Author's Note: Weird idea here: what if Glinda was green and Elphaba was the normal girl groomed to be an elite? Well this is what I think would happen. Also I made Glinda's hair black because blonde hair and green skin would probably not look too good. Very book universe inspired and most definitely Glephie so if you were hoping for anything else don't hold your breath.
Prologue: The Unnamed God's Mistakes
Once there was a tale of two witches: one good one evil and that was, in a manner the short and sweet of it. However, there exists a realm where the lines are blurred and roles reversed. In this world a one Glinda Upland grew up in a cottage in The Glikkus hidden away from most and Elphaba Thropp was being taught to be the next great Thropp in Munchkin Land.
Simply put the two's families and births had been fundamentally changed. The no longer green Miss Elphaba and her parents were able to live happily as rulers of the Munchkin Land but in a manner it seems their good fortune came at the cost of the Uplands' life of luxury. Due to a horrible scandal her family was rejected from society in Gillikin and fled to the mountains for refuge. There Glinda was born in similar fashion to the mysterious birth of the original green Wicked Witch and was likewise of a similar verdigris.
It truly seemed like The Unnamed God's mistake to give these two women such roles as the bubbliness of Glinda was something she had always come by honestly and Elphaba's bookish nature was the same. The two seemed more fit for each other's roles far better but despite all that they lived the lives they were assigned to the best of their abilities and both came to know each other on the beginning of their life at Shiz.
