Known as the Good Witch of the South, Glinda was a powerful mage in Oz, forming the Sisterhood of Oz with fellow Witches of the North and East, in order to protect their home. Residing at the Heart of Oz, Glinda embodied love, one of the four elements of magic. To show her membership within the order, she was the owner of a special crystal pendant that allowed her to store, channel and focus her magic, making it far stronger than what she had been able to do on her own.
Glinda had a very testy relationship with the Wizard of Oz, seeing through his act of the benevolent bringer of hope as nothing more than the works of a confidence trickster. This resulted in the two never seeing eye to eye, only meeting in the most pressing of circumstances and showing feigned contempt for the other.
"A Curious Thing"
However, she reassured Snow that there although Zelena was skillful practitioner of magic, the Witch of the West was not invincible. She directed their attention to her pendent, remarking that she had given the Witch one similar, musing that since her magic now resided within the crystal, the removal of the pendant would leave her vulnerable. She noted that it would not be an easy task, stating that the only way to counter Zelena's dark magic was potent light magic. Expressing the importance of light magic, a product of true love, she listens to Snow's belief that their daughter Emma Swan could be the one to save them all.
She was the keeper and protector of the Book of Records, a tome which contained the history and future of the whole of the realm. Having learned about Zelena's arrival to Oz as a child via a cyclone, Glinda and the Sisterhood kept an eye on them, seeing her as the one promised to defeat the tyranny of the Wizard and take her place as the protector of the West and the embodiment of innocence.
She eventually revealed herself to Zelena after the latter transformed the Wizard into her pet monkey, travelling to the Emerald City to personally thank her for showing Oz that they had been putting their faith in a liar and a fraud for years. Raising the fact that a time travel spell would be impossible to achieve, she sugge
sted that Zelena instead come and meet the Sisterhood, where she would be accepted as a member of the order.
Bringing Zelena to the Heart of Oz, Glinda introduces her sisters, explaining that the reason why she had brought the young witch to them was to give her a new future as one of their council. When Zelena expressed doubt that she could ever represent innocence due to her past deeds, Glinda reinforced the idea that "innocence reclaimed" was equally as powerful as innocence from birth. On the Witch of the North's prompting, Glinda reluctantly told Zelena about the prophecy written in the Book of Records, adding that she did not want to tell her about it, as she wanted the young mage to chose her own destiny. Upon Zelena realising that the prophecy was about her, Glinda welcomed her as a temporary member of the Sisterhood, adding that they had been waiting for her.
After Zelena lets go of her anger and resentment for Regina and Rumplestilskin, Glinda congratulated her for her progress, presenting the young mage with a pendant and placing it around her neck. She warned Zelena that she needed to guard the pendant with her life, adding that without it, she would be powerless. She proudly concluded that Zelena was in now a member of the the Sisterhood.
Taking her to the yellow brick road, both Glinda and Zelena surveyed the West, shocked to see a cyclone blow across the hills. She let out a horrified cry upon the discovery that there was something hurtling around the outside of the chromosphere.
Investigating the remains of the wooden house, Glinda heard Dorothy Gale's cries for help, pulling her from the wreckage. Irritated by Zelena's persistence to know who she was and where she was from, she suggested that the girl came and stayed with them at the Heart of Oz while they figured out how to return her to Kansas.
Welcoming Dorothy into their home, Glinda was the only one to notice Zelena spying on them from the window outside. Realising something was wrong, she excused herself from the table and went to check on her sister, following her to the nearby well. Asking what was wrong, she was unnerved by Zelena's theft of the Book of Records. She attempted to reassure Zelena that they were sisters, promising that despite Dorothy's arrival in the cyclone, the Witch of the West would not be the bad threat that must be destroyed to free Oz from tyranny.
Confused about shouting at the well later that evening, Glinda is saddened by the news that Zelena had attacked Dorothy, consoling the girl with the fact that she had done nothing wrong. She went on to add that due to her throwing water at the Witch of the West, she had fulfilled the prophecy. Offering the young girl a place with the Sisterhood, she accepted Dorothy's wish to go home, remarking that although she could not return her to Kansas, she knew that the Wizard would do it as a reward for reverting him back to human form - blissfully unaware that Zelena had faked her own death.
Accompanying Dorothy to the Emerald City, Glinda instructed the girl to talk speak with the Wizard and make her request. She wished her safe travels as the latter used the magic of a pair of silver slippers to transport her home. With
Dorothy now gone, she begrudgingly thanked the Wizard for his help, telling him that it was safe to reveal his true form and come out from behind the curtain.
However she is horrified to learn that Zelena had impersonated the Wizard, questioning how it was possible for her to still be alive after being reduced to nothing by a bucket of water. Realising that she had been duped, Glinda defiantly stated that she would do whatever she could to summon a hero to Oz that would defeat the Wicked Witch of the West once and for all. But before she could plead for her sister to reconsider her actions, she was banished by Zelena to the Enchanted Forest.
Trapped in Zelena's home world, Glinda exiled herself to the far north of the Dark Forest, keeping herself as far away from people as possible and reflecting on her failure to save Zelena from becoming a force of evil and terror.

Following Rumplestiltskin's riddle, Snow White and Prince Charming travelled to the Dark Forest with Regina in search of the entrance to Glinda's realm. Glinda had enchanted a door in the middle of the wood that would only transport people to her that had pure hearts capable of feeling love and hope, which Regina mislabelled as "a portal with a cheap cloaking spell."
"A Curious Thing"
Appearing behind the couple as they wondered allowed about her being "the Witch of the South" in a frozen world, Glinda remarked that the stories about her had been true up until her banishment to the Enchanted Forest. She reluctantly informed them that Regina had not been able to arrive with them due to having a heart "full of vengeance," adding that only good witches and beings of extraordinary courage and devotion could pass through her portal.
She interrupted Snow White's protest to being called a witch, remarking that she was fully aware of who she was and had heard stories of her deeds before the enactment of the First Dark Curse. She went on to tell her that she her unborn child had a pure and uncorrupted heart, a source of powerful sorcery.
Asked to aid them in the fight against Zelena, Glinda was regretful that she was not able to help her, due to her being far less powerful than her former ally. She explained how the two had been friends in the past, before Zelena allowed herself to be consumed by envy and dark magic. She expressed her regret at failing to stop the Wicked Witch of the West.
However, she reassured Snow that there although Zelena was skillful practitioner of magic, the Witch of the West was not invincible. She directed their attention to her pendent, remarking that she had given the Witch one similar, musing that since her magic now resided within the crystal, the removal of the pendant would leave her vulnerable.

Expressing the importance of light magic, a product of true love, she listens to Snow's belief that their daughter Emma Swan could be the one to save them all.
Upon hearing that Emma was not in the Enchanted Forest, Glinda remarked that their quest could not succeed. Due to there being no other option, Snow declared that they must enact the Dark Curse one again to spirit them back to Storybrooke.
