Idina Menzel aka Elphaba from Wicked (April Rhoades is played by her costar from Wicked, Kristin Chenoweth)
In Wicked there are really not any wicked witches, just misunderstood girls with magical powers. Elphaba is a college student who was born green and was loved by no one. Because of this, she was considered misunderstood. Being misunderstood and unloved gave her a bitter feeling and she became the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch of the East is Elphaba's younger sister who was once paralyzed. Her name is Nessarose. She becomes wicked in an act of selfishness in trying to save her boyfriend from death. None of the typical witches are wicked. The wicked witch of the west is Elphaba is just missunderstood and that's what the whole musical is about. Then there is Nessarose who is Elphaba's sister but she is seen as the wicked witch of the east because she made a selfish descision to keep her love. Then of course there is Glinda, who isn't really Wicked but very selfish sometimes and a little bit self-centered.

Elphaba Thropp is not wicked in "Wicked."Instead, it is Elphaba's reputation that becomes wicked. The reason lies in the rumors spread against her by such powerful enemies as the Wizard and Madame Morrible. Some people believe the lies and rumors just because Elphaba is quite different with her green skin. Others fear the consequences if they try to defend her or put a stop to the character defamation.
Yup =) But he doesn't find out until the end of Wicked.
Her and her sister were from the province of Munchkin land.
