| Character.
That secret that you know, but you don't know how to tell... |
|
| Name:Willow Rosenberg
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Age: 21
PB: Alyson Hannigan
Job: She is a University student and a Substitute teacher at the high school as well as a tutor. Willow was often asked to take over teachers classes when they were absent during high school.
Powers/Abilities: Willow is a witch, an incredibly power witch. She's not quite sure of the extent of her powers and finds that they are constantly growing.
However, her current tendencies are:
- Telekinesis - Ex: She'll be laying in bed willing her curtains to close and suddenly they will/she'll be sitting on her couch thinking about the book on her table and suddenly it will be hovering in front of her.
- Electrically Sparking Finger - Sometimes when she literally feels her fingers 'itching' for something, these sparks will appear, but only sometimes.
- Black Eyes - Willow has issues with anger that manifest themselves in her eyes literally turning jet black for a moment when she's particularly infuriated. But, they go back to green very quickly.
Willow is so powerful that her feelings and thoughts can unconsciously have magical effects. While she can't always grasp the extent of her abilities, her magic is still very aware of her and letting itself out slowly.
Sexual Orientation: Bi-sexual, however with more of a leaning toward hetero in the recent years due to her lover's death.
Appearance: Willow his bright red hair and green eyes. She has an athletic build, but she's not sure why because she never was into athletics, and is about 5'3".

| Personality.
It fucks with your honor, and it teases your head...

|
| Willow has always been very shy, but with a quick tongue that has gotten her into light trouble. She's sweet as all hell and will go to the ends of the earth for the people she cares about. Once she knows you though, she's much more willing to call you on your shit.
She doesn't like fake people, and she'll do what she can to distance herself from those people.
She has this knack for saying dirty things, and not realizing she's said them. She's not slow, but her mind doesn't always go there. When it does, she'll blush like all the blood is about to pour from her cheeks.
She babbles a lot and stutters a bit when she gets nervous.
She cried in kindergarten when she broke the yellow crayon, and that has basically been a big metaphor for the rest of her life.

| History.
But you know that it's good girl, 'cause it's running you with red...

Willow grew up in a Jewish household with two moderately absent parents. Her best friend was a boy named Xander Harris. She met him in kindergarten and they'd been joined at the hip ever since. He was the Id to her superego, the devil to her angel, everything that would seal her fate as the worrier...and she was okay with that because she was completely in love with him.
Willow had always been a geek in High School. She requested extra homework from the teachers, and took over classes when they were absent...or died.
When she was 16 she started developing her magical abilities in an attempt to do everything in her power to help her best friend, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, save the world. Over the years, in doing so, she developed a small dependency on magic, quickly finding out that she could use it to fix anything. No one saw this as it progressed.
While her first love was her best friend, Xander, her second love was a guy named Oz. Oz was the strong silent type, but chill as all hell. He was another guy that was yet again an opposite to Willow. Where she babbled, he listened; where she worried, he calmed her down; where she panicked, he also panicked but in a much chiller monotone fashion. He was also a werewolf. Every full moon, she helped watch her boyfriend scratch at a cage door while she read with a tranquilizer gun next to her. You could see her starting to pull more and more out of her shell with Oz around. However, when they hit college, Oz felt as if he'd lost control and had to leave, fearing himself as a danger to her.
Her last and most recent love was a girl named Tara. Tara shaped Willow's final personality. Where she had been a cute shy around Oz, Tara help Willow become a strong Wiccan woman. Willow was a witch that found too much comfort in dark magic after the death Tara. She had been attempting to reform for a period of time before Tara's death, to only let the light show, but she'd been having a difficult time of it. When Tara was killed, Willow lost any ounce of control she'd still possessed. Black magic took over Willow's core being and she attempted to hurt everyone she loved and all of those that loved her. It was Xander that brought her back to "crayon-breaky Willow" with unknowingly perfectly timed words of unconditional love.
After Tara's death, Willow noticed that she found it easier connecting emotionally with men. It hurt too much to think another woman could take Tara's place. Tara was the one woman she felt she could ever love. Every other woman would be a cheap reminder of what she'd had that had been destroyed. |

