(Of course, to hear them tell it, it is the surviving sister who is the crazy one. What a Witch. Psychologically warped; possessed by demons. Insane. Not a pretty picture.)
Pretty is as pretty does, and Elphaba's not the sort to bother to behave in any manner other than what suits her at the time.
(She was castrated at birth. She was born hermaphroditic, or maybe entirely male. She was deprived of a mother's love, is how I've heard it. She was an abused child. She was addicted to medicine for her skin condition. She has been unlucky in love like the rest of us. She's a woman who prefers the company of other women.)
She does come out, sometimes, to sit and read--which is not, really, much different than what she does alone, but she's never cared for company for company's sake. Talk too often is merely gossip.
(She's the spurned lover of a married man. She is a married man. She's a despot. A dangerous tyrant. I hear she's a champion of home rule for the so-called Winkies)
The Lives of the Saints is the book of the night. Frex read taught her to read from it.
If you accuse her of nostalgia, you might be right, but she won't admit it.
