Marissa Bode returns as Nessarose, now the Governor of Munchkinland in Wicked: For Good. She governs in her father's place following his death and has been reshaped by her distance from her sister Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo). Her warmth has been replaced by restraint, and she clings to authority as the only thing she can trust.Talking about the character, Bode says, "She's ruling Munchkinland alone, and a lot of time has passed without contact between her and Elphaba. That distance hardens and hurts Nessa. She is trying to lead and to keep control, but she is angry and hurt.
