The Wicked Witch of the West poses the biggest threat to Dorothy Gale, because she covets the magical pair of slippers which previously belonged to her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East, and are now being worn by the hapless orphan from Kansas.
The Wicked Witch of the West is the one witch in all of Oz whom the Wizard of Oz fears after the Wicked Witch of the East is destroyed. Years earlier (prior to the start of Baum’s novel), the Wicked Witch of the West seized control of Winkie Country in the western part of Oz with the help of her Winged Monkeys. The Wizard has never dared to venture there since, considering himself quite vulnerable to her power.
Oz Fact: Baum’s Oz books, never once mentioned the Wicked Witch of the West’s skin color being green.

Oz Fact: The Wicked Witch of the East was a cruel sorceress who conquered and tyrannized Munchkin Country, making its poor citizens slave for her night and day. On the upside, she did have great taste in shoes.
