Shy and bookish,
but wise beyond her years, Willow is a little boat sailing against the
high school's current. Her one true love, Xander, sees her only as one
of his "best buds," and ever it shall be thus. The other high school boys
don’t appreciate that she's a babe about to happen, and it's their loss.
