Dorothy Gale Dorothy is one of the non - playable characters in LEGO Dimensions from The Wizard of Oz franchise . Background . Dorothy is the main heroine of the story . Her best friend is Oz ' s ruler Princess Ozma . Dorothy first appears in Baum ' s classic children ' s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and reappears in most of its sequels . In addition , she is the main character in various adaptations , notably the classic 1939 movie adaptation of the book , The Wizard of Oz . In later books , Oz steadily becomes more familiar to her than her homeland of Kansas . Indeed , Dorothy eventually goes to live in an apartment in the Emerald City ' s palace but only after her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry have settled in a farmhouse on its outskirts , unable to pay the mortgage on their house in Kansas . Dorothy ' s best friend Princess Ozma , officially makes her a princess of Oz later in the book series . In the Oz books , Dorothy is an orphan raised by her aunt and uncle in the bleak landscape of a Kansas farm . Whether Aunt Em or Uncle Henry is Dorothy ' s blood relative remains unclear . Uncle Henry makes reference to Dorothy ' s mother in The Emerald City of Oz , possibly an indication that Henry is Dorothy ' s blood relative . Dorothy has a little black dog named Toto . Dorothy and Toto are swept away by a tornado to the Land of Oz and they enter an alternative world filled with talking creatures . She is often seen with her best friend and the ruler of Oz , Princess Ozma . Her trademark blue and white gingham dress is admired by the Munchkins because blue is their favorite color and white is worn only by good witches and sorceresses , which indicates to them that Dorothy is a good witch . Dorothy has a forthright and take - charge character , exhibiting no fear when she slaps the Cowardly Lion , and organizing the Winkies ' rescue mission of her friends who have been dismembered by the Winged Monkeys . She is not afraid of angering the Wicked Witch of the West , as shown when the Witch stole one of Dorothy ' s slippers , and in retaliation , Dorothy hurled a bucket of water over her , not knowing water was fatal to the witch . She brazenly rebuffs Princess Langwidere ' s threat to take her head for her collection — " Well , I b ' lieve you won ' t . " ( Following Anna Laughlin ' s portrayal of the character in the popular 1903 Broadway version of The Wizard of Oz , Baum scripts Dorothy to speak in childlike contractions with Ozma of Oz , which she continues to do throughout the series ) . This aspect of her character was somewhat lessened by her companionship of Ozma , in whom Baum placed the greater level of wisdom and dignity . Yet even this is complicated by her associations with her cousin , Zeb of Hugson ' s Ranch , a rugged , manly boy who does not take well to Oz and cannot think of anything much more interesting than defeating the Munchkins ' wrestling champion , which he proves unable to do . Dimensions Crisis . She , Toto , Scarecrow , Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion are first seen singing ' We ' re Off To See The Wizard Of Oz ' . Then they are confronted by Batman thinking that the scarecrow is his world ' s Scarecrow , but she recommended Batman to join them singing . Then Gale and her friends are sucked by a portal to the Foundation Prime . On the planet she encountered Lord Vortech , who takes her Ruby Slippers , the foundation element from the Wizard of Oz and imprisions her and the other with Robin , Frodo , and Metalbeard .
