Real people that look like the people who inspire the looks of the Wicked characters in my headcanon:
As I want to respect the privacy of the (mostly) anonymous people in my life (including my own) who I associate with the characters of Wicked and inspire their looks in my headcanon of Wicked and my fanfictions. I chose some famous (or almost) famous people that look a lot like (some are nearly identical to) the people of my life. I already made a Picrew of the women, but now I'm including Fiyero, too; also, I think using real people illustrates the idea much better when we want to imagine a real world.
Elphaba
Inspo: Myself;
Look-alikes: Brazilian dancer, artist, influencer and indigenous and climate activist Marciele Albuquerque-Munduruku (on the left) and Brazilian afro-indigenous model and actress Suyane Moreira (on the right);
Look-alikes' accuracy to the real person's looks: 70-85% (I've been compared to them, Sophia Loren and Selena Quintanilla a few times in my life). If any of them had a Jewish nose and/or curly hair, the accuracy would be above 95%, though;
Most defining traits:
Thick and wide lips;
Sharp bone structure;
Lengthy body;
Cleft chin;
Prominent nose;
Moles and beauty marks all over the face and body;
Sharp and angled dark brown eyes;
High forehead;
Thick, ultra long curly/wavy black hair
Glinda
Inspo: My best friend of 13 years;
Look-alike: Brazilian actress Manuela Kfouri;
Look-alike accuracy to the real person's looks: 90-95%
Most defining traits:
Renaissance portrait face;
Dainty features;
Weightless look;
Green doe eyes;
Rosebud lips;
Very light, barely-there freckles;
Long, thick, curly hair. Naturally blonde, but dyes it ginger (Wicked and The Wizard of Oz's Glinda at the same time)
Fiyero
Inspo: a very close... friend... of mine;
Look-alikes: Brazilian actor, model and musician Pedro Novaes (on the left) and Canadian Actor and Musician Alexander Ludwig (on the right);
Look-alikes' accuracy to the real person's looks: about 80%, but if they had a child, then that child would be a 100% match;
Most defining traits:
Very tall, athletic body;
Honey blond hair;
Sharp green eyes;
Sharp bone structure;
Sharp features;
Freckles;
Looks like an asshole, acts like a golden retriever, thinks like a 2005 emo sad boy (but with a cheerful attitude about it);
Ass (the literal one 🌚)
Nessarose / Dorothy
Inspo: my 1st cousin/sister;
Look-alike: I don't know who she is, I found her on Pinterest. If you know her, let me know;
Look-alike's accuracy to the real person's looks: 90%
Most defining traits:
Sharp, yet dainty features;
Soft lips;
Sharp and prominent nose;
Angular bone structure;
Cleft chin;
Coily light brown hair;
Round and upturned dark brown eyes;
Lengthy body, but short
Characters I don't have a defined look for:
Boq (I like Cameron Boyce, Daniel Radcliffe and Ethan Slater);
Madame Morrible (I like Carole Shelley, Liza Minelli and Sheryl Lee Ralph);
The Wizard (I like Jeff Goldblum and Gil Birmingham)
Shell (he's my real life brother, but I couldn't find anyone who looks like him. If you want to imagine 6ft3 and curly haired Taylor Lautner or Booboo Stewart it kinda works, though);
Frexppar (I really don't know, nor do I really care, but he has black hair)
Melena (couldn't find anyone, but if Celine Dion had a black mother, which is basically what my real mom looks like, that would be it);
Glinda's mom (I like Megan Hilty and Kristen Bell);
Glinda's dad (I really don't know, he has no face to me when I write scenes with him);
Shenshen (don't know, but she's Asian. I like Kimiko Glenn);
Pfanee (I don't know, but she's black or brown)
I will make a post like this about non-human characters and OCs, especially because all of my OCs have a definite look.
