  • Elphaba Thropp is a fictional character in Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, as well as in the Broadway and West End adaptations, Wicked. In the original L. Frank Baum book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West is unnamed and little is explained about her life. Elphaba is modeled after the Witch portrayed by Margaret Hamilton in the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz: Green-skinned, clad entirely in black, and wearing a tall peaked hat. Maguire formulated the name "Elphaba" out of L. Frank Baum's name, taking the phonetic pronunciation of his initials: hence, L.F. B became El-pha-ba. In both adaptations, Elphaba is also called by several nicknames including Elphie, Fabala, Sister (Saint) Aelphaba, and Fae.
  • Elphaba è un personaggio immaginario del romanzo Strega - Cronache del regno di Oz in rivolta dello scrittore americano Gregory Maguire, meglio conosciuta come protagonista del musical di Broadway del 2003 “Wicked di Stephen Schwartz. Il personaggio è basato su quello della Malvagia strega dell'ovest del romanzo del 1900 Il meraviglioso mago di Oz di L. Frank Baum. Nel libro e nel musical Elphaba mantiene le stesse caratteristiche che ha nel film del film del 1939: ha la pelle verde e si veste sempre di nero. Il nome di Elphaba deriva dalle prime lettere di lettere di quello di L. Frank Baum (L. Frank Baum).
  • Elphaba est le nom donné à la méchante sorcière de l'Ouest par Gregory Maguire dans sa série de romans sur le pays d'Oz (à ce jour, deux romans ont été publiés). Dans les romans de L. Frank Baum, la méchante sorcière de l'Ouest n'avait pas de nom; elle était seulement dénommée Sorcière (Witch) ou Méchante Sorcière (Wicked Witch). Le nom que lui a donné Maguire est un hommage à L. Frank Baum : Elphaba est un diminutif de L. Frank Baum. L'apparence dérive du film réalisé par Flemming en 1938, Le magicien d'Oz, dans lequel la méchante sorcière de l'Ouest, interprétée par Margaret Hamilton, apparait comme une femme verte, munie d'un chapeau pointu.