|
| After what happened in Sunnydale, Willow's mentor Giles decided that she needed a break from the Hellmouth. He sent her to England where she lived for 6 months. He felt she needed to retire to a place that would allow her to heal, both emotionally and spiritually and perhaps continue the growth that he felt was stunted by her life in Sunnydale. However, after no more than 6 months, Willow was ready to begin moving on with her life. Of course she thought about Tara and what she did everyday. But, she was also incredibly aware that hiding away in London would do her no good.
Willow began searching for a place she could go that possessed no connection to Sunnydale. She missed her friends, her family, but felt she couldn't move forward if she returned to them.
Understanding completely, Giles helped Willow secure a job at the high school of a town called Harmony. It was a small town with no notable evil in it's past as far as he could see. Willow was very willing to give the place a shot.
She's lived in Harmony for 3 years now, a teacher of high school Computer Science, History, and Social Studies. Additionally, she is a TA at Harmony University for a Women's Studies professor. |

![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) washedout | THE BOY Even though Wash is really the "older man" he seems more like a big kid. But Willow really likes that about him -- he's a child at heart, and he's never boring. They've been through a lot, but Willow really wants to make things work between them. Especially because, if this falls apart, she's pretty sure she knows where the blame should be placed.
|
lookslikeher | THE CHARGE Willow gets that family is important. So she really would like to get along with Elena. But so far, their relationship has been less than warm. Elena seems to be focused on herself and the fact she doesn't want to be here ... but all that aside, Willow wants to get to know her better. Make the best of a situation... right?

| IN-GAME RELATIONSHIPS |
thefauxblonde | THE COHORT Willow and Heather have only known each other for a couple months, but it feels like it's been years. Heather has a darker humor that Willow really likes -- not to mention they are similar in age and have shared interests. All that aside, Willow feels completely comfortable with Heather. She knows she can't talk to her about anything, but it's okay. Willow can talk to her about the big things, and that's what matters.
|
cloudedskyes | THE DALLIANCE What happened between them is unequivocally a mistake. There really is no other way to put it. Maybe it was nice, and maybe it gave Willow all these weird familiar-vibes. But it's over now, with some frayed feelings on both sides. It may be awkward, but Willow hopes they can be friends -- because Willow doesn't want that mistake to ruin what chance they had.
|
lightofnayru | THE KINDRED SPIRIT Zelda may be younger than Willow is, but somehow, she identifies with her. There is just something about her she can't shake. Willow likes to think of herself as a guide, someone Zelda can trust to give her advice and help her if she needs it. And she hopes Zelda knows that. They seem to feel the same way on certain things, and unfortunately, share some tragic similarities. And if having someone to talk to makes those similarities any better, well -- Willow is certainly there.
|
_shizuka_ | THE NEW LINK Willow and Shizuka don't share much in common besides the bright red of their hair, but even still, Willow can't help but like the girl. She's very sweet, and innocent -- the kind of girl you want to shelter and ease out into the open at the same time. It's hard to tell now, but hopefully their relationship will bloom into a great friendship.
|
madeoffabulous | THE UNLIKELY CONFIDANT Lilly is a weird mix of sweet and abrasive. Willow would like to be able to identify with her and help her, even give her some advice. After all, Willow has gone through some of the things Lilly is dealing with. Lilly was an ear when things were very difficult for Willow and the redhead had no one to talk to. She could be helpful. But Lilly is as stubborn as a mule and needless to say, the insight Willow gives isn't always respected. Even still, Willow isn't going to give up trying. Maybe one of these days it'll get through.
|
killerbody | THE PAIN Willow sees Jennifer for what she is -- shallow, mean, and unapproachable. And she has gotten the distinct sense that Jennifer doesn't like her, either, despite the fact she can't point out a specific instance of ill-will. As a sub, it would be unprofessional to just admit the bad blood between them. But, somehow, a tiny part of Willow thinks Jennifer deserves it when chairs weirdly end up moving as she tries to sit down or when a table is just barely in her way as she stubs her toe. ...Is it weird that Jennifer is only klutzy when she's in Willow's presence?
