Her focus remains intently on the Ruby Slippers, and she will have them. Much of Elphabas energy is directed towards others, often in terms of aid, showing her 2 wing.

Elphaba does demonstrate physical attraction towards Fiyero, shown most prominently in the song As Long As Youre Mine.. Planning and control are not for the ISFP, they much prefer to stay in the background doing the things they like, keeping a balance, which includes choosing to remain, happily disorganised.
