Goths, Ghouls, and Ghosts Oh My!

[part 1] [part 2]

Say goodbye to his bowtie guys, its bandanna time

Pre-Dorothy Snatching: Stupid construct the little brat made

Post-Dorothy Snatching: An ancient construct that this brat happened to find who wants her dead for some reason

Pre-Patchwork: Freaky construct that should not physically exist. Get it away from her impressionable child. It may try to kill them both

Post-Scrow Visit: A cursed human like Boq, but who mourns his creator. Who knows how old he is. Still unnerving and unpredictable. How had his spell lasted so long?

Elphaba:

Knows she's Oscar's daughter. Counts it as another one of his shortcomings and lies

Knows there were a lot of complications around her mother's pregnancy with Nessa. Doesn't know specifics.

Knows that her family had a Quadling friend before Nessa was born. Never saw or heard about him again after that.

Knows her entire life story (unlike most of Oz)

Knows Boq is the Tin Man. Knows Nessa improperly placed a Grimmery spell on him. Knows she turned him into the Tin Man.

Believes Fiyero died in the field due to visions. Thought her spell failed at doing anything because he was already dead.

Obviously knows she faked her own death

Knew she was pregnant with Liir/Liir is her kid

Did not know about Fiyero's will at all. Did not know Mena was considering Liir for his heir

Knows Nastoya recognizes her. Has no idea Nastoya put together her relationship to Liir or that Liir is Fiyero's.

Did not know that the Scarecrow killed Morrible until the Nome King said it

Still has no idea who the witch was that transformed Ro into a Scarecrow or how long ago that was.

Ro:

Knows Elphaba is Oscar's daughter. He's pissed.

Knows most of Elphaba's life story up till the Melting

Elphaba mentioned that something happened with Boq and Nessa, and that she'd tried to help but thought she'd made things worse. He did not realize the extent until he met the Tin Man himself.

Knows he was saved by Elphaba's spell. Has vague memories of bits and pieces of it, but doesn't know exactly what she did.

Does not know she faked her own death. Considered that she knew what she did and didn't want him anymore. Dismissed that idea. Concluded that she thought he died and either cursed the water or cursed herself so that the melting rumor would be true.

Does not know Liir is his and Elphaba's

Has not interacted with anyone from his family, or most of the Vinkus as a whole until the meeting with Mena.

Now knows Scraps is Breoit Eile. Knows she is Liir's mother. Knows she must have her own magic or else the Nome King wouldn't like her. Knows that Liir's father died sacrificing himself to save a pregnant Breoit. Knows Scraps has Vinkun tattoos.

Knows Mor means mom.

Knows Liir has magic. Suspects its innate because Scraps's is. Knows he has visions of the past, can perform simple spell work, and somehow tap into Grimmery magic.

Boq:

Does not know Elphaba is Oscar's daughter.

Knows Elphaba and Nessa didn't always get along. Knows Frex was cruel to Elphaba. Knows Elphaba was passionate about Animal rights at Shiz, but unsure if that stuck through her 'wickedness'

Recently remembered that Nessa cast a spell on his heart first, before Elphaba turned him into the Tin Man. Slowly coming to terms with the idea that Elphaba saved him.

At first, believed Elphaba killed Fiyero because he refused to love her (like Nessa taking away Munchkin rights, but wickeder). Now knows Fiyero was killed by Gale Force and Elphaba was framed. That's also affected his opinion on her. If she was only trying to fix Nessa's mistake and she didn't kill Fiyero, what harm had she actually initiated. Was it all a series of misunderstandings? he knows the Wizard is a fraud, but Elphaba couldn't have always been a scapegoat. She was wicked, right?

Fully believes water melted Elphaba

Does not for a clock tick even suspect Liir is Elphaba's and Fiyero's

Knows Scraps and Liir are mother and son. Knows they both have magic. Knows Liir has visions and is apparently powerful enough to manipulate magic (maybe as strong as Nessa, he couldn't possibly be stronger)

Knows Nimmie and Scraps have become friends

Knows Ro killed Morrible

Is constantly baffled by Ro. He's shockingly wise, possibly and ancient Vinkun human, and was in love with a witch. A witch who, according to the Nome King, was incredibly powerful. He still considers Ro a friend, but he doesn't like the amount that the Scarecrow hid from him.

Nimmie:

Knows that Boq once was friends with the Wicked Witch of the West

Knows that Boq was cursed by both The Wicked Witch and Nessa

Is aware that the Wizard was a fraud but not the full story in explicit detail.

Does not know the Wicked Witch's motives besides what propaganda gave her

Believes the Wicked Witch was melted

Believes/knows Scraps was neglected and abused by her step-father as a child of an affair, was blackmailed and physically abused by her biological father and the people who worked for him, and that she fled Oz after Liir's father died trying to save her from her cruel father

Knows that Ro is a human who fell in love with someone at some point in time, was badly injured, and saved by this woman. Was told by Liir that he was a soldier and a good marksman, but is skeptical. Not as fooled as Boq by the brainless act, but still is fooled

Secretly ships Scraps and Ro, but won't say a word to Boq about it. She wants to see how this plays out.

Liir:

Knows the Wicked Witch of the West cursed the Tin Man.

Is aware the Wicked Witch interacted with the Scrow during the war

Only knows the Wicked Witch by her propaganda

Only knows Prince Fiyero by what the royal family said about him

Knows his mother had left the Vinkus to have him after witnessing his father's death

Knows his mother is a spell caster. Does not know the extent

Now knows his father died, possible through sacrificial means, to protect his mother

Knows that Fiyero is Ro. Does not know who cast the spell.

Finds Nastoya's 'joke' about him being Fiyero's kid ridiculous.

Does not know his mother is naturally green

Knows his mother mourned his father a lot

Knows his father was a Vinkun. Not sure which tribe.

I do but they're older and could use some updating.

Sketches of Grace, Rocky and Simon as I try and figure out how to draw and colour them.

I keep thinking of how the more comfortable and safe Simon becomes in his new life on Erid, his sillier side starts to show. He's allowed to explore and learn new things and have fun. Unadulterated fun he never got to experience as a kid.

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure -'Under Pressure' by David Bowie & Queen

The moment it starts to really sink in that you are in a safe place and allowed to live.
