Yeah, I think those aspects of Willow have been under explored in 
fic.  It's not just that she was too possessive of Xander, but 
eveyone in her life.  She wanted to be THE center of Buffy's world, 
and saw Faith (BEFORE she went bad) as invading her territory.  And, 
of course, there was how she kept Tara in line.

these '100% white or black' portrayals as they always seem somewhow 
fake, lacking in humanity. Give me the flawed hero, and in Willow's 
case the 'best and at times worst friend' portrait and it works with 
all its layers. 

Yep, my favorite characters on the show aren't all good or all bad.  

> On the show she sure wasn't overly loyal to Oz, hey? That's worth 
some thought. I'd say canon Willow seems to have a thing for romance 
with best buds. Both of em ;)
But then, given her current choice of girlfriend, a brunette, 
bratty, spoiled, rich girl, I have to wonder if we read who she was 
jealous of during Xander's and Cordy's thing wrong all these 
years  :)
