What's more speculative is to assume that there are two Witches of the North while the series never implied it was the case.

Per "Kansas", it appears like the titles of "Witch of the North/East/West/South" are very special in Oz. We can easily get it when we see how Glinda explains the situation to Zelena. Seeing the importance of this position, I doubt we'd have two witches of the north.

Also, that's not because the Witch of the North appeared at this place in the Heart of Oz that she is a good witch. Glinda clearly proved that she had no problem working with "grey people" as she was ready to have Zelena by their sides.

Until proven otherwise, I don't see why we should assume they are two different characters. I'm not sure if we got similar cases in the past, but... It is more logical to assume they are the same, rather that they are different. After all, we know nothing from this witch in 320, so who's saying she is not wicked in disguise, or if she did not turn wicked at some point?

Whatever is the situation in the books do not concern us. We have to base our decisions on what the show is saying, not the source material. And the show never ever suggested the possibility of having two Witches of the North at the same time.

Oh yeah, one last point. In 717, Zelena clearly proves and says that she wants to be the only witch around in Oz, and that's why she banished the other. If 717 is happening before 618, it'd mean she banished the Witch of the North... but not the Wicked Witch of the North? That's really weird to me; especially after 717. It makes more sense to think these witches were banished at the same time cos they're the same.
