PHYSICAL APPEARANCE;;
ABILITIES;;
Throughout the series, Willow becomes more and more powerful. In Season two, she successfully casts her first spell. A gypsy curse which curses a vampire with his soul. This begins Willows long term career as a witch, eventually turning her into a goddess.
Throughout seasons 3 & 4, Willow shows slow progression in the magical world. She gains the ability to do spells that can “only be done by accomplished witches” in the words of Giles. She has a few mishaps due to external influences such as Ethan Rayne's chaotic magicks, and her grief over her love Oz leaving her. Her spells are varied and have many different uses. For example, she uses a clouding spell to hide the slayers as they combat a race of she-demon warriors.
In Season 5, Willow becomes in incredibly powerful witch. She has come into her own with magic. She completed a huge number of spells successfully, including some incredibly difficult (and dangerous feats) such as entering the mind of a catatonic Buffy and bringing her back psychically. Willow also attacks the Hell Goddess Glorificus and manages to hurt her with magic, a feat no-one so far in the fandom had managed. Not even the slayer herself. She also performs another feat in removing Tara's mind (that had been sucked out by the aforementioned Glorificus) from Glory's mind. Giving her back her human qualities.
In season 6, Willow becomes addicted to magic. Her abilites become erratic and vast, from turning people into sheep, making people grow and shrink, magically altering anything she sets her mind too. Eventually she beats her addiction. And her lover Tara returns to her. However, Willow's abilites become much more angry and vengeful when Tara is shot dead. Her power elevates, feeding on her rage and pain. Giving her access to many dark abilities such as the ability to kill someone by draining their life force. Unfortunately, it is this dark magic that drives her to seemingly kill Warren Meers and persue Andrew and Jonathan and try and kill them. Giles, imbued with the true essence of magic (prescribed to him by the wiccan coven in Westbury Devon) confronts Willow and doses her, knowing she'd steal his power to keep her tirade going. However, the true essence of magic has two effects on Willow. One, it arguably drives her more insane because she is connected to the pain of every living thing in the world (thus, she decides to attempt to destroy the world), giving her infinitely more power but secondly, it gives her the ability to feel human emotion again. And after a heartfelt speech from Xander, she stops trying to destroy the world and finally breaks down over the loss of her lover.
Willows abilities spike in season 7, when she uses the power of the slayer-scythe to remove the “one girl in every generation” rule to the slayer power. (The slayer being: “In every generation a girl is born, she alone will stand against the vampires and demons and the forces of darkness.”) Managing this feat, elevated her to goddess status. Her command and control over magic is now potentially the best in generations. She can now fly by force of will and can 'feel' changes in the world. She comments on this when the scoobies are standing over the wreckage of sunnydale saying: 'I can feel them [Potentials becoming slayers.] Buffy.'
STRENGTH/WEAKNESS;;
Willow's strengths lie in her magical abilities, and her ability to take control of a given situation should she need too. Normally quite happy to follow orders whilst contributing helpful suggestions, she is ready to take up the torch if she feels leadership is lax. Her other strengths include her bubbly personality and her above-average intelligence.
Willow's weaknesses lie in her personality flaws. She can loose confidence in herself if something she plans doesn't go correctly. Willow also has an addictive personality, as shown with her magical addiction. Another weakness of Willow are her friends. She'll do anything to save them. (even resurrect them.)
PERSONALITY;; Willow is a typical woman of maturity and fun. She is strong and independent most of the time and can take charge of a situation if she deems it necessary. It is this strength that causes her to take charge of a situation when her friends or people need her too as displayed several times throughout the entire series. An example is when Ms. Jennifer Calender is possessed by a demon, Cordelia and Xander fight. Willow stands up and proclaims “HEY! We don't have time for this! Our friends are in trouble! Now, we have to put our heads together and, and get them out of it! And if you two aren't with me a hundred and ten percent, then get the hell out of my library!”.
However, Willow was not always this budding woman of confidence. In her teen years, she was in fact the shy smart girl that was often dressed in “the softer side of Sears”. She was resolute in her ways, but was scared to tell anyone about them. If peer pressure came a-knocking, she'd bend, but would always believe she was doing wrong. Willow was a stickler for the rules too. She was used to rigid structure and didn't like breaking rules.
Like most people, Willow mellowed out when she hit college. Her relationship with her boyfriend Oz, and her exploration of magical arts saw her flower into a social butterfly ready to take college by storm. Her disastrous break up with Oz saw her fling herself in a swirling self-doubt, personified by the First Slayer attacking her new found identity, the dream persona's telling her that “everyone knows the truth about her.”
It is in this period that Willow realises that she is attracted to women, and her relationship with her longtime-lover Tara begins. Tara becomes a pillar of strength and continues to build Willow's confidence. And as her confidence grows as does her power. Both of these take a huge knock when she became addicted to magic. Tara left her and Willow span out of control, eventually crashing. Her strength of will was tested as she staved off her addiction for nearly three months.
Tara's death was a sudden and brutal shock to Willow. After their recent reconciliation sent her down harder than her addiction ever could. Resorting to the black arts, she attempts to bring her dead lover back to life. After this attempt fails, her magic is raging through her body calling for the man who killed Tara's blood. She turns from the human woman she was, to a vicious blood crazed witch who will not rest till the blood of those she sees responsible for the horrible event.
Once her blood rage is subsided by a healthy dose of pure magic essence and a heartfelt speech from her best friend, Willow returns to sunnydale a changed woman. Racked with the guilt of killing a human being, she wants to be free of her powers. Something she can't do. She spends the last televised series becoming more comfortable with herself, even enjoying a relationship with Kennedy before becoming the goddess responsible for breaking the rules of the slayer.
