Best Answer

Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz is a courageous, likeable little girl who never gives up on her dream of getting her and her pet dog Toto back home to her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, and who understands the meaning of friendship, because she sees to it that the dreams of her friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion come true too.

The Apples in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz may have been as delicious on the ground as they were still on the branch, but they were less likely to have little green worms when they were still attached to the tree.

Dorothy Gale went with her pet dog Toto to the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. She accidentally killed the Wicked Witch of the East when her family's farmhouse landed on top of, and killed the Witch. She received the thanks and welcome of the Munchkins of the Blue Country of the East. For the Munchkins were relieved to be released from the Witch's rule. She got the protective mark from the kiss of the Good Witch of the North on her forehead, and the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. She made friends with the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. She got the Stork to rescue the Scarecrow from where he was stranded in a wide stream. She got to have an audience for her, Toto, and their three friends, with the Wizard of Oz. She killed the Wicked Witch of the West, by throwing a bucket of water and thereby melting her into nothingness. She rescued the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman from where the Winged Monkeys had left them, destrawed and broken, respectively. She got the requests of her three friends carried out - albeit for show, with no real content - by the Wizard. She had a chance to get herself and Toto back to Kansas by way of a hot air balloon ride with the Wizard. But Toto jumped out, Dorothy ran to catch her pet, and the two couldn't get back into the basket before the balloon took off. She usedthe Golden Cap to the benefit of her, Toto, and their three friends. She got Glinda the Good Witch of the South to use the Cap on behalf of the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. And then she contributed to the freeing of the Winged Monkeys, because Glinda gave them the Cap and their freedom. And she and Toto got back home.

'Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal' is the first, full sentence in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz'. Specifically, it begins the book's 'Introduction'. But 'Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife' is the way in which author and Royal Histories of Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919] begins the first chapter, 'The Cyclone'.

That she is energetic, kind, loyal, petite, practical, straightforward, thoughtful and wears her hair in two side ponytails is a way in which Dorothy Gale may be described in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, Dorothy Gale practically directs her energy to doing what it takes to gets herself and her pet dog Toto back home. She is kind and loyal to her three new friends the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. She is straightforward with friends and with such questionable people as the Wicked Witch of the West and the Wizard. Her appearance matches her personality in that her hair is practically but charmingly tied into two long ponytails on either side of her face, and what with all her energy she is small and in shape.
