Wicked Witch of the West
The Wicked Witch of the West is the malevolent ruler of the Winkie Country . Her castle is described as beautiful instead of being the sinister fortress shown in the movie . In all versions , she is seriously aquaphobic . The Wicked Witch of the West was not related to the Wicked Witch of the East , but leagued together with her , the Wicked Witch of the South and Mombi to conquer the Land of Oz and divide it among themselves , as recounted in L. Frank Baum 's Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz . She shows no interest in the death of the Eastern Witch , and all she cares about is obtaining the Silver Shoes which will increase her power . W.W. Denslow 's illustrations for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depict her as a paunched old hag with three pigtails and an eye - patch . L. Frank Baum himself specified that she only had one eye , but that it `` was as powerful as a telescope '' , enabling the witch to see what was happening in her kingdom from her castle windows . Other illustrators , such as Paul Granger , placed her eye in the center of her forehead , as a cyclops . Usually , she is shown wearing an eye patch , however some illustrations show her with two eyes .
