Just like the Munchkins, the Winkies cheered because the Witch was too dangerous to be left alive. As a result, the Wicked Witch met her end when she melted to death. Then Dorothy noticed a bucket of water, and tossed it to extinguish the fire on Scarecrow, but also splashed some on the Wicked Witch. When Dorothy and her friends were surrounded by guards, The Wicked Witch of the West set the Scarecrow on fire. However, just as the four friends were about to escape, The Wicked Witch of the West sent her Winkie Guards to chase after the heroes. The three friends disguised themselves as Winkie Guards and rescued Dorothy. The Wicked Witch of the West locked Dorothy in a room of the hourglass, but Toto escaped, barking for help to the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. The Flying Monkeys kidnapped Dorothy and Toto, taking them to the Wicked Witch's Winkie Castle. Her lackeys are Nikko, the Flying Monkeys and the Winkie Guards.

For clothing, she keeps her black dress and hat, with the inclusion of white skulls on her hat, as well as an additional cape.
