Witch
At the age of three, Galinda had scandalised her social circle by deciding, apropos of nothing, that she wanted to be a witch.
The phase lasted several months. Galinda's parents were torn between worrying about their daughter's odd obsession and being pleased that she'd actually managed to keep her attention on one thing for more than five minutes at a time.
Witches, according to little Galinda, were so magical that they could fly, and talk to animals – and they never did what they were told.
In hindsight, Glinda thought, she should have wanted to be a wicked witch.
