Elphaba Orion Doherty, born Orion Doherty on February 11th, 2004 in Barnstable, Devon, England, is a BritTok sensation that ensures fans of the hit musical Wicked can never enjoy it in peace again.
If the videos are displaying as broken or throwing up "No video with supported format and MIME type found", they'll work if you right click and open them in a new tab or refresh the page. There's a lot of videos on one page and the forum doesn't like it
Not an awful lot is known about his very early years. There's frequent allegations that his mother is a crackhead (and when she appears on his lives, she does always seem zonked out on something) and speculation that he might have foetal alcohol syndrome;

As a young boy, he was taken to see a performance of the Broadway Musical Wicked. This inspired a lifelong obsession with both the musical (he's been to see it over 28 times), the songs and the main character of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch Of The West.

Orion harbored dreams of becoming a West End performer - specifically in the role of Elphaba. This was a big ambition for him, as Elphaba has never been performed by a man;

but this didn't stop Orion dressing up as Elphaba and singing "Defying Gravity" upwards of 50 times a day, frequently in public.



How do we know he sang it 50+ times a day? More on that in a moment. Anyway, Orion had a rough childhood and eventually came out as a trans woman at age 17 - obviously adopting the name of his icon, albeit keeping his deadname as his middle name. He still gets tetchy when misgendered/deadnamed as Orion, despite keeping it in all his usernames.
Anyway, upon coming out his mother allegedly kicked him out for a while. He had a brief stint working in a chicken shop in Barnstable (which he lost because he called up before his second ever shift asking to take a "mental health day") and there was allegedly involvement of a local support worker while he stayed in supported living, but things have patched up a bit now. Which leads us on to...
Rise in notoriety
Like any aspiring thespian, Elphaba began posting performances on TikTok. Unlike most of our resident cows, Elphie loved the limelight so much that he was moved to provide performances not just on TikTok but also outside, around Barnstable (a small port town of around 20,000 people). Sadly for him, Elphie's not a very good singer. He does now have monthly singing lessons and has improved a bit, but here's a recent performance to give you an idea:
Elphaba also likes to talk in a strained high pitched falsetto (especially when he's flirting), which can't be good for his vocal cords. He garnered a bit of a following for his cringe but harmless performances, until a live performance on Barnstable High Street resulted in some locals stealing his wig while on a TikTok live;
This garnered a lot of sympathy on BritTok with zoomers rushing in to comfort the vulnerable trans teenager as word spread. If your heart isn't completely dried up, you probably felt a twinge of sympathy for a mentally ill messed up kid just trying to live his life, but your sympathy will be limited as you read on.
TikTok Grift
One way fans can interact with people on TikTok is by sending them gifts during their livestreams. You purchase TikTok coins and then send them a little sticker and it earns them "diamonds" which they can cash out. Most TikTok gifts are inconsequential; a rose is worth about 2¢/1p - when the creator cashes in their diamonds, TikTok keeps half of that (and therefore they'd only get 1¢/0.5p). Some gifts are worth significantly more; gifting someone a lion costs you about $400 and so gives them about $200.
Initially Elphie did the classic grift of begging for money, explaining he was too poor to afford his rent for the month. The live stream that followed then revealed him shopping in Tesco for expensive junk food, followed by an announcement that he was once again going to go see Wicked, which was met with dismay by the people who had sent him money in the midst of the cozzie living crisis.
That's why Elphie pivoted into becoming a full blown TikTok grifter. By staying on live throughout the day and doing "battles" or "duals/duels" - essentially going on live with another streamer and competing to see who gets the most diamonds from the viewers - you can earn a decent amount of money. Elphie upped the ante on this by creating a private discord server and group chats, only allowing people to be in it if they consistently sent him high value gifts

