The Wicked Witch of the West
Zelena Mills
PERSONALITY It's safe to say that if Zelena were the embodiment of one of the seven deadly sins, she would be envy. Though she has come by this trait through years of neglect and punishment for a gift she had no control over having. She is desperate for somewhere to belong and people that want her though she takes things too far, by forcing herself into places and with people that might have welcomed her if she had only allowed them to make that choice for themselves. She is frightfully insecure about her gifts and her need to be loved and wanted along with her jealousy tends to over-ride any other thought or path she might have taken. She has embraced her wicked self because whoever else she could have been was never nurtured. Zelena wants to be loved. Once upon a time she knew how to love properly. She wants to give love and feel like she has a home. She has convinced herself that a happy ending, even if it is a lie, is better than continuing to be lost and alone. On the other hand she's very smart and determined. She's also manipulating and calculating. She doesn't believe in limits and doesn't allow them for herself, no matter what she is faced with. She can be gentle when she needs to be, and compassionate when it suits her. She can play a fairly convincing good person for a time, before her true colors show. HISTORY Zelena was given up by Cora and left to herself in the woods when she was born so her mother could find better circumstances for herself. She first arrived in Oz by a green cyclone when she was only a month or two old. She had control over her powers even then. Her adopted mother immediately wanted her but her new father was afraid of her powers and never fully bonded with his new daughter. When her mother died she was left alone with a man that taught her to hide all of her pain and disappointment, mostly at his hands. She decided to leave when she could not take it anymore. Out in the world there had to be something more than this for her. That was how she found Walsh in the Emerald City and he showed her that she had a sister. And her sister had the same gift she did. She saw how Regina was loved, how she benefited from from being tutored by Rumplestiltskin. Jealousy and anger filled her, making her crave everything she had been denied in her life. Everything that was given to her sister. She went to the Enchanted Forest and was trained by Rumple, but ultimately fell short of being the one he needed. That sent her spiraling further down into her depression and jealousy and she turned that toward getting revenge on him for rejecting her and Regina for taking everything she wanted and was denied and taking it all for granted. She got herself to Storybrooke after the new curse was cast, taking everyone's memory. She took the dagger and commanded Rumple, turning him against everyone he cares for in an effort to change time so that Regina would never be born and she would be the one to cast the curse. She was thwarted by Regina who displayed white magic and saved everyone. Rumple killed her in revenge for taking his freedom. But she wasn't gone. Zelena escape to take her revenge, going after and seducing Robin Hood in revenge against her sister, with plotting to pay the others back in time. RP SAMPLE "That, that Witch!" How dare Regina make a fool of her during their first clash? It was gratifying to know that she had more power than her little sister did, but that hardly helped ease the sting that she was outsmarted and didn't get what she came for. She needed that heart for her spell or it would never work and she was getting impatient with the last few she needed to collect. It should have been easier. She wanted to make an example of her sister, which she had, in a way, but it wasn't enough. She paced the storm cellar in front of Rumple's cage, fuming. Her heart was hammering in her chest, beating wildly with her rage. She shook her head while he watched, and he did not look nearly as sympathetic as he should. Of course she didn't expect that, not without being commanded, but if he had sense he wouldn't say anything to her about the evening's events. She'd put up with his naysaying while she was winning but God help him when she wasn't. "I swear I'll burn this city to the ground if I have to in order to get her heart." Where had she hidden it? Where could she have possibly put her heart that she thought it was safe? No, of course, there was only one place, one person she saw her sister was coming to trust, foolish though that decision was. Lucky for her he had a weakness that she could exploit. |
