Wicked

When first introduced, Nor is a nine-year old girl who resides with her mother, siblings and five aunts at Kiamo Ko. She is often bullied by her brother Manek; Nor and her other brother Irji often have to work together to stand up to Manek. After Manek's death, that bond disappears, and Nor becomes more independent. Nor enjoys snooping around Elphaba's room and possessions and it is her who first makes Elphaba see that her broom is magical. Towards the end of the novel, she and her family are taken captive by the Gale Force. While the others are killed out of political considerations, Nor is held prisoner (in a very cruel fashion) by the Wizard and used to blackmail Elphaba.

on of a Witch

In "Son of a Witch", Liir, Fiyero's illegitimate son by Elphaba, goes on a quest of sorts to look for Nor, who was the only person who had ever given him a sort of kindness. Nor is only seen in flashbacks, but at the end of the novel, Liir still believes in her existence, due to a graffiti of 'Elphaba lives' on a wall. Liir, who denies being Elphaba and Fiyero's son, has a somewhat romantic interest in her, although this would be incest.

Nor as well as her mother, brothers and aunts are not present in the musical presentation of Wicked.
