Dorothy (Guardian)

 Dorothy was afraid she had lost her way home. “Toto,” she said to
her little dog, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” Though
never really lost at all, Dorothy felt stranded and alone, and she
wanted Oz to return her to the security of her Aunt and Uncle’s
farm. “There’s no place like home,” she said.

 Scarecrow thought he had no brain. Although the most ingenious
of the four, he consider himself witless and worthless, and he
wanted Oz to make him smart. “Brains are the only things worth
having in this world,” he said.

 Tin Woodman believed he had no heart. As tender and sensitive as
he was, he felt stiffened with rust and unable to love, and he
wanted Oz to help him feel a warm, loving heart beating in his
chest. “No one can love who has no heart,” he said.

Lion (Artisan)

 Lion was lacking courage. Although a powerful, magnificent beast,
he had grown cowardly and lost his self-respect, and he wanted
the Wizard to give him back his nerve. “As long as I know myself
to be a coward I should be unhappy,” he said.
