Patchwork Girl

The Patchwork Girl (aka Scraps) is a character from the fantasy Oz Book series by L. Frank Baum.〔Jack Snow, ''Who's Who in Oz'', Chicago, Reilly & Lee, 1954; New York, Peter Bedrick Books, 1988; pp. 156-7.〕 She first appeared in ''The Patchwork Girl of Oz''.
==History==
Scraps is a teenaged (possibly fourteen) living rag doll made of patchwork, button eyes, brown yarn hair, a felt tongue, and pearl teeth. She was originally brought to life by a Munchkin magician named Dr. Pipt by means of his Powder of Life formula to be a servant for his wife Margolotte. Ojo overloaded her with magic brains in the process of bringing her to life, and as she happily jumped around she accidentally spilled the Liquid of Petrifaction on Mrs. Pipt and Ojo's uncle turning them to stone. Much of their first adventure is gathering the ingredients to find a counterspell.
She later became the companion of the Scarecrow who found her quite beautiful.
She had major roles in such Oz books as ''The Gnome King of Oz'' and ''The Wonder City of Oz'', and was the title character in ''A Runaway in Oz''.
The Patchwork Girl was likely influenced by the character of Topsy in ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'', and she may have influenced the character of Raggedy Ann.〔Robin Bernstein, (''Racial Innocence: Performing American Childhood from Slavery to Civil Rights,'' ) (New York: New York University Press, 2011), 163-172.〕
