For that reason, the Witch never tried to steal the Silver Shoes while Dorothy was sleeping. She is also afraid of the dark in Baum's original story for reasons unknown. Despite her immense power, she avoids face-to-face contact with her enemies, and is frightened of Dorothy at first when she sees the girl wearing the Silver Shoes. Her nature is a volatile and yet somewhat cowardly one. The Witch did not carry a broom in the novel, but rather an umbrella, which she uses on one occasion to strike Dorothy's dog Toto. However, the wicked witch Mombi is similarly disposed of in The Lost King of Oz and the wicked witch Singra is clearly afraid of the same fate in the early chapters of The Wicked Witch of Oz. Frank Baum did not explain precisely why water had this effect on her, nor did he ever imply that all evil witches could be likewise destroyed. Furthermore, when Toto had bitten her, she had not bled her wickedness had dried her up long ago. The Wicked Witch's dryness was enumerated in some clues before this. When she succeeds in acquiring one silver shoe by making Dorothy trip over an invisible bar, the little girl angrily throws a bucket of water onto the Wicked Witch. Upon seeing the Silver Shoes on the girl's feet, the Wicked Witch decides to steal them, and thereby acquire even more power.
She, therefore, settles for enslaving Dorothy, and tries to force the Cowardly Lion into submission by starving him, though Dorothy sneaks him food. Nevertheless, the old witch cannot kill Dorothy because the girl is protected by the Good Witch of the North's kiss. Each of these attempts was thwarted, but the protagonists are eventually subdued by the Witch's third and final permitted use of the winged monkeys. When Dorothy Gale and her companions were sent by the Wizard to destroy her, the Witch attacked them with her various creatures. Second, she made the winged monkeys drive Oz out of the Winkie Country, when he attempted to overthrow her. First, the witch commanded the creatures to help her enslave the Winkies and to seize control of the western part of the Land of Oz. She possesses the enchanted Golden Cap, which compels the winged monkeys to obey her on three occasions. She has a pack of 40 great wolves, a swarm of black bees, a flock of 40 crows, and an army of Winkies. Most of her power resides in the creatures she controls. Usually, she is shown wearing an eyepatch, however, some illustrations show her with two eyes. Other illustrators, such as Paul Granger, placed her eye in the center of her forehead, as a cyclops. 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. Denslow's illustrations for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depict her as a paunched old hag with three pigtails and an eyepatch. 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. Frank Baum's Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz. 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 the Wicked Witch of the North to conquer the Land of Oz and divide it among themselves, as recounted in L. In all versions, she is seriously aquaphobic. Her castle is described as beautiful instead of being the sinister fortress shown in the movie. The Wicked Witch of the West is the malevolent ruler of the Winkie Country. Illustration of the Wicked Witch of the West by William Wallace Denslow (From the original Baum publishing in 1900)

Hamilton's characterization introduced green skin and this has been continued in later literary and dramatic representations, including Gregory Maguire's revisionist Oz novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (1995) and its musical stage adaptation Wicked (2003), the 2013 film Oz the Great and Powerful, and the television series Once Upon a Time and Emerald City. The witch's most popular depiction was in the classic 1939 film based on Baum's novel, where she was portrayed by Margaret Hamilton.
In Baum's subsequent Oz novels, it is the Nome King who is the principal villain the Wicked Witch of the West is rarely even referred to again after her death in the first book.
