Elphaba also has sharp teeth and seems savage, biting at anyone and anything; her parents put a muzzle on her. She is terrified of water, which causes her pain. Frex believes the baby is punishment from the Unnamed God for failing to protect his parishioners, and Melena has trouble caring for the child, asking her own nanny for help. After Nanny arrives, Frex decides to travel as a missionary for the Unnamed God. To dull her difficulties and loneliness, Melena chews pinlobble leaves (a type of Munchkinlander drug) and drinks heavily.
