Nowell's Family Tree

Nowell is a writer's dream. :) He is so easy to write about, it's as if the information just flows out of me from some unknown source. Case in point, I did a little work up of his family tree to help with some writing I was doing. It's embellished from what the movie suggests, and helps to flesh out the family and explain why they have the powers they do. (Note: Black lines are blood relations while blue indicated marriage).

I posited that the Gale family has gotten their magic directly from Glinda the Good's line. Her son Cadel married Dorothy, beginning a line of magically-inclined rulers. From there the heirs were all female, and married within the OZ's society. Glinda II (known only as "lavender eyes" in the show) married Ahamo and had DG and Azkadellia. DG married Renato, the son of the Mystic Man (the "Wizard") and had Nowell and Nur. So that makes Nowell the first son of the Gale line as well as a mix of the Mystic Man's genes and Glinda's.

Confused yet? :P
