# Princess Ozma — The Marvelous Land of Oz character guide

> Princess Ozma in The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

**Role:** major

**Also known as:** Ozma, little Ozma, Princess Ozma of Oz, the Princess Ozma, Queen Ozma

**First appearance:** 0024-the-transformation-of-old-mombi

## Snapshot

The rightful heir to Oz's throne, hidden from the world by magic and sought by Glinda long before anyone knows her name.

## Who they are

Ozma is the missing piece in every argument about who should rule — the daughter Pastoria left behind, whose existence Glinda forces the Scarecrow to confront. Her fate is tangled with Mombi's transformations and the Wizard's three visits, secrets the old witch refuses to surrender even under threat of death. The search for her turns a squabble over a stolen throne into a question of legitimacy, and the answer reshapes Oz entirely.
