Trixie Tryfle was an American waitress in Kansas dating Pastoria, a street car conductor. Unbeknownst to her, Pastoria was really the rightful King of Oz who had been banished. When a twister came, it brought Pastoria and Trixie, along with Dorothy Gale and Imogene the Cow (who replaced Toto in the stage adaptation), to the magical land of Oz.
