Gayelette is a character in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She is a great sorceress and princess who lives in the North (Gillikin Country) of the Land of Oz, and resides in a ruby castle built by her people, the men of whom she considers ugly and stupid, aside from her young husband, Quelala. Some have speculated that Gayelette may be a younger version of the Good Witch of the North. She nurtures and then marries a boy named Quelala. After the winged monkeys pull a prank on Quelala and ruin his velvet wedding suit, Gayellette decides to punish the monkeys with a Golden Cap that will force the monkeys to do the wearer's bidding thrice. Quelala, the first wearer, has the monkeys banished. The entire story of Gayelette and Quelala is told by the current King of the Winged Monkeys, whose grandfather tricked Quelala. The Monkeys do not know how the Wicked Witch of the West acquired the Golden Cap. In spite of Gayelette's harsh treatment of the Winged Monkeys and her judgment of the people, the current King of the Winged Monkeys says that Gayelette's subjects loved her. She used her magic to help the people and was considered wise and good. Gayelette never appears again in a canon Oz book.
In Roger S. Baum's Dorothy of Oz, she and Quelala fall victim to their Jester when he has acquired the Wicked Witch of the West's wand (which also had the Wicked Witch of the West's ghost in it) and turns them and their guests into China Dolls. After Dorothy frees the Jester from the wand, Princess Gaylette and those who were turned into China Dolls return to normal. Dorothy then convinces Princess Gaylette to forgive the Jester so that he can jest again..
They did not meet in the first Oz book. The character has never appeared in an adaptation with the exception of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz anime series, but then only in the unedited TV version. The characters also appear in the fan novel, Mira of Oz (2002).
