Character Name: Glinda Arduenna Upland Series: Wicked Timeline: Post-canon Canon Resource Links: http://wicked.wikia.com/wiki/Glinda_Upland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glinda_the_Good_Witch#Wicked http://www.shmoop.com/wicked-book/glinda.html Personality: Glinda is normally described as Glinda the Good and that's for a reason. Outwardly she is seen to be paragon of virtue, beauty and kindness. Being a public figure Glinda works hard to maintain this image of goodliness as it does well for her to be seen as virtuous. People always love a good person and the public of Oz seem to do so in abundance. In recent years she has grown much more mature and careful with her words due to taking a more prominent position in the public eye, having to take up the mantle of Ozma Regent.
Her life goals originally were to find a rich husband who would take care of her and to be a powerful witch. Due to a series of events, most linking to her friendship with Elphaba, her life hasn't quite turned out that way however and she's instead been left broken-hearted and lonely. However, she covers this incredibly well often joking that her face hurts from smiling so much. Glinda would never outwardly let herself be seen to be sad or upset in public as it's incredibly unseemly and above all else, she will keep her composure. She won't let herself be seen as anything other than being cheerful and joyful. It wouldn't be proper not to be so.
Glinda always seeks social approval and rarely steps out of the norms expected of her having even changed her name from Galinda to Glinda in the aftermath or Doctor Dillamond's death in order to gain both Fiyero and Elphaba's approval and show her grief in a very public manner.
Fundamentally, she is a kind woman who wants the best for her friends and family if not a vain one. She can come off as selfish and immature in her simplistic approach to the world but that is merely how she sees it all. She never went out looking for political office or to be an important public figure of Oz but became one due to circumstance, never the less she took the burden on without a word and did her best with it because she realised that she could be a figurehead for the happiness of Oz. She has evolved into a strong and independent witch. Pokémon Information Affiliation: Triainer! Starter: Azurill, because later on they can make bubbles together! Password: Atomic Fireball

It was too cold and damp to continue on the trail for the rest of the day. Her little blue friend was all too happy to keep splashing in puddles. The former Witch tutted under her breath, finding treats in the bag instead. “Zuzu, come here, sweet. Look what I found.” She tried to coax her Pokemon to under the tree with her, concerned that it was going to get ill from being out in the wet. Glinda hadn’t dealt with animals since she was a very young girl but even she remembered that most animals couldn’t resist the lure of food. Sure enough Zuzu came scrambling to sit on her lap and Glinda wrapped an arm around her little friend protectively as she offered her a handful of the treats that she had found. “You know, Zuzu, if we were home right now I could probably have made a nice big warm house for us here so we wouldn’t have to be out in the rain.” She sighed. “My poor dress is ruined.” Zuzu nuzzled into Glinda’s skirts. “Oh, are you tired? Me too.” She smiled at her, looking up towards the sky with hope as the clouds began to break and the rain started to lighten up. “But it’s only a few more hours until the next town.” Glinda narrated for them, stroking Zuzu behind her ears. “And when we get there I think we are going to find a humongastratic comfertational bed for us to sleep in. And we can get some delicious food together.” The Witch rocked them both from side to side. “And I think when we get there, first order of business; an umbrella!”
