Appearance:
build;; Willow's appearance changes drastically over the course of the show to reflect her growing level of confidence and power. In her initial appearances, she dressed like a little girl and her mother still picked out her clothes for her. Cordelia comments on this cruelly stating, "Good to know you've seen the softer side of Sears!" After Buffy encourages Willow to "seize the day", her dress sense begins to reflect the growing confidence that her friendship with the Slayer grants her.
Willow has blossomed through her relationship with Oz, and her appearance reflects this. She cuts her hair shoulder-length (although it takes her mother several months to notice this) and develops a penchant for fluffy sweaters and peculiar hats. One of her memorable outfits is her pink sweater. Feeling undervalued by her friends, Willow threatens to change her look, shortly before the arrival of the alternate universe Vamp Willow, dressed in her iconic leather outfit. Upon seeing Vamp Willow, Percy asks her if she is "trick-or-treating", while Buffy describes her as a dominatrix. Upon seeing her human alter-ego's pink sweater, Vamp Willow teases her by saying, "Well, look at me. I'm all fuzzy." When she later wakes up dressed in said sweater, Vamp Willow says "Oh, this is like a nightmare, Spikes admits that he finds Willow's "fuzzy pink number with the lilac underneath" to be arousing.
By college, Willow cuts her hair even shorter, and begins to wear long skirts and high shoes, which make her appear significantly taller and more confident than in her shy, wallflower years in high school. However, it is revealed through a dream that Willow feels she is only hiding her true geeky nature, with Buffy and Riley describing her normal clothes as a "costume." She finds herself back in a high school classroom, where Buffy rips off her "costume", leaving her dressed in her "softer side of Sears" outfit from shortly before being attacked by the Primitive. Willow focuses her grief over the death of Buffy's mother Joyce Summers on what clothes to wear while visiting Buffy at the hospital. She describes her clothes as having "stupid things on them" and asks why she can't dress "like a grown-up."
When Willow is consumed by black magic she inadvertently takes on a goth look. Dark Willow, as Andrew Wells refers to her can be identified by her black hair, black eyes, and numerous veins over her face. Xander described Dark Willow's appearance as the "makeover of the damned", but later assured her that he loved "scary, veiny Willow" just as much as "crayon breaky Willow." Willow's hair and eyes revert to their natural colour following Xander's heroic speech but she sometimes resumes this appearance when her powers are pushed to their limits, such as battling the Crimslaw demon or Amy
Willow's hair has grown slightly longer and she dresses more maturely. While performing the spell to activate the potential Slayers her hair briefly turns white, contrasting the benevolent intent behind this spell against the black magic performed by Dark Willow.

History:
((OOC: sorry if its too long , Willow is my favourite character on tv ; hehe I tend to rant about her all the time ))
Willow Rosenberg was born to Sheila and Ira Rosenberg. Her middle name is given as "Danielle" Her supercilious and distant mother, a psychologist, Under the influence of a demon, Sheila tries to burn her daughter at the stake for being a witch, and though she loses much of her memory of the incident, Willow does not. Willow may have inherited from her mother a strong sense of outrage against political injustice, especially that committed against Native Americans, Kennedy and Willow talk about how their parents reacted to their being gay, Willow mentioned to Kennedy that her mother thought it was a political statement but later she realized that Willow was serious about being lesbian and was less enthusiastic about it. Her father, never seen, is hinted to be equally uninvolved. Willow reveals that she has a fear of frogs, a fact she exploits to help Buffy escape.
Willow is a shy, naïve nerd with a light, risqué sense of humor. A member of the Math, Science, and Computer clubs, she is the person to go to for tutoring help. Willow is ridiculed by her more popular classmates, including cheerleaders Cordelia Chase and Harmony Kendall. She has a hopeless crush on her lifelong friend Xander Harris, who ignores her to pursue his equally hopeless crush on Buffy Summers. Willow soon becomes Buffy's best friend, and upon learning that she is actually the Slayer, dedicates herself to aiding her friend in the battle against evil.
Although at first, Willow was mostly useful to the Scooby Gang through her computing and hacking skills, in Season Two she begins to develop an interest in spells and witchcraft. She also becomes more assertive, leading the Scoobies in Buffy's absence. After discovering Xander kissing Cordelia, a heartbroken Willow decides to move on, starting a romantic relationship with Daniel 'Oz' Osbourne, a guitarist in the local band Dingoes Ate My Baby. She continues to date him after the revelation that he is a werewolf.
When Jenny Calendar, a computer science teacher and technopagan who Willow admired, is murdered by Buffy's vampire boyfriend Angelus, Willow agrees to teach her classes for the rest of the year. During this time, she goes through her former favorite teacher's belongings and dabbles in magic, performing the Ritual of Restoration to re-ensoul Angel.