There was also the launch of a Patreon, which so far has only ever had one post on it and largely has not been successful, and a Cameo account where Elphie charges $40 for a lazily phoned in message.
The lives however provided a lot of insight into Elphie's life. This included the revelation that at any hour of the day or night, Elphie's neighbors could expect to be assaulted with "Defying Gravity" being caterwauled out for the fortieth time that day, but also provided many domestic snapshots (he would frequently leave live on and ignore it completely while he went about his day-to-day) - creating ample opportunity for Elphie to both produce and record vast amounts of drama.
The Drama
Furthering on from the TikTok grift, there is an unhealthy subcommunity of grifters on BritTok who all compete to get to the top of the "leaderboard" by doing duals - essentially the people who've earned the most TikTok stickers that day. Many of them are some variety of trans, but they are not like the typical social media sideshows who police problematic language - this lot will gleefully mock each other's transitions, misgender and deadname each other, accuse each other of being fake trans, dox each other and encourage trolls to turn up or order pizzas to their addresses etc. etc. both on their own streams and to each other's faces in duals.
The full details are split off into their own comment due to the length and detail. While the narrative overview may paint Elphaba as somewhat of a victim in all this, he is very much an active participant who will insult and manipulate in a truly horrible way (there is no way I can include all the relevant clipped lives without needing to rent a server off Null). As a taster, here is Elphie threatening to deepfake Mama Kaz's voice into saying some racist shit to get her cancelled as a form of extortion.
You may feel that much of this beef must be manufactured for clout chasing and dramacoins, but it's important to note that a lot of this shit goes down in public spaces or has significant real life consequences. They are all TikTok rotted, mentally ill/personally disordered people who are additionally very stupid, and behave at an amplitude that will be familiar to any British Kiwifarmer that's spent a Saturday in a particularly rough flat roof pub.
Hygiene
Much to the chagrin of many West End theatre goers, Elphie doesn't really like to bathe. His filthy skin and greasy hair might give that away, but Elphie also likes to rewear the same clothes for many days, sleeping in them without bathing... with the recent London heatwave resulting in Elphie wearing the same t-shirt for 19 days in a row, seemingly without taking it off.
He's also talked about his desire to get clip in veneers (or a "flipper") due to his fear of damaging his teeth with actual veneers, although it's worth noting he's on record saying he has not brushed his teeth in six months. Elphie claims to have cystic acne and has additionally self diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa, a condition that conveniently makes it too painful for him to tuck, but Chelsea Lee Art summed it up aptly - "he's just a scabby man who needs a good scrubbing". People who encounter Elphie (including at performances of Wicked) frequently report a stench of "shit and death". His lives also reveal a curiously unphased approach to domestic hygiene, with him picking dirty rags off the filthy floor to do the drying up, or wiping his arse with baby wipes and then putting them in a carrier bag on top of his clothes to dispose of later.
However the more repulsive aspect of his character is his seeming delight in grotesque bodily functions, frequently farting and burping with reckless abandon and laughing at his own behaviour. For a tamer insight into this, here is Elphie performing the "Sprite challenge" in Barnstable shopping centre:
This ties in to Elphie's sexual preferences; as befitting a sewage demon he has a variety of sexual fascinations, including with "Sludge". Elphie makes vast quantities of homemade sludge and then stores it for safe keeping while reusing it in a method that is sure to act as an incubator that will initiate the next pandemic.



Elphie has decried that the person who leaked these slime photos is out of order, although it transpires he was sending them (along with more conventional nudes) completely unprompted to random strangers he found hot, so he has no way to track down exactly who did leak them.
Stalking and Harassment
Elphie knows what he likes, and what he likes is "a guy with a strong personality, 20-28, muscles tattoos and six pack. And with money. Not interested otherwise. Oh and he also has to love theatre x". Unfortunately such men do not tend to like him.
However uncomfortable that was though, the real issue is his obsession with the West End actresses who play Elphaba. He's frequently attempting to meet them after shows - and it's not uncommon for the actresses to do so. One of them is Laura Pick, who has taken selfies with Elphie several times


Unfortunately for the seemingly lovely Laura, she learned that obsessive fans should be taken seriously. After inviting some of the audience to come with her to a nightclub after the performance, this read to Elphaba as his chance at fame, and he approached Laura in the club. He asked Laura to join her on the TikTok Live, and when Laura declined (because she was also doing a live), Elphie attempted to grab the phone out of Laura's hand while trying for a hug. At this point, one of the other cast members (I think the understudy) recognised Elphaba as the stalking creep who she'd had to block on all social media months before due to incessant messaging. and security ejected him from the venue.
Elphie did not take this well.
Counterstalking
You might be aware that zoomers and Gen A discovered Chris-Chan around the time of the merge, and felt distraught they'd missed out on the golden years of weenery. It appears they may have found a replacement.
BritTok teenagers can be really quite vicious and there are a variety of "exposed" TikToks that archive and clip Elphie's lives. They'll habitually troll his comments sections to provoke a reaction from him, and he's earned himself a Snark subreddit and multiple threads on Tattle. Elphie also enjoys the Keffals treatement, as rabid fans attempt to dox his hotel room (or other people in his BritTok rat king just reveal where he's staying) and then turn up at his door. On more than one occasion this has resulted in him having to relocate short notice or do a big song and dance about "double locking" the door.

Elphie enjoys performing, which usually involves him hogging the microphone at a gay bar's karaoke to sing Defying Gravity:
He recently announced he'd be performing at Brighton Pride in Broadway Bar - it's speculated that this was actually just him booking out a karaoke slot, but it transpires he was actually booked. Nevertheless enough "antis" got in touch with the venue that they put out a statement stressing Elf-Bar would not be performing, which lead to another impressive meltdown;
and then more suicide threats (there's a lot of those with oor elphie).
Elphie frequently heads to gay villages and also the West End in London (when he's going to see Wicked or occasionally try another musical), which leads to his stans and ironic anti-stans papping him in various venues or filming him in the street - Elf Bar is not afraid to go out by himself on his love quest;
Those last two are from Heaven in London, a gay super-nightclub. Elphie was not "performing" in Heaven, they just put on "Defying Gravity" and Elphie clambered onto a balcony to sing to the crowd (...although it does look like he made it into one of the backstage areas at the end). If blinds are to be believed on Tattle, he's actually since been banned due to increased notoriety around his shenanigans.
