Dorothy Too. This is weird because I once played her in a school play. Dont ask! just know that it took years of beating people up before they’d stop calling me Dorothy… if I had known what it really meant maybe I wouldn’ve minded so mcuh: "Dorothy The unlikely hero whose time has come. You have a heart of gold and usually look for the best in people. While you have a strong sense of justice, you also care a great deal about others and their well-being. Your optimism can make you seem naive, but this helps you to see purpose in a cause after others have given up. Never stop improving the world! " Psychology Masters here I come! ---

Glinda I’m freaking Glinda. Now I have to go out buy a nice blue dress, do you know how hard it is going to be to find slippers in a men’s size 12? On the bright side I get all the midgets I can eat. ---

Well, I started out as Glinda, became Auntie Em, and then lied like the rug under my feet and turned into: **TOTO**. _pant pant_ “You’re an extreemly lovable person. Your happy-go-lucky nature will help you and your friends through many hard times in life, but your impulsiveness can cause problems if left unchecked. When riding hot air balloons, be sure to stay in the basket.” Heh. ---

I’m **Glinda** , lucky me. You have been gifted with special talents and abilities. These are an honor, but also a burden. Throughout your life many people will come to you for help. Some will be your friends. Some will be your enemies. Some will be total strangers to you. When deciding whether to help these people remember that you have a responsibility to leave the world a better place than it was when you found it. Remember also that when you show kindness to others, you will often inspire in them a desire to pass on the good will. ---
