Character Biography

History
Discuss
Dorothy Gale was a very young girl (about age 12) who lived, at the end of the 19th century, on a sprawling farm ranch in Kansas in the heartland of America with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Dorthy was a very brave and clever girl for her young age, but more than this she was amazingly innocent, empathic, and sincere. A truly righteous and noble girl, she saw good in all things and even insisted upon mercy to enemies to the fullest extent that any law would allow.
After being whisked away in her house by a tornado, she was set down in the mysterious land of Oz, which was ruled by an equally mysterious person called the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy's main concern laid in her immediate return home. Dorothy was forced to obey the Wizard's command concerning the Wicked Witch of the West in order to return home. However, the idea of murdering even a wicked witch was appalling to Dorothy's sensabilities, and in the end her killing of the witch was truly by accident and not intent. Having killed both Wicked Witch of the West and her sister the Witch of the East she was finally sent home. She would later return to Oz on numerous occasions, where she would be crowned as an Ozian princess by the Great Princess Ozma, and eventually, together with her Uncle and Aunt, given permanent residency in Oz.
Dorothy Gale from Kansas is the young heroine of L. Frank Baum's Oz stories, best known probably by most people for her protrayal by Judy Garland in the 1939 classic.
