witches who presided over the four countries of the Land of Oz. She specifically ruled the Munchkins in the east. She was more powerful than the Wicked Witch of the North, but not as powerful as Glinda the Good Witch of the South.
