Ozma
Queen Ozma was the rightful ruler of the Land of Oz.
Description
Physical appearance
In at least one universe, Ozma appeared as “a tall figure” wearing a crown, often emitting 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.

Biography
Saving Interdimensional Pride
One version of Ozma was abducted as a baby by Oscar Diggs, who wanted to take over the Land of Oz himself and wanted the rightful heir out of the way. He sold her to the witch Mombi, who transformed her into a boy to better evade suspicion. As a result, Ozma grew up as functionally trans, only later discovering her true gender and returning to living as a girl. She eventually retook the throne, and forgave the older Diggs after he apologised.
By June 2022, she had grown into a tall young woman, and was in a relationship with Dorothy. She hurried to the Diggs estate when Diggs warned her that the Man in Grey was corrupting the Interdimensional Pride Council with unethical, hypocritical sponsorship deals from the likes of Dibbsy and Kablamazon. Arriving in full magical regalia, she ended up banning the Man in Grey from the Land.
A week later, Ozma and Dorothy attended the pride party organised at Professor Helvetius's Convenient Pride Decorations Shop by Jenny Over-There and Dynamite Thor, as did the “four cardinal witches” of Oz, and apparently held hands through the evening. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events)
Behind the scenes
The trans themed dress in A Series of Queer Events alludes to Ozma's canonical childhood identity of Tip, a boy who grew up unaware of his true identity, family, and gender.
