History[]

Billie as the Witch
The Wicked Witch of the West travels to Earth to hunt down a grown up Dorothy who, as a child, hid the key of Oz from her following her deal with the Wizard of Oz. Once she planned to obtain the key from Dorothy, the Wicked Witch of the West plans to take over Oz, then Neverland, Camelot, Wonderland, Shangri-La, and Narnia.
In this film, the Wicked Witch of the West is shown to be an ally of Princess Langwidere and the Nome King. To get close to her, the Witch disguises herself as a PR agent named Billie Westbrook seeking to represent Dorothy (whose 'Oz' books are becoming famous). Under the alias Billie Westbrook, the Witch slowly acclimatise to life on Earth (as being away from Oz "makes you forget" about magic) until her true identity is revealed by the Scarecrow causing her to regress to her true form and call forth her entire forces. When the Wicked Witch of the West obtains the key from Dorothy, she discovers a holographic message from the Wizard stating that she was given a fake book and that she has been tricked. When Dorothy gets through to the Witch's Billie half, the Wicked Witch of the West regresses back to Billie before fading away in a bright light. ("Dorothy and the Witches of Oz")
Notes[]
- Her surname hints at her true nature, as it contains the word West. The rest of her name is similar to Billie Burke, who ironically played Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, in the 1939 film.
- Her appearance seems to combine the Wicked Witch of the West in the novel and the 1939 film, with the eyepatch referencing the novel version and the overall look (including green skin) being a reference to the film version, while including original insertions to avoid trademark infringement.
- Billie's beauty and "mean girl" mannerisms are reminiscent of Queen Coo-ee-oh the Krumbic Witch from Glinda of Oz, whose name is given to a spoken spell in the miniseries.
- The first DVD release of the cinematic edit of Witches contains a subtitling error, as a few captions refer to the speaker as "Bobbie" rather than Billie.
