Personality: Despite the enormity of her presence in Buffy, Willow actually is not all that complicated of a character. She is almost painfully well-meaning, though she often causes a lot of chaos and messes up despite her intentions. She starts the series very shy and nerdy, but throughout the course of the series she gains a good measure of confidence - her days of hiding behind headstones on patrol are long over. As a seasoned and powerful witch, as well as someone who's both experienced and caused a lot of pain, Willow can be particularly unflinching in the face of danger, especially when someone she cares about needs help ( ... )

Magic is something Willow sees as making her unique, special, and loved. It's important to remember the root of her character, and indeed of most Buffy characters: parental neglect. Willow grew to replace that need for parental approval with need for approval from her friends, but in her selfish, impulsive way, she wants to set the terms for what they'll approve of. It hit her unbelievably hard when she realized what she'd done wrong, and that the support of her friends was conditional on what they decided, not what she wanted it to be. Magic wasn't a fix-all, and she really could mess up irreparably. Telling Giles that he was jealous of her power, heady after her success of resurrecting Buffy, was the first sign of her denial that anything that made her happy could be wrong.

But, at the same time, these kinds of flaws are common in people her age. They just don't usually have the power to change someone's memory or end the world.

Abilities: She's a witch, which means she pretty much does whatever the plot needs her to at the moment ( ... )

Writing sample: [This was originally written for a lastvoyages app, and uses its setting.]

Willow was scared, scared of so many things, and the lack of Earth on the Barge made her feel so very nervous besides. Usually she could feel it, focus on it when things got wacky - like when certain coven members looked at her like she was a kind of bug that would destroy the world if they didn't squish it right away. She felt that way about herself a lot, so she knew where they were coming from.

Maybe it hadn't been a good idea to come here, but going back to Sunnydale seemed like an even worse one. Willow hadn't exactly finished her rehabilitation course; the irony of her coming here instead wasn't lost on her. Not lost at all. It was on purpose. If she did go evil again, the other wardens would smack her down to inmate, and she'd deserve it.

She just missed Tara so much. And going back, seeing the place where she'd been killed, where they'd been happy together, where she'd tortured someone... It was all too hard to contemplate. Not to mention Xander ( ... )
