<Li> In Alexander Melentyevich Volkov's The Wizard of the Emerald City, The Witch's name is Gingema . Like in the 1939 movie, the two Wicked Witches are sisters . In Magic Land, she is summoning a magical hurricane to destroy all humanity . However, the Good Witch of the North learns of her schemes, and changes the spell to only affect one house and drop it on Gingema's head . Unlike in Baum's books, while being the formal ruler of the Munchkins, she interfered little in their lives, and only demanded that people collect food for her . Since her food was snakes, leeches, spiders, and other similarly disgusting creatures which the Munchkins were afraid of, that was nevertheless a heavy burden for them . The name Gingema was also used for the Wicked Witch of the East in March Laumer's novel Aunt Em and Uncle Henry in Oz . </Li> <Li> In the Broadway musical, The Wiz, the Wicked Witch of the East is named Evvamene ("Ever mean") and terrorizes the Munchkins . </Li> <Li> In the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by author Gregory Maguire, and in the hit musical version, the Wicked Witch of the East is portrayed as a beautiful but physically disabled young woman called Nessarose Thropp; Nessa is the sister of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, whose paralysis is caused by her father's attempt to make her mother eat milkflowers to ensure that her second child would not be born with Elphaba's green skin . The silver shoes, originally a gift from their father, were enchanted by Galinda to allow Nessarose to walk without assistance (in the novel, she is born without arms, affecting her balance; in the musical, in her premature birth caused by the milkflowers, her legs came out "all tangled", leaving them permanently paralyzed .) </Li> <Li> In the novel The Unknown Witches of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the East is named Old Sand - Eye . </Li>
