Tara
At first not much was known about Tara. She was a girl who Willow meet in the so called Wicca club at UC Sunnydale. Tara always quiet and reserved. Two two became friends as the both quit the club. Tara would soon learn that things in Sunnydale aren't call it's cracked up to be. Tara was almost killed by the Gentelmen when their voices were taken away but found Willow and the two hid and the two found how much of a connection they have by using magic to baracade the door. The two became good friends as time went on but as time went on we learn that they would we become even better friends infact girlfriends. Willow revealed this to Buffy near the end of the fourth season. Eventualy it was out. Tara also played a role in the season four finale as she played a part in everyone's dream. Infact giving cryptic information in Buffy's dream about count down to 7-3-0. Which would ultimately be information on next season when Dawn would appear. Through season five Willow and Tara remained a couple and Tara became a part of the Family as when her regular family came to town to take Tara back thinking that she will turn into a demon on her 20th birthday. Spike was good enough to prove that she wasn't by punching her in the nose but also putting some pain into him cause of the chip. The scoobies stood up to her "bloodkin" and told them that they were her family. As the season went on when trying to figuere out about They Key and Glory, Tara was unfortunatly one in the casulty line as Glory brain sucked her. Towards seasons end Willow found a way to reverse it and turn Tara back to normal. During the sixth season Tara helped with raising Buffy from the grave but also her and Willow have hit a rocky point when she has been using to much magic. Tara and Willow seperated for now, but still plays a part in raising Dawn. Tara stayed seperated from Willow and later eventualy hooking back up with Willow and seeing her process to keep off magic. Unfortunatly this reunion would be short as she was shot by a stray bullet from Warren's gun in his attempt to kill Buffy. Tara was a great friend to the scoobies and Willow and definitly will not be forgotten as she played a big part in all their lives.
