And she DID have a battle with Glynda GoodWitch (Who was ALSO inspired by the good witch of the south in Wizard of Oz) And Ruby. The Whole entire fight scene with Crimson, Glynda, And Ruby was inspired by when in the movie, Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and Glynda together encounter the Wicked witch entering the munchkin town. Thank you Very Much and have a nice day. To support your statement; she's also wearing crytal shoes, a possible reference to the original stories of The Wizard of Oz' magical silver shoes which was previously owned by the Wicked Witch of the East and self-claimed by the West.

Or, the glass shoes that was made for Nessarose (Wicked Witch of the East) which was supposedly passed on to her sister Elphaba (Wicked Witch of the West) after her death in Maguire's novel of The Wicked Years.
