Free Speech

It's just a stupid town election, but Tara’s dad really wants a friend of his to win, so he takes her out of school, despite her English test.

Tara can feel him listening from outside the voting booth and it makes her both suffocated and angry. Her hand presses the button for another, random candidate.

When she comes out, she tries to act

Wow, pre-series Tara, now that's something I haven't seen.

Love this look at her character, so downtrodden and still so good at heart. And hopeful, too. Do I need to go listen to "Under Your Spell" now? I might.

I wrote Tara for manifesto, but didn't get around to posting, so I wanted to write her this week.

You should listen to Under Your Spell regardless, because it's awesome. Although I love the reprise because of the (fancy musical term for interweaving of voices) of Tara and Giles's voices.

Nice depiction. Based on what we see of Tara's family, I can totally see something like this happening.

Thank you! That's all I can ask for.

Oh, that's lovely. I haven't even thought about early Tara -- I wonder why that is.

Thanks.

Tara's past is actually quite hidden, which I like a lot. But she is so adorable with Willow that you kind of forget that you know her life mostly in very broad strokes.

This is a lovely look at Tara just starting to break away.

Thank you so much!
