Wicked Witch of the West

"The girl had to work hard during the day, and often the Witch threatened to beat her with the same old umbrella she always carried in her hand. But, in truth, she did not dare to strike Dorothy, because of the mark upon her forehead. The child did not know this and was filled with fear for herself and her beloved dog, Toto. Once, the Witch struck Toto with her umbrella, provoking the brave little dog to retaliate and bite the Witch’s leg in response. However, the Witch did not bleed from the bite, for she was so wicked that the blood in her had dried up many years before." - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900).
