The Book: In the book Wicked written by Gregory Maguire, Elphaba is allergic to water. Since birth she has had a strange aversion to it, and it is revealed she is allergic. She is melted by Dorothy Gale of Kansas, but as it is told, witches never die. "'And there the Wicked Witch stayed for a good long time.' 'Did she ever come out?' 'Not yet.'" (That quote was from the book Wicked, By Gregory Maguire)
The Musical: In Wicked: The Musical, Elphaba is not allergic to water. This is proved during the song "I'm Not That Girl," when she sings in the pouring rain. People believe that water will melt her because her soul is so unclean. She goes along with this rumor in order to stage her death in the end of Act II.
Note of importance: In both the Wicked the Musical and the book Wicked, Elphaba is the Wicked Witch of the West's name, named after the initials of Lyman Frank Baum, who wrote the Wizard of Oz.
