Dorothy Gale is the main protagonist of The Wizard of Oz franchise, written by the late L. Frank Baum, first appearing in the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

History[]

Dorothy's name is a loosely based version of "Theodore" which means "Gift of the Gods". "Dorothy", therefore, as a female companion to Theodore would translate to "Goddess of Gifts". She was born before the turn of the twentieth century on June 10, year unknown. She shares her birthday with her iconic 1939 movie musical counterpart portrayed by Judy Garland. Like Garland, her Zodiac sign is Gemini. Surprisingly, her last name isn't revealed in the original 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It was not mentioned until the 1902 stage version of the story Baum created after the book's publication and subsequent success; "My name is Dorothy Gale. I'm one of the Kansas Gales. " To which the Scarecrow replies, "Well, that explains your breezy manner. " In the later Oz books, Baum kept the name but mercifully spared his readers the pun.

In the film, she once contracted the measles, but thankfully her aunt helped her recover. Little else is known about her past in that continuity.

The many people Dorothy liberated and befriended had many more adventures after her departure. Each of her three traveling companions became the ruler of a country within the land. The Scarecrow (with his new brains) temporarily became the King of Oz to rule over Oz's Imperial Capital a.k.a. the Emerald City, until the long-lost rightful ruler, the Princess Ozma, was eventually found. The Tin Woodman (with his new heart) replaced the Wicked Witch of the West and became the monarch emperor to rule over the Winkie Country. And last but not least, the Cowardly Lion (with his new courage) became King of the Beasts and went to live in the wildernesses of Oz to rule over the animal kingdom, later aided by his best friend the Hungry Tiger.

Despite her vow to never leave home again, Dorothy made three more trips to the Land of Oz until ultimately deciding to reside there permanently. Each time Dorothy landed in a different enchanted neighbor country before returning to Oz proper.

Personality[]

Dorothy is a sweet, good-natured, and kind-hearted 8-year old-girl. She shows kindness such as freeing the Scarecrow from his pole, sticking up for the Cowardly Lion after the Wizard bellowed at him, and helping the Tin-Man after he fell in the Haunted Forest. Dorothy is also sensitive such as when Miss Gulch took Toto away from her, being trapped in the Witch of the West's castle, and when the "Wizard" betrayed her by leaving in his hot-air balloon without her. Dorothy though can be outspoken. She shows this by confronting Miss Gulch and the Lion respectively as well as the Wizard for bellowing at the Lion.

Dorothy is a very brave and courageous princess. She's got an extremely kind heart, and will always help her friends out of danger. Aside from her cheerful nature, Dorothy very rarely gets angry. But this happened when Wilhelmina controlled her emotions with a mood ring. And before the wicked Nome King turned Dorothy into a white cat. However, aside from all this, Dorothy is sweet, quick-thinking, helpful, friendly and amicable. And she's always willing to help out her friends, introduce the Ozians to customs from back in Kansas and fight the forces of evil in Oz
