Are people born horrible or do they have horribleness thrust upon them? Can someone point to a baby and say this one will ruin so many lives, cause the death of many Animals and humans alike, one day she will stop at nothing to gain power?

No, once I was as innocent as the girl who dreamed of somewhere over the rainbow and as hopeful as my green student who declared her future was unlimited. The same green woman who a few years later decreed that she would do no good deed again, whose downfall was just as sudden as mine, although she was infinitely more noble.

But what of the girl who struggled for acceptance? Who was tired of being invisible? Who had no handsome prince to save her? What turned the girl who just wanted to be loved into one who would do anything for power?

Now mouldering away in my cell, I have no doubt I deserve this, but there is a story behind every villain and, though there is no one who would bother to hear it, I have a story too, one just as tragic of the Witch of the West's.

Because no one is born horrible. Not even me.

This is going to be fun – yeah I do like writing evil characters (there's a reason Avaric got such a big role in STNF) – and pretty long too, I've been trying to plan this and it just gets longer and longer – it's actually quite scary – the more I think about Oz's history the more Morrible gets involved in it. So far there's about 35 chapters planned(ish) and 5 written after this – I'm planning to try release them once a week, to keep to a schedule and to give me time. This should follow musicalverse cannon with elements (and names) stolen from the book and Baum.