Willow continues to blossom through witchcraft and her relationship with Oz. Joining a coven with fellow magic-users Amy Madison and Michael Czajak, Willow becomes the victim of witch-hunt led by the parents of Sunnydale who form a group called Mothers Opposed to the Occult (MOO) While being held hostage by Spike, Willow and Xander share a kiss and are discovered by Oz and Cordelia. Although Cordelia breaks up with Xander for good, Oz and Willow manage to work things out eventually. Tired of being "old reliable", Willow aids former vengeance demon Anya Jenkins in a spell unwittingly releasing her own vampire counterpart from an alternate universe. Despite being accepted by several colleges, including Harvard, Yale, and Oxford, Willow decides to attend UC Sunnydale so that she can continue fighting the "good fight" with Buffy.
Willow suffers heartbreak and comes to terms with her own
sexuality. Moving across town to UC Sunnydale, Willow and Buffy become roommates at Room 214 in Stevenson Hall. When Oz leaves town after cheating on Willow with another werewolf, a devastated Willow casts a spell to have her will done, accidentally endangering her friends' lives in the process. She joins the campus Wicca group, a disappointing experience but for the presence of serious witch Tara Maclay. After discovering each other's magic, they become friends, lovers, and later soulmates. Oz returns after gaining control over his wolf-side, with hopes of continuing his relationship with Willow. After some serious consideration, and coming out to Buffy, Willow chooses Tara over Oz.
Willow's power increase at a dramatic rate. Her relationship with Tara is strengthened when she discovers how she rose above her family's abusive lies. They argue when Tara voices her concerns at how powerful Willow has become over the past few months. Shortly afterwards, Tara is "brain-sucked" by the hell-goddess Glory, left in an insane, babbling state. Ignoring Buffy's warnings, Willow arms herself for a fight and attacks Glory with knives and dark magic; managing to weaken her significantly before Buffy comes to the rescue. When Buffy later goes into a catatonic state, Willow magically enters her mind and frees her, assuring her that they will find a way to defeat Glory. In the final fight against Glory, Willow manages to slow her down by restoring Tara's mind; reuniting with her lover. However, Buffy is forced to sacrifice herself to save the life of her sister, Dawn.
Willow suffers an unbearable loss and faces her own dark side. Her magical skills first peak when she leads Tara, Xander, and Anya in resurrecting Buffy. Afterwards, Willow becomes addicted to using magic, and her disregard for the consequences of her actions eventually drives Tara away and lands Dawn in the hospital. With Tara's departure and Dawn's injury, Willow is forced to face her problem and stops using magic. When Tara is murdered by Warren Mears, however, a grief-stricken Willow unleashes the dark energies once more, and her vengeance reaches a climax when she uses magic to flay Warren alive.
Willow absorbs volumes of magic as she pursues Jonathan Levinson and Andrew Wells, Warren's accomplices, turning against her friends in the process. Her attempt to trigger the apocalypse is thwarted by Xander who refuses to leave her out of love, regardless of what she has done or is doing. This eventually causes Willow to break down over her actions (partially because she has absorbed power from Giles that put her back in touch with her true emotions and feelings).
Willow is forced to deal with her magical nature and her place in the universe after some time in England with Giles. She slowly regains control of her powers and begins a relationship with Potential Slayer Kennedy. After their first kiss, Willow finds herself transforming into Warren, the result of a hex placed on her by a vengeful Amy. Kennedy saves her by helping her come to terms with Tara's death and move on.Willow battles the being later known as Jasmine, and restores Angel's soul for the second time. Willow is able to overcome her dark side and use her powers for good again; changing the rules for the entire Slayer line.

RP Sample:
As Willow walked down to The Bronze something occurred to her. She had yet to see Anya today, yet she had seen Xander earlier and Anya wasn't with him.That was strange. Anya was always where Xander was. It made her jealous of them sometimes that they had such a good trusting relationship.
Then she entered the familiar club which most of the Sunnydale adolescence attended.The music was loud and people were laughing and having a good time. It was here that she was supposedly meeting Buffy. It had been a long time since they'd hung out. These days they were both so busy with their lives they only really saw each other for an hour at home.
But this was a chance for them to reconnect. Willow hated the fact that since she had began playing with the magics things now always tense with The Scooby Gang, sometimes she wished that she had never started with the magics, but who was she when she wasn't a super-girl. Just some computer whisperer or what was it Buffy had called her once Old Reliable that was a pathetic nickname and it was even more pathetic as it was true.
But sure she had shown in the past there was more to her then Reliable , she alone had nearly destroyed the world for crying out loud. Her pain was to much and after Tara's death Willow's dark inner demons had come loose and they nearly destroyed her and everyone she loved. Luckily enough Xander who was Willow's best-est friend in the entire world came to her rescue , unlike Buffy he had no powers what so ever. But his one power is he speaks from his heart. 'I love you' was all he said , and Willow Rosenberg was brought back to life and the Earth was still normal.