HISTORY;; The series starts with Willow being a typical geeky girl with an interest in computers and studying and not much else. When new girl Buffy Summers comes to school and is immediately swooped up by popular girl Cordelia Chase, Willow is really surprised when Buffy talks to her rather than Cordelia after their whirlwind conversation.
Willow's friendship with Buffy changes her life forever, introducing her to whats out there. Namely the darkness. Willow becomes an essential member of the scoobies quickly, helping whereever she can using her computer skills to hack and decrypt and look up information from the morgues and such.
In series one, Willow falls victim to the power of Morloch the corrupter, falling in love with a guy on the internet who is actually the demon disguising himself. However, the attraction soon disappears as the demon reveals himself. Willow's role in the destruction of the master was not as prevalent as her roles in later series.
Series Two shows Willow grow as a person. As does her role in the series. Willow becomes a brilliant demonic researcher and becomes the girlfriend of one Daniel “Oz” Osbourne. Willow's involvement with the musician develops as a result of several near-misses with talking to him. Willow also shows her computer prowess by teaching the high school computer lab class in place of Ms. Calender who dies at the hand of Angelus.
Willow's magical adventures begin here, as she is the one that finds Ms Calenders work on the curse that will stop Angelus being Angelus and return him to Angel by giving back her soul. After decrypting the spell, Willow tries to cast it. The first time? She is unsuccessful. And is attacked by Angel's cronies. However, the second attempt works, just as Buffy has the upper hand in the battle they are fighting.
Willow begins season 3 trying and not entirely unsuccessfully trying to keep the vampire population down as Buffy is rediscovering herself. Throughout the season, she becomes the “good angel” for Buffy as Faith tries to pull her across to the darkside. Her magical prowess grows, managing to cast several successful spells. Willow also looses her virginity to Oz during the graduation which is actually a plot by the Mayor to ascend himself to the status of a true demon.
Season 4 begins Willow and Buffy at college. Willow immediately gets into the swing of things aceing her classes and generally swimming in the flow of college. Until her catastrophic break up with Oz. This breakup is the result of Oz's werewolf nature luring him into sleeping with a female werewolf. After finding out, Willow attempts to doom Oz to never be able to love again, but can't bring herself to cause him pain. However, the female werewolf has other ideas, and attempts to kill Willow. After killing the female werewolf name Verruca, Oz leaves Sunnydale. Willow feels the pain of his leaving dramatically. Attempting several things, drinking and magic, to heal her hurt. But nothing seems to work. Time passes and Willow starts to notice the intrest of a girl named Tara who she meets at the campus wicca group.
Willow's steady falling in love with Tara was an incredible healer for Willow. Their shared interest in magic being the driving force that pushes their relationship to such soaring levels even early on. Willow is finally ready to accept Tara as her girlfriend just as Oz returns to show her he can repress the influence of his werewolf. After Oz is kidnapped after attacking Tara, Willow decides that Tara is the woman she loves. And wants to be with.
The series ends with the gang being a lot stronger after drifting slowly through the fourth season. However, Season five brings a huge list of challenges. Willow's magical power is growing formidibly, as is Buffy's strength and Xanders grasp on real life. When their memories of Dawn are implanted by the monks, Willow is an older sister figure to the mini-Summers child. Throughout the Season Willow looks after Dawn and supports Buffy. In this series we first see the presence of Black-eyed Willow. A measure of how powerful she is becoming. She is the only member of the entire cast who effectively gets the goddess Glorificus to feel pain. Willow plays a key role in weakening the goddess while Buffy and Giles eventually kill her.
Season 6 begins with Willow casting the spell to bring Buffy back from the dead. Her power is great now, that it is causing Tara and Giles to worry about how powerful she is getting. This is characterised with Willow's inability to control how and when she uses spells. Even when she promises not too. The realisation she has become addicted finally hits home when she is responsible for the accident that breaks Dawn's arm.
Willow successfully gives up the magic for nearly three months before reuniting with her lover who left her after she broke her promise to give up the magic. Two days after their reconciliation, Tara is shot dead. The blood splattering over Willow's body. She takes revenge after draining the magic shop of all of the dark magic, then draining a powerful warlock and ultimately the true essence of magic. The essence of magic taps into her humanity and prevents her from destroying the world as she plans, wanting to end the pain everyone in the world is feeling. (Evil side effect of power huh?)
In season 7, Willow comes back, scared of herself and what she might do, or what might happen to her if she uses her powers. This fear is intensified when the first Evil attempts to corrupt her every time she invokes magic that could damage the First Evil's plan in anyway. However, this fear is dispelled at the end of the series, after she uses her power, and the power of the slayer-scythe to destroy the binds on the Slayers power, keeping it “one girl in every generation.” I take Willow from the ambiguous gap between Seasons 7 and 8.

Where are I?
I don't know if anyone can hear this... But what's going on?

SAMPLE RP POST;; (Remember, in THIRD PERSON)
Willow had been fighting demons for seven years. It had taken years and years for her to build up her power, but this was it. The defining moment. She added the last seven powders in exact equal proportions, stirring the mixture as thoroughly as she could.
A branch of eucalyptus ground in her pestle and mortar, she mixed the juice extracted into the cauldron. Now for the magic. “I call on thee... goddess of beauty. Bless my creation.” The mixture glowed a rose pink for a few seconds. Before turning an attractive purple colour. Now... for the test.
Lifting her skirt, she took a tiny amount of the paste and rubbed it on a patch of short hairs on her ankle. A light tingling sensation spread out from the patch, and the hair on her leg floated gently down to the floor. “Oh yeah~ I'm good.” She grins to herself, bottling the rest of her mixture.
