I wonder if the Wizard did anything to enhance this...
He did. He says so in the meeting after Nessa's death, doesn't he? *doesn't have the book at hand* And the prologue makes it pretty clear that Elphaba was quite famous - even if *she* herself had absolutely no clue about it.
I find Yackle endlessly fascinating. Even squee-inducing! And no, she doesn't explain anything new in SoaW, although she's quite present. However, the only version of her we see in the old maunt at Saint Glinda's. She at one point says to the maunts she has been "placed on the sidelines of her life, as a witness" "a guardian twitch" (whuh?)
A witness? A witness to the change that Elphaba would bring? A witness to Elphaba's tragedy? There are also hints that Yackle is more than just a witness, but an active participant in Elphaba's life. Hmm.
