Full Name - Elphaba Thropp
Nicknames - Elphie, Fae
What are you- Student, (later on adult), sorceress
Age (throughout play) - around 17- 21
Overall Appearence - Elphaba has emerald green skin. It stands out and isn't hard to miss. It is something that makes her unique but also isolates her from others who are "normal" She has long black hair. It is layered and ends at mid-back. She usually has it in a braid. That is until Galinda put it down. She always has a pink flower she carries in her bag. She never wears it but it is something that she remembers Galinda by.
Her eyes are blue. They are windows to her soul. You can see her emotions easily in her eyes. Not like anyone looks at her eyes. They are all distracted by her green skin. She wears glasses (while at Shiz. They mysteriously disappeared later on). She wore a long dark blue dress while at Shiz with dark blue cheap flats. She always has a green elixer around with her that belonged to her mother.
Later on Elphaba also wears a black cloak and a black pointed hat. She brings her flying broomstick around with her and also uses it as a weapon to preform sorcery. She is around 5'6 and weighs normal for her age. She is found flying on her broomstick a lot. She also carries around a book of spells that only gifted few can read, understand, and successfully cast.
Personality -Elphaba is kind. She is nice to those who are nice to her. She cares deeply for her loved ones even if they mistreat her. She can be cruel to those who stare and insult her. That is because she feels neglected. Elphaba is very caring about animals and hates seeing someone or something abused. Elphaba is very insecure and low confidenced because of her appearance.
Elphaba is very studious and smart. She loves to read and loves having intellegent discussions. She is usually good at debates and loves to be right. She also likes proving people wrong. Elphaba gets into arguements a lot and stands up for herself. She doesn't let others walk over her. She will stand up for anything she believes in.
She is amazingly stubborn. Once she has her mind set on something she doesn't change it. She is very sarcastic and can be pessimistic sometimes. She doesn't care what others think of her. She constantly tries holding up an image of how brave she is. She is also powerful. She can't control herself and she acts out when upset or something unjust is happening. She hates being looked down on by others. She wants people to see her for what's on the inside not the outside. She also has a temper and gets angry easily.
History and Future -
Elphaba was born but turned out green. Her father was disgusted and her mother had no idea how it happened. Growing up was hard for her. Constantly not being approved of by her own family. Soon enough her own mother was pregnant again. Her parents feared there new baby would turn out green like Elphaba.
Her mother started to eat these flower seeds to prevent the color in the next daughter. But the seeds made her sister come fast and undeveloped. Elphaba's mother died giving birth to Nessarose. Nessa's legs were all twisted up when born. She was never able to walk.
Her father sympathized Nessa and spoiled her. She always got what she wanted while Elphaba always had one responsibility. To take care of her sister. It was obvious her father hated her. But she didn't blame him. Over the years Elphaba took it upon herself to be blamed for Nessa's disorder.
Over the years Elphaba only went to schools to take care of Nessa. Her father believed everything Nessa said and completely ignored Elphaba unless it was important. Elphaba soon discovered that she had powers. She didn't know how to control them but they would come whenever she was upset and angry.
When going to Shiz Elphaba had to room with Galinda. The two girls first loathed each other but soon became best friends after at the Oz Dust ballroom when Galidna stood up for her. Soon Elphaba started to show interest and had a crush on Galinda's boyfriend, Fiyero.
Elphaba became close with her professor, Dr. Dillamond. When he was taken away that upset her. Soon enough she was sent to the wizard because of her talents. She brought Glinda with her on the journey for support. She discovered things about him that ruined her whole image of him...
After that she was claimed Wicked Witch of the West. People sought her out for their own reasons. She turned Boq into tin to save his life. She also turned Fiyero into the scarecrow to save his. Then she faked her own death so she and Fiyero could run away together. She had yet to tell Galinda that she is alive.

Roleplay Sample -
Elphaba sat in her room staring out the window. She was going to be sent to Shiz. Not because she was witty, intellegent, or talented. Not because she had potential or was extreemely likeable. The only reason she was going was because she was forced to by her father. To watch over her dear little sister, Nessa.
Nessa was crippled and in a wheel chair. She was the youngest Thropp and the most loved. Elphaba knew her father liked Nessa more than her. It had been completely obvious. Nonetheless Elphaba was a little excited. She would get to go get an education. Even though it was about the 5th school she had been to. Was it 5 already or more? But she had a twinge of hope they might actually stay in this school.
Elphaba sat on the bed holding her pillow to her chest. She was looking at the green elixer on the bed. She narrowed her eyes. What was it? What did her mother do with it? Elphaba picked it up and examined it. The green as almost close to her green skin. She closed her eyes in pain. She hated her green skin. Looks don't matter. It is the person inside. she tried reminding herself.
Finally she heard her father call her. "Coming Father." she hollared. She hesitantly placed the potion in her suitcase. She wondered if it was wise to bring it with her. But it was the last thing she had of her mother's. She grabbed her suitcase and ran down the stairs to join her father and sister. It was time to go to Shiz
