Wicked: The Complete Genderswap
LiaNeu for G(a)linda Upland (speaking voice)
Galinda is your typical spoiled rich kid. He is adored by everyone who meets him, with the exception of Elphaba, his unexpected and unwelcomed roommate. He is a bit of an airhead, but for the most part, he is also kind and caring. After Fiyero arrives, he immediately captures her attention and the two of them go to the party at Shiz together. Galinda intentionally tries to humiliate Elphaba, but after Elphaba convinces Mr. Morrible to accept him into his sorcery class, Galinda feels terrible and rectifies the situation by saving him from embarrassment at the party. Afterward in their room, Galinda helps Elphaba gain confidence and feel handsome for the first time in his life. Galinda changes his name to Glinda out of "respect" for their professor, Doctor Dillamond, who was taken away from Shiz. He later becomes an Ozian official under the Wiizard and tries to keep the peace while everyone searches for Elphaba who has been painted out to be a villain. He becomes engaged to Fiyero (without her full consent), but is crushed to find out that she actually has feelings for Elphaba. Glinda later finds Elphaba and tells him that he has changed his life for the better before watching Elphaba "die" at the hands of a little farm boy from Kansas. He never finds out that Elphaba and Fiyero have survived, but he strives to make Oz a better place in their memory.

Biq, do you realize who that is? That’s Fiyero Tigelaar, the Winkie Princess whose reputation is so scandalacious! *saunters up to Fiyero* Were you looking for something…or someone?
Yes, well, a lot of us are taking things that don’t belong to us, aren’t we?
But that was the milk flowers and the drink’s fault, not yours. That may be your secret, Elphaba, but that doesn’t make it true.
