In the books there is also the Wicked Witch of the North named Mombi so as far as we know she can portray her instead. Or maybe OUaT writers will combine those two characters in one...like she is introduced as a good witch and helps Dorothy but only for Dorothy to bring her something from Glinda or Zelena.

As for Zelena not being green, maybe she just like her sister had a chance to redeem herself so she succeeded with the help of Glinda and thus got her normal skin color back. But something happened (probably Dorothy is involved) so she turned green and wicked again and resumed her vendetta against Regina. Prince of Rascia, I hope that Adam & Eddy keep Mombi (WWotN) and the Good Witch of the North (named Locasta in L. Frank Baum's 1902 musical) separate and don't combine them into one character. I know that lots of characters in OUAT are combined, but this would be combining a good and evil character, not just two good or two evil characters.

I also like your theory of Zelena's redemption with Glinda's help and eventual reversion to wickedness. Yes, Mombi should be different, I agree, although I don't think we'll actually see her, Ozma, or any of the other characters introduced after the first book (which is a real shame), unless we get a Once Upon A Time in Oz spinoff (which seeing how Wonderland faired, is doubtful).
