Dorothy Gale was a human girl, many versions of whom travelled to, and in some cases, settled in, the Land of Oz.

Description

Physical appearance

Ozma was typically tall and, as the ruler of Oz, wore a golden crown or circlet. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in Oz, A Series of Queer Events) In at least one universe, she had light hair. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in Oz) In at least one universe, Oshe often emitted a bright magical aura. During Pride Month, she wore “a gown comprised of the blues, whites, and pinks commonly found in the trans flag”. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events)

Personality

Ozma was a wise and highly benevolent ruler to Oz, which she governed according to socialist principles. She was also noted to be “oddly forgiving”, notably pardoning Oscar Diggs for stealing her away as a child and selling her to Mombi after he simply apologised. Due to her experiences with a magical form of gender dysphoria, as well as her romantic relationship with Dorothy Gale, she had a strong commitment to LGBTQ issues and an abiding love for Pride Month that did not sit easy with it being hypocritically commercialised. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events)

Powers & abilities

In some universes, Ozma was a powerful magic user, capable of travelling inside a flying, translucent bubble. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events) At any rate, she possessed the Magic Picture, a magical framed picture capable of showing anything its owner wished. This allowed her to keep tabs on any important events in the land. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in Oz)

Biography

Visited by Acquaintanceship

One universe's version of Dorothy lived in her version of Oz by the time it was visited by Acquaintanceship-982. She lived in the Emerald Palace with Ozma as well as many other friends and attendants, such as her original Kansas pets Toto and Billina.

When the Imps Olite, Udent and Ertinent, who had been transformed into three metal buttons by the Wizard of Oz and Ozma many years earlier, returned to their true forms and escaped, they found their old master, the witch Blinkie, who had lost her powers, and, on her orders, stole Dorothy's Magic Belt. To avoid discovery, Blinkie used the power of the Belt to make Ozma and the Wizard forget the imps had ever existed (though the enchantment was partially blocked by Glinda), while the Imps returned to the Palace to steal Ozma's Magic Picture and disassemble the Red Wagon, also stealing Glinda's Great Book of Records. Unsure what to do, Ozma convened a great number of her friends and acquaintances to a room on the first floor the Palace to discuss the situation, including the Wizard, Dorothy, Toto, Tik-Tok, General Omby Amby, Jellia Jamb, the Glass Cat, Trot, the Sawhorse, the Shaggy Man, the Gump, Flipper, Eureka, the Scarecrow, the Lonesome Duck, Cap'n Bill, Jack Pumpkin Head, the Hungry Tiger, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodman, Billina, Ojo, the Woozy, the Woggle-Bug. Also brought to the meeting by mistake was Acquaintanceship-982, who had been mistaken for Tik-Tok by General Amby. The group decided to use Acquaintanceship-982's Fog Ship to quickly comb through the Land.

They first landed in Munchkin Country, where the possé met the Phonograph of Oz, who had spotted the imps. Thanks to the Phonograph's directions, Acquaintanceship knew to fly towards Quadling Country, but on the way through the forest which separated the two Countries, they were attacked by three kalidahs. After evading them, they reached the mountains of Jinxland, where they found not only the imps, but also Blinkie. Gloating, the Wicked Witch unveiled a field full of hundreds of imp statues, which she intended to bring to life as an unstoppable army using the Powder of Life. Acquaintanceship attempted to romanticise Blinkie right there and then, but his shot missed and instead knocked the bottle Powder out of her hands. Taking his chance, Acquaintanceship grabbed the bottle and ran off with it into his Fog Ship, but Blinkie (who had yet to realise he had the Powder and thought he was just escaping) used the Belt to cause him to crash into the forest, and transformed most of the Ozites into various objects, with only Dorothy managing to escape by hiding behind a large rock.

Acquaintanceship was unharmed, however, although his Ship was down. Out of other options, he used some of the Powder of Life to attempt to repair his Ship, with the effect of bringing it to life as a sentient entity. Startled, he dropped the rest of the Powder onto his bow and arrows, which similarly came to life. Together, they returned to Jinxland and, with Dorothy's help, managed to romanticise Blinkie and the Imps, who subsequently apologised to everyone and returned the magical items. However, the Ship's inexperience with flying itself caused it to crash again with Acquaintanceship itself, injuring him this time. With the Bow and Arrows finding them, however, the Imps worked with Tik-Tok to repair both of them. Healed, Acquaintanceship was offered the chance to stay in the Emerald Palace as a permanent resident but turned it down, unlike the Ship, Bow and Arrows, with Ozma decreeing that the Disagreeable Arrow would get a quiet room to himself.

At the Interdimensional Pride Parade

In one version of Oz, slightly older-looking versions of Dorothy and Ozma were girlfriends. Dorothy attended Jenny Over-There and Dynamite Thor's 2022 Pride Month celebration at Professor Helvetius's Convenient Pride Decorations Shop and held hands throughout the night.

Behind the scenes

Ace, who has also appeared in Jenny Everywhere media, was originally written as having the birth name “Dorothy Gale”, and she initially left Earth by being whisked off by a temporal storm, making her seemingly a genuine, if very distinctive, multiversal variation of the original Dorothy. Later continuity obscured this by instead construing Ace's name as “McShane” with “Gale” as a mere middle-name. At any rate, the connection has yet to be acknowledged in any stories covered by this Wiki.
