Betsy Bobbin

Strangely, more than one of the Oz books start or end with the people of Oz celebrating Betsy's birthday, though it has been claimed as being both in the spring (in Thompson's The Hungry Tiger of Oz) and on Halloween (in Bill Campbell and Irwin Terry's Masquerade in Oz--Campbell has acknowledged that had forgotten the spring reference in the former), although the weather in Oz is generally consistent with being in the Northern Hemisphere.

Betsy is also the protagonist of Ruth Plumly Thompson's The Hungry Tiger of Oz, in which she helps a young prince from a Kingdom called Rash regain his throne.
