Scarecrow

At first, he was just a scarecrow in a cornfield in the Blue Country. He was put there to keep away the crows. But the Scarecrow was no ordinary scarecrow: it was immediately clear that he wanted to be more than just a "bogeyman" for the birds, but someone real—he wanted to think, dream, and talk. As Ellie walked along the Yellow Brick Road, she met the Scarecrow. He confessed that he wanted brains more than anything else: he felt that without them, he couldn't be truly smart and useful. Together with Ellie, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow went to see the Great and Powerful Goodwin. In the end, Goodwin gave the Scarecrow "brains"—a symbolic gift: a bag of needles, pins, and bran, sprinkled with needles and stained with green ink. What matters is not the contents, but self-confidence. From this moment on, the Scarecrow begins to call himself the Wise Scarecrow.

HE DOESN'T NEED WATER, FOOD OR SLEEP, HE'S MADE OF STRAW

The Scarecrow is a straw effigy: his body is stuffed with straw. He has a green jacket and red trousers, a wide green hat, facial features painted with paint, blue eyes, is 160 cm tall, and is about a couple of years old.

The Scarecrow is no longer just a traveler, but the ruler of the Emerald City—the Wise Scarecrow. He tries to do everything right, worries about the city and his subjects, can be hot-tempered, and sometimes makes mistakes. At the same time, he remains kind and resourceful. He can also be a bit of a clown.
