why i think quirky Willow is the best Willow version
she is totally relatable given in the earlier seasons she is awkward, intelligent and a little anxious. love her little rambles so much she basically reminds me of myself cause i do ramble a lot. also her self conscious humour feels really genuine. her kindness stands out a lot throughout the earlier seasons by being loyal, willingness to help her friends out and of course her compassion. she is genuinely herself also she reminds everyone of ordinary friendship and everyday life
her enthusiasm is infectious she gets really excited when talking about computers, books or learning magic and she approaches things with excitement and curiosity which represents me in a way as well also adding she is very optimistic in many ways.
last but not least you get to watch her grow and that's an amazing thing.
