Willow's happiness was short-lived, however, as Warren Mears decided to exact his revenge on Buffy via opening fire on the group, and killed Tara with a stray bullet. Willow continued to abuse her talents, going as far as seeing an evil warlock known as Rack - who was basically a supernatural drug dealer - eventually Willow was forced to realize the effects she was having on others when a demon summoned by one of her spells hospitalised Dawn, who she was supposed to be looking after.Īfter Willow promises to never use magic again (or at least not until she can control herself) Tara decides to forgive her and the two resume their relationship. However during the course of season six Willow's addiction became far worse than before and she endangered her friends on several occasions, to the point she even broke her promise to Tara to stay away from magic from a week (trying to erase her memories of the effects) - eventually Willow's behavior caused Tara to dump her. Sadly it was Willow's involvement with witchcraft that would become her undoing as she was unable to truly limit herself, drawn towards powerful and forbidden sorcery she had always had a problem with magic similar to addiction, however with help from her friends she usually overcame her dark desires.
The history of Willow before becoming corrupted is a fairly complex one but she had always been a fairly sweet-natured and attractive individual, starting off as a rather socially-awkward individual she grew in confidence as she grew older and somewhat famously became engaged in a same-sex relationship with Tara: the two of them becoming powerful witches.

The only time you were ever at peace in your whole life was when you were dead.
You're trying to sell me on the world? The one where you lie to your friends when you're not trying to kill them? Where you screw a vampire just to feel and insane asylums are the comfy alternative? This world? Buffy, it's me! I know you were happier when you were in the ground. Please! This is your pitch? You hate it here as much as I do! I'm just more honest about it.
The only thing Willow was ever good for.the only thing I ever had going for me were those moments.just moments.where Tara would look at me and I was wonderful. She got picked on through junior high, high school, right up until college.
