The Wicked Witch of the West
Dorothy meets the Good Witch of the North in the Land of the Munchkins. She’s the first character Dorothy speaks to after arriving in the Land of Oz, and functions as a guiding mentor figure. It’s the Good Witch who sends Dorothy on her quest to the Emerald City in the first place, and she also explains a few details about Oz. The Good Witch of the North is the first sign that Dorothy has entered a magical place where good and evil witches are an everyday fact of life. The Good Witch also protects Dorothy by kissing her forehead and leaving a shining mark that protects Dorothy from anyone who would harm her.
