Sunnydale's high school love-struck computer dork, turned coed lesbian witch, Willow
has had quite an interesting life. For someone who was such an introvert the first time she met Buffy Willow has grown and
matured substantially lately. The daughter of Ira and Shelia Rosenberg, Willow has always been very detached from her parents.
So detached, in fact, that her mother tried to set her on fire, paying homage to a demon that had created the Hansel and Gretel
fairytale, and used it to turn normal people into witch hunters and killers. In the end with Buffy, Willow and Amy tied up
to be burnt at the stake, Amy turned herself into a rat just before Giles, Xander & Oz distracted the crowd and the spell
cast by the demon enabling Buffy to use the stake, she was tied to, to kill the demon.
Willow's skills go far beyond her strengths and weaknesses as a witch; she is also a mad computer hacker,
a superb tutor and one of Buffy's two best friend since she moved to Sunnydale.
Not necessarily dependent on Buffy, Willow is often hurt by how people perceive her. As a matter of fact,
she tends to hide behind her need for companionship. She was always somewhat secretly attracted to Xander, until the incident
resulting in Cordelia being impaled on a piece of rebar (metal bar used in concrete), and she latched onto Buffy in sidekick
capacity as soon as the Slayer moved to Sunnydale. Then, Willow fell madly in love with Oz, who was later turned into a werewolf,
he was considered by most to be the coolest kid at Sunnydale High because of his affiliation with a popular band named Dingoes
Ate My Baby. Their relationship, like most of Willow's, ended up in misery when Oz could no longer control his primal instincts.
Most recently, Willow spent her time with her on-again/off-again lesbian lover and fellow witch, Tara who was gunned down
by on off the '3 Supervillians'.
During a crucial moment in her life, when Oz returned for her, Willow was spared the impossible task of choosing
between the two of them; when Oz discovered that she was what brought the beast out of him even though she was the reason
for him to control it. With Tara's knowledge of the occult and spells, Willow's strength grew beyond Tara's to the point where
Willow was using it for everyday things and for controlling those around her as she began to let it take over her life, always
the danger when dealing with magic.

After Tara discovered that Willow had cast mind control spells on her she left Willow saying that maybe one day they may,
possibly get back together. Willow then turned her focus on freeing Amy, who had turned herself into a rat almost 3 years
before. Finally remembering how to find the answer she managed to return Amy to her normal self, much to the shock of both
Amy and Buffy. Amy returned to her magic with a vengeance taking Willow along for the ride. After spoiling a night out with
Dawn, Willow discovered that she had released a demon into the world and as she and Dawn were running away from it she, while
still high on her magic buzz, lost control of the vehicle she was magically stealing and driving.
The crash severely injured Dawn and Willow, almost fatally. Once she realized what she had done and being slapped by
Dawn she admitted to having a problem. She worked with Buffy to clear the house of all magic and magic related items and quit
magic 100%--cold turkey. It has been hard but since she has kicked Amy out of her life permanently she had a chance of
making it.
Tara finally come back to her only to be gunned down. After getting dressed in the morning she and Tara were
talking to eachother when the bullet came in the window behind Tara and punctured through her heart spraying blood over Willow.
While trying to invoke the same magics she used to bring Buffy back she was confronted by a god whom she turned the full of
her magic on and hurt him considerable, will there be reprocussions for that in the future?
She then went on a rampage that included killing Warren, taking on the entire S. P. D., attacking Buffy, Dawn, Xander
and anyone she saw as an obstacle to her Revenge. She was then challenged by Giles supped up with all the powers of
a local coven of witches, even with that and his years of experiences he was no match for her, but then he wasn't supposed
to be. When she sucked the magic out of him it rekindled what little humanity was left in her allowing Xander to stop
her from using a Satanic temple to destroy ALL life on the planet. While he was doing this Buffy and Dawn were trapped
in an under ground chamber fighting earth creatures that Willow had sent to give Buffy the warriors death that she deserved,
it was a real bonding moment for the sisters. After Xander stopped Willow she broke down and cried in his arms renewing
the humanity in her soul.
