Biography[]
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz[]
In the original Oz books, Dorothy is an orphan who is raised by her aunt and uncle on a barren Kansas darm. Dorothy has a small black dog named Toto, which is always fairly close by her side. One day, Kansas is hit by an extremely devastating tornado which takes Dorothy to a strange place; The Land of Oz. Similar to Alice of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, they discover that they are in a landscape full of talking creatures.
In many of the Oz books, Dorothy is the main heroine of the story and is often seen with her "best friend" and the ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma. Her trademark blue and white gingham dress (also similar to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) is admired by the Munchkins because blue is their favorite color and white is worn only by good witches and sorceresses, which indicates to them that Dorothy is a good witch.
Dorothy has a forthright and take-charge character, exhibiting no fear when she slaps the Cowardly Lion, and organizing the Winkies' rescue mission of her friends who have been dismembered by the Winged Monkeys. She is not afraid of angering the Wicked Witch of the West, as shown when the Witch stole one of Dorothy's slippers, and in retaliation, Dorothy hurled a bucket of water over her, not knowing water was fatal to the witch. She brazenly rebuffs Princess Langwidere's threat to take her head for her collection — "Well, I b'lieve you won't." (Following Anna Laughlin's portrayal of the character in the popular 1903 Broadway version of The Wizard of Oz, Baum scripts Dorothy to speak in childlike contractions with Ozma of Oz, which she continues to do throughout the series). This aspect of her character was somewhat lessened by her companionship of Ozma, in whom Baum placed the greater level of wisdom and dignity. Yet even this is complicated by her associations with her cousin, Zeb of Hugson's Ranch, a rugged, manly boy who does not take well to Oz and cannot think of anything much more interesting than defeating the Munchkins' wrestling champion, which he proves unable to do.
