FanArt: The Life of Elphaba: Wicked Witch of the West

This eight paneled sketch is based on "Wicked," a fascinating fictional biography of the Wicked Witch of the West -- or in other words, her side of the story. The series of events I've shown mostly follows the musical "Wicked," though there are some influences from Gregory Maguire's book (which is awesome!) and MGM's classic "The Wizard of Oz." They are as follows:

Panel 1: Elphaba -- the "real" name of the Wicked Witch of the West -- as an infant.
Panel 2: College-aged Elphaba arriving at Shiz University, aka "Dear Ole Shiz."
Panel 3: Elphaba boogying with Galinda (the future Glinda the Good, not a typo) at the hip Ozdust Ballroom. Can you guess who the mysterious figure on the stairs is?
Panel 4: Elphaba leaving the Emerald City, determined to seek revenge on the fraud Wizard.
Panel 5: Elphaba in her lab with the Grimmerie, gently attaching wings to Chistery the snow monkey.
Panel 6: Elphaba and her beloved Fiyero, making the most of what short time they have together.
Panel 7: Elphaba's infamous murder, unintentially caused by the hapless other-worldly farmgirl Dorothy.
Center Panel: The Witch's Grimmerie, broom, gazing ball, and the cause of Elphaba's grief and inevitable distruction; the silver (ruby) slippers.
