She has come a long way from the shy, nerdy girl we met to the most powerful Wiccan in this plain of existence. The wily ways and sometimes risky humour entertained us and not to mention the jaw dropping kisses and sex scenes of a lesbian nature that we witnessed
Season one – We meet Willow and she is portrayed as a nerdy girl that does not risk much. She herself says she has had a crush on Xander since they were five, but because of her nature she was too afraid to do something about those feelings. Here Buffy becomes her best friend alongside Xander and helps her gain some confidence in who she is. During the course of the first season her main role is to aid Giles in his research via the internet and hacking into databases. Season two – In this season Willow starts to explore the magicks. After Angelus murders Miss Calendar – the computer sciences teacher, Willow is given her class to teach. She also gets a bit of a more aggressive make over as she leads the Scooby’s in Buffy’s absence. Due to her long standing crush on Xander and his betrayal of her trust by getting into a relationship with Cordelia, Willow decides to risk it all and starts a relationship with Oz the lead guitarist of Dingoes Ate My Baby and who it turns out is a werewolf. At the end of the season she has become such an expert witch she is able to re – ensoul Angelus and revert him back to Angel before Buffy sent him to hell.
Season three – Here Willow explores even further with the magicks and we are introduced to her doppelganger – vampire Willow from another dimension, who as Willow describes – might even be a little gay, giving us reference to her future lesbian relationships. Willow joins a coven with Amy Madison and Michael Czajak which didn’t last long. Willow and Xander are taken hostage by Spike and share a kiss but didn’t know Oz and Cordelia were in the doorway watching them and having come to their rescue. Cordelia and Xander’s relationship didn’t make it but Willow and Oz were able to patch things up. Oz was also the person to take her virginity just before the assault on the Major at Graduation Day. She was approached by Yale, Harvard and Oxford but chose UC Sunnydale because she could be with Buffy and help with the good fight.Season four – After some trials and tribulations Willow and Buffy become roommates but even while living together they drifted away from each other and only fully reconnected at the end of the season. This season was full of self discovery for Willow – she and Oz broke it off after his carnal relations in werewolf form with another werewolf, resulting in Oz leaving Sunnydale on a journey of self discovery and trying to tame the beast inside. Trying to further her magicks she joins a coven on campus, which resulted in the meeting of Tara McClay, her soul mate. She and Tara met and took things slow with Willow eventually coming out of the closest at the end of the season. She conjured a very powerful spell at the end of the season combining her essence with those of Buffy, Xander and Giles and going forth in destroying Adam in the Initiative.
Season five – This season sees Willow’s magic power increase dramatically and her relationship with Tara strengthens. Willow doesn’t have as much to do in this season and it’s only after Glory mistakes Tara for her key and brain sucks Tara does Willow really feature. Fuelled by her desire for revenge Willow goes on a rampage and fights Glory woman on god and we get a glimpse of dark Willow that rears again in season six. Even though in their first encounter Willow doesn’t do that much damage she gets a feel for the god and knows what to do the next time they meet. At the end of the season Willow reverses the brain suck on Glory restoring Tara to her rightful mind and significantly weakening the god and giving Buffy the chance of defeating her.
Season six – Here Willow spirals out of control, after an argument with Tara about Willow using too much magic, Tara leaves Willow and tells her she much quit the magicks and she’ll come back. At the start of the season we get another glimpse of Willow’s power when she restores Buffy back to life and her powers only grow as the season progresses. After Tara left, Willow de-ratted Amy and went on a magic spree with her while being introduced to Raiffe the warlock who enhances Willows powers but infects her with an addiction for it. Only after landing Dawn in the hospital and facing the loss of Tara does Willow decide to face her problems of abuse and quits magic. In one of the most heart wrenching scenes, Warren Mears shoots and kills Tara (which made me cry) and ultimately resulting in the awakening of dark, veiny Willow who goes on a rampage resulting in her filleting Warren alive and hunting the other two of the Trio. With the retuning Giles, he imbues her with the true essence of magic and using Xander are they able to talk Willow off of the proverbial cliff and calm her down.
Season seven – Starting off Willow was taken by Giles to England to learn the meaning of magic and help her deal and control her powers. When returning to Sunnydale she had to make amends with her friends who she tried to kill. After the tragic demise of Tara, Willow found a new love in the form of a potential Slayer named Kennedy. When the first evil rears its head, it’s Willow that has the power to turn the tables on it. During the build-up to the final battle with the first, Willow gets a call from Fred in Los Angeles, asking her for help. Willow goes to Los Angeles and battles with Jasmine a former Power That Be that has come to earth, and re – ensouls Angelus for a second time and also retrieves Faith and brings her to Sunnydale to help against The First. Willow was used in the final battle not as a fighter but as the person that would change the Slayer line forever, she used the Slayer Scythe to tap into the Slayer powers and turn all the potential Slayers into real Slayers thus making her a goddess on earth. 
Relationships:
Major relationships for Willow are:
Daniel “Oz” Ozbourne – the werewolf and her first boyfriend
Tara McClay – the witch and her ultimate soul mate

Some other relationships that just didn’t last:
Xander Harris – fellow Scooby and long time crush but never reciprocated
Malcolm Black – the demon Moloch in human form

She is a wonderful person and a great friend.
