Biography[]
History[]
Dulcibear with a newborn Elphaba Thropp.
Dulcibear was present for the birth of Elphaba Thropp, the first of Governor Thropp's two daughters (though not biologically related to him), tasked with being one of Mrs. Thropp's midwives. When the Governer rejected the child due to her green skin color and volatile magic, Dulcibear stepped in and raised Elphaba in his stead.
She remained in the service of the Governer's family, raising her adopted child alongside Elphaba's half-sister Nessarose, and helping to raise her as well. Though she did not directly stand up against the Governer's obvious favoritism between his two children, Dulcibear did take Elphaba's side when she was wrongly maligned, however quietly.
