Polychrome (Oz)
Polychrome is a cloud fairy and the youngest daughter of the Rainbow, thus she is a "sky princess". She first appears in ''The Road to Oz'' (1909), which is the fifth book of the original fourteen Oz books by American author by L. Frank Baum.〔Jack Snow, ''Who's Who in Oz'', Chicago, Reilly & Lee, 1954; New York, Peter Bedrick Books, 1988; p. 163.〕 She also appears several times in later Oz stories of the classic series.
==Appearances==
When Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, the Shaggy Man, and Button-Bright first encounter Polychrome in the fifth chapter of ''The Road to Oz'', she is seen dancing to keep herself warm, after accidentally sliding off her father's rainbow and landing on the surface of the Earth. (Her father withdrew his bow without realizing she had been left behind.) Polychrome is described as:
In personality she is sweet and ethereal and generally the archetypal good fairy. Polychrome is more a decorative than an active presence in ''The Road to Oz,'' but she makes positive contributions in her subsequent appearances in Baum's fictions. She is very sensitive to cold and, while on Earth, often dances simply to keep warm. In ''Tik-Tok of Oz'' (1914) she summons the dragon Quox to rescue the captured Ozites from the Nome King. (The Nome King, it may be noted in passing, is dazzled by the beautiful fairy and begs her to remain in his underground realm, which she refuses.) In ''The Tin Woodman of Oz'' (1918), she rescues the rusted Captain Fyter the Tin Soldier by oiling his joints, just as Dorothy had done for the Tin Woodman in ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' (1900), and she uses her magic to let the protagonists fit through a rabbit hole. In Sky Island (1912) she provides the solution to the central characters' main problem.
