"I'm confused by BeautyWicked's post... Unless you just mean that in the original Baum novel they weren't sisters"
In the original book, the Wicked Witch of the West showed no remorse for the death of the East Witch, nor was she noted to be related to her in any way. The Silver Shoes were all that mattered to her.
However, in the 1939 film, the Witch of the East became the sister of the Witch of the West. Also, in the musical 'Wicked' Elphaba, the green witch and Witch of the West, has a sister, Nessarose, and she becomes the Wicked Witch of the East in the second act.
In the previews for this film, Evanora (Weisz) and Theodora (Kunis) are sisters and the only other Witch in this film is Glinda, who everyone knows is the Good Witch. In this clip, from 4:14-4:15, Evanora and Glinda are using magic against each other.
