1. Does the Queen still have any magic left? Does Azkadellia?

The Queen has little left. Az does, but right now, she can't bare to use it.

2. Do all Gales have the same magic? Or do they each specialize in certain kinds?

They all can perform the same kind of magic. But like with anything else, one maybe better than the other at some things.

3. Is there a way for the Queen to unlock the rest of DG’s memories or are they mostly lost forever?

Some of DG's memories will return, but not all. It's like any other child growing up, some memories are retained and some are not.

4. Does DG dive head first into being a princess only to melt down later or does she attempt to pace herself?

She paces herself. She wants to be Princess and does not run away from it or has any doubts.

5. Does Ahamo have a job in Court?

I haven't really thought about this, but I imagine he would. He would be probably be the equivalent of First Lady or in his case, First Man.

6. In your mind what is the Queen's real name? What is Ahamo's?I have no clue since I ( ... )

1. Does the Queen still have any magic left? Does Azkadellia?

The Queen does not. She channeled her own personal abilities and chi to bring DG back to life, leaving her with enough energy to continuing living at this depleted state or premature aging. See the proper way to bring someone back from the dead is to have more than one magic user and tap into ley line/environmental chi, so you don't drain yourself dead to bring someone back.

There's nothing wrong with Az's magic, if anything, she had a magic boost with the possession. But she is going to have issues with even the innocent magical things the witch used to do. In Dragons and Ninjas, she only teleported because she was afraid for DG's life.

2. Do all Gales have the same magic? Or do they each specialize in certain kinds?Do I have enough space for my magical theory? Here it goes. Besides the three different levels of chi (personal, environmental, universal), there are three different strains of magic users. Mortal witches and wizards are more attune to using personal ( ... )

Ah, another Maguire reader! I also used "Galinda," but put the regnal name of Ozma in front.

Oh, and Cain? Totally raised Unionist. Personal fanon has Adora's dad as a Unionist preacher, rather like Frexspar. Cain abandoned religion for the most part walking the beats in Central City, and tossed the rest out during his time in the Suit. In the course of the story arc I have, he's getting back in touch with spirituality.

Ambrose, being from Ev, is a Lurlinist (Unionism didn't cross the Deserts too well). He dismissed the whole idea as nonsense before the Witch took power, but came to find comfort in it during his time as Glitch. This leads to some VERY interesting discussions with him and Cain.

(Meanwhile, the Shamanistic Raw and the agnostic DG are rolling their eyes...)

All my maps started with the Maguire maps, http://www.bookwormlibrary.us/backgrounds/oz_maps.html.

I haven't delved too much into the religions even though I like what Maguire does with them. All the Sisters named after their roles are some of my favorite bit players. I just don't have much to do with religion in my fiction or fanfiction.

The closest I think I have ever gotten is Cain waking up thinking he should be dead and childhood church lessons had lied to him. The afterlife shouldn't hurt.

But yeah, the suit would make him lose any religion he had.

And the post limit got me too. You may need to space the question out more.

8. What is your personal fanon for Ahamo?

Fought in Vietnam in one of the first drafted units, so he was one of the first units to come home. The next six years who worked the carnival circuit, until his balloon got blown into the O.Z. from the Nebraska State Fair. It was his old military jacket he wore as the Seeker in the Realm, it helped him survive down there to think of it like Saigon.

9. What happened to the Queen's parents? At what age did she become Queen?

Hadn't given much thought about it, but DG's death was her first crisis as Queen and it didn't get any better from there.

10. Do they have any other family left in the O.Z, Earth or other kingdoms/realms/worlds? (like Ahamo's parents, siblings, cousins)

Galinda was an only child, as was her mother, but there are lineage ties between other noble houses in and outside the O.Z. Ahamo doesn't discuss his family ever, so I think it was fall out from the Vietnam War.

[q]First of all, it's not entirely accurate to say "Gales," as the magic is more "Ozma's." Personal fanon is that a dying Ozma Tippetarius and Dorothy Gale cut a deal, and that there's one more great-grandmother and one less great-grandfather than there ought to be.[/q]

This is totally my fanon as well, although the circumstances are different. The Queen, DG, and Az all share a strong family resemblance to Ozma, and look almost nothing like the blond Dorothy we saw in the Gray Gale.

1. Does the Queen still have any magic left? Does Azkadellia?

I think The Queen has little to nothing left of her magic.I think Azkadellia has all her magic left. I don't see how it's would be taken from her.

2. Do all Gales have the same magic? Or do they each specialize in certain kinds?

I think they all have the same type of magic.

3. Is there a way for the Queen to unlock the rest of DG’s memories or are they mostly lost forever?

I think her memories are now unlocked and whether or not she remembers her childhood is much like any other person remembering things that happened to them at that age.

4. Does DG dive head first into being a princess only to melt down later or does she attempt to pace herself?

Pace herself. I just don't see DG jumping into princess fourm. I can see her wanting to hold on her outer zone ways. She's got a rebellious side to her and I don't think being a princess goes with that.

5. Does Ahamo have a job in Court?

6. In your mind what is the Queen's real name? What is Ahamo's?No ( ... )
