Five Things About Willow

[caitri]

1) She truly loves Buffy. Not the way she loved Tara, or loves Kennedy, but not the way you'd love a sister either. She used to hate her a little too, though, in a way she could never even articulate to herself: How Buffy was power, even at her weakest. Even when Willow taps into the power of the Earth and can feel the Light infusing her, that kernel of darkness is inside her and the very opposite of her friend, and it scares her to death.

2) She never told Sheila about Tara. She's never told her about Kennedy either. But they talk maybe twice a year about nothing, and she knows she should feel guilty about that, too, but she doesn't.

3) She read The Mists of Avalon when she was ten. She things that explains quite a few things about her life, all of them after the fact
