Just Me

Hey, wait a sec... you're talking about ME!

1up Mushroom

The rules: There is a list of details below, you must guess who it is in the least possible amount of clues.
Please be honest, otherwise you will spoil the game. Please do not say you got it at clue number one if you didn't.

Say who you think it is, and how many clues it took.

Afterwards tell me what you thought of the "Who am I?" game.

Here goes:

1. My name is a feminine derivation from the name of my creator.
2. The colour of my skin made me the victim of antagonism throughout my childhood.
3. My father was a provincial governor.
4. During my time at college, I became involved in the animal rights movement. A talent was quickly recognized, and I was accepted for the study of a specialist trade.
5. The trade I mastered enabled me to save the lives of two men, though their quality of life would be greatly altered, and it enabled me to give my crippled sister an aide so that she could walk.
6. I have generally been known by a slanderous headline (which became a title) rather than by my name. This slander forced me to flee to the safety of the Westernmost province of my country.
7. My lowest moment was the imprisoning of a foreign child. In my defense, the girl had been sent by my enemy to kill me, but in her defense, she was not willing to do so.
8. I would have agreed to a truce with the man who had become my enemy, if he had not imprisoned one of my college lecturers.
9. The man who I knew as my father was not my biological father. My biological father was the man who slandered my name, hunted me, and imprisoned my lecturer.
10. My biological father arrived in the country by air, and left the country the same way. The girl I imprisoned arrived in the country by air, but left the country by walking across a desert.
11. My billowing black dress, and distinguished black hat are the height of fashion among the people of the Northern province of my country.
12. Unlike my closest friend, who is partial to bubbles, my treasured items are a book and my trusty broom.
13. My sister was killed by debris from a tornado.
14. My mother was seduced by a man offering her a magic potion, resulting in my conception.

Who am I?
How was the game? Was it entertaining, challenging? Was it not enough detail?
Did I describe her very well?
Wrong fantasy college, and wrong fantasy world.
Wrong fantasy college and wrong fantasy world, XRYS2
We have a right answer, and another answer strangely phrased...
More clues?
15. I am a main character in two novels, and two broadway musicals.
16. My motto is: "no good deed goes unpunished".
17. I am better known for my ill-thought words spoken in a moment of grief at my sister's death: "I will get you, and your little dog too!"
18. I have been held responsible for the poppy boom that hit the country near the capital city.
19. I am the only citizen of my country whose skin colour matches the capital city.
