Wicked Witch of the East



The Wicked Witch of the East is a character in the fictional Land of Oz created by L. Frank Baum in his classic books. The Witch was the ruler of Munchkin Country, and the original owner of the magical silver shoes/ruby slippers, before her death when she was crushed by Dorothy's falling house. This prompted the appearance of her angry sister, the Wicked Witch of the West

Although not verifiably seen (except for her feet), the 1939 film helped to further the popularity of the character.
