Dorothy Gale
Dorothy Gale is the protagonist of L.
Frank Baum's *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* (1900) and its sequels—a Kansas farm girl transported by tornado to the magical Land of Oz.
The character became iconic through the 1939 film, where Judy Garland's portrayal established the ruby slippers and "There's no place like home." Dorothy represents American innocence abroad, the practical outsider navigating a strange world.
She felt like Dorothy Gale, suddenly dropped into someplace entirely unfamiliar.
