Shadow
Nessarose had spent her entire life in Elphaba's shadow. Nessarose knew she was the prettier, more intelligent, more likable sister, and yet her freakish-looking, deliberately atheistic, anti-social sister constantly got all the attention going.
Alright, yes, Nessarose was crippled, but at least she wasn't green.
Alright, so Elphaba consistently earned higher grades than she did, but anyone who so vehemently denied the existence of the Unnamed God couldn't be intelligent.
Besides, Nessarose reasoned, no-one really intelligent would believe that a single girl could possibly defy the Wizard.
Finally out of Elphaba's shadow, Nessarose spread her own over all of Munchkinland.
