Miss Almira Gulch

Miss Gulch is a strict neighbor of Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. She is the Wicked Witch's Kansas counterpart.

History
Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, run to their farm in Kansas after an encounter with Miss Gulch, who hit Toto on the back with a rake. No one at the farm seems interested in this, however. Miss Gulch arrives and announces that she will have Toto destroyed because Toto bit her on one of her legs, and got the sheriff to give her an order for it. She takes Toto away in a basket on her bike, but Toto escapes and runs back to Dorothy. Realizing Miss Gulch will return for him, Dorothy and Toto decide to run away. She did not arrive as the tornado struck the farm. Inside the tornado, Dorothy saw Miss Gulch riding on her bicycle, but Miss Gulch suddenly transformed into a Wicked Witch. Her bicycle becomes a broom at that same moment. It is unknown if Miss Gulch survived the storm.
