## History

### Early life

Zelena was abandoned in the woods by her mother, Cora, a woman who lusted for power. She was later sent through the portal of a twister to Oz, landing in the magical land. Zelena later is adopted by a woodcutter and his wife. The wife is blind and does not believe that the baby is magical while the father (thinking his new daughter cute at first) realizes she is nothing but a witch.

Many years later, after her mother died, Zelena was verbally and physically abused by her father. Around twelve years old in 1947, Zelena came across Cora, unaware the woman was her biological mother. She later befriended her half-sister Regina when they were young, and learned they were related. However, Cora separated them and sent Zelena back to Oz, giving her a potion that made her forget all about Regina. After having enough of her father, Zelena left to look for her biological family, bujt she was soon spoiled and hated her mother for abandoning her and later became determined to ruin her half-sister's happiness, but also her existence.

Sometime over the course in Oz, Glinda invites Zelena to come join their circle of "sisters" along with the Witch of the East and the Withc of the North. However, when Dorothy Glae arives in Kansas, Zelena starts turning green again. After realizing that Dorothy will be out of her way, Zelena banishes Glinda to the Enchanted FOrest and takes over control of Oz.

Many years later, Dorothy returns to Oz in order to bring down Zelena. During this time, she meets Hades the Lord of the Dead after scareing off the Munchkins. The romance between them blossoms, but Zelena cannot let him love her, in fear that her revenge will never be completed. Zelena sends him away, warning him to never show his face to her again.

## Powers

**Magic:** Since birth, Zelena was born with a strong affinity for magic and has displayed many powers over the years. However, she was temporarily left without her powers for a good part of eighteen years in order to help Emma and the rest of their family defeat the Black Fairy. With her daughter Robin's consent, Zelena's powers were restored when she absorbed Robin's magic after getting it out of the resurrection amulet, making her complete yet again.

* **Transformation:** Zelena is able to transform one object or individual into another.  She turned innocent people into flying monkeys to do her bidding and transformed Lumiere into a candelabra in order to trick Belle and Neal into resurrecting The Dark One.
* **Conjuration:** At a young age, Zelena could create anything with her magic. As she was shaving her father's beard one morning, she accidentally scarred him with the blade. She conjured a handkerchief out of thin air to wipe the blood.
* **Energy Blasts**
* **Healing spells**
* **Locator Spells**
* **Magical Immobilization:** As a child, Zelena thought she immobilized her father with her magic. In Season 3, Zelena used her powers to immobilize all the individuals in the room, except for Belle. She is powerful enough to immobilize even Regina.
* **Mirror Enchantments:** Like Regina, Zelena uses a mirror enchantment spell to spy on her enemies. She often used this trick to spy on her sister when she was training with Rumpelstiltskin.
* **Pyrokinesis:** Zelena has the ability to create green balls of fire
* **Shapeshifting**

* **Healing:** As a child, Zelena used her magic to heal her half-sister, Regina when she hurt herself with their mother's magical wand, that was too powerful

**Potioncraft: Z**elena successfully created a memory potion that helped her keep the memories of the past year as the second Curse was coming. It was so powerful Emma was able to regain her memories of her time in Storybrooke. However, it was so strong, that Regina could not find a way to replicate the potion.
