More commonly known as the Wicked Witch of the East, Nessarose ruled as the Governor of Munchkinland from the time of her father's death, until her own untimely demise when a house carrying Dorothy Gale fell on her.
Born with paralyzed legs, Nessa was the younger sister of Elphaba - the Wicked Witch of the West, who cared for her all through out her youth. She attended Shiz University as the special ward of Madame Morrible, where she met Boq who would become her private secretary and the love of her life. It was to keep him with her (Boq was in love with Glind Upland) that she began restricting Munchkin rights, including their freedom to leave Munchkinland.
On her first day at Shiz Nessarose's father Frex gave her a pair of jeweled shoes. Years later Elphaba enchanted the shoes to allow her sister to walk, thus bestowing on them the tremendous power that eventually allowed Dorothy Gale to return to Kansas.
