Gayelette

From Oz Wiki

Gayelette was a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress who once lived in a ruby palace in the northern part of the Land of Oz.

[edit] History

She was a good ruler, loved by her people, but was for a long time unable to find a mate equal to her beauty and wisdom. Eventually she found a handsome boy named Quelala whom she raised and groomed to be her husband, using her magic to make him strong and good and lovely. They were engaged to be married, and Gayelette spent half her kingdom to create a beautiful Golden Cap as a wedding present for him.

One day just before the wedding, the mischievous Winged Monkeys who lived nearby tossed Quelala into a river as a prank. The princess was very angry and punished the Winged Monkeys by making them three times the slaves to the owner of the Golden Cap. After the wedding, Quelala commanded the Winged Monkeys never to bother Gayelette again, and it can be presumed that the princess and her husband lived happily ever after. (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)
