* OmnicidalManiac: Azkadelia's master plan is to destroy the sun over the planet that she already rules, leading one to ask why? Unless she hates being the ruler of such a WretchedHive, or maybe she just wants complete revenge on all life, we'll never know. Her plan comes down to destroying all that she owns.

* {{Narm}}: "My life is a lie!" Oh, DG...
** Everyone calls her DG. Everyone, all the time. Even her mother, in extreme times of crisis, only refers to her by initials. Because the incredibly obvious not so clever reference her name is would be ruined if they actually gave her a name. So in one of the films climactic scenes the queen can only say "Deeeeegeeeee!"
*** Wasn't DG her ''actual given'' name? Erm, yeah.

As for the rest, Toto is a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent were-terrier]] who tutored DG and her sister in magic. The Wizard is split across 2 characters, one of whom is DG's real father, and the other of whom is a showman/oracle addicted to happiness-inducing vapors. Azkadelia went over to the dark side after being possessed by [[SealedEvilInACan the original Wicked Witch]]. And the whole series evidently takes place hundreds of years into Oz's future as the ''original'' Dorothy Gale is DG's earliest ancestor, who became a princess of OZ (that's the "Outer Zone" to you) in one of the few plot points that is actually in line with the original L. Frank Baum books.
