062. Vanity
Elphaba had never cared for her looks or for what people said about her, for her 'image'. She didn't want to force people to think certain things about her. Let them think what they want, she didn't care.
Galinda, on the other hand, needed to look perfect at all times, at all costs. Perfection, she decided, was a virtue. Patience could wait.
Elphaba was the one who started the rumours about the Witch. Would she melt if water touched her? Did she indeed have an extra eye? She snorted.
Perhaps, she mused, it is a kind of vanity after all.
