What happens in Elphaba Thropp's life so that she ends up with the reputation as the Wicked Witch of the West is the plot of the novel "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954).
Specifically, the novel tells how Elphaba has an uphill fight being born with green skin. She is compassionate towards her family even though she is treated differently than her spoiled younger sister Nessarose. She manages to get into Shiz University, but is at a disadvantage what with ending up as the roommate of the ambitious, beautiful, popular Glinda. She neglects her studies in favor of activism for the rights of sentient animals such as Dr. Dillamond, a goat professor at Shiz. She suffers a breakdown after the love of her life, Fiyero, disappears during a bloody struggle with the Wizard's thugs. She travels with her presumed son to Fiyero's homeland and devotes herself to Fiyero's wife and children until appearing to die from being drenched in water from the bucket of Dorothy Gale, a Kansas visitor to the magical lands of Oz.
