Willow/Alyson Bio
Willow Rosenberg
Willow Rosenberg was born to Ira and Sheila Rosenberg; she is the only Jewish member of the Scooby Gang (now she is a very powerful Wiccan). She doesn't appear to have the most superb family life; her parents are out of touch with Willow's life, and her mother once tried to burn her at the stake. Willow has been friends with Xander since childhood (when they were five, they "dated" briefly until Xander stole her Barbie doll), and she quickly became best friends with Buffy when she came to town. Willow is extremely intelligent, a whiz on computers, and an excellent student who is known for her tutoring abilities. She has helped Buffy and Giles numerous times by hacking into various records and databases, and she even taught Jenny Calendar's computer class after Jenny was killed by Angelus. Willow long had "more than friends" feelings toward Xander, and after years of ignoring her, Xander finally seemed to return those feelings — while the two were both dating other people. When Oz and Cordelia found out about their indiscretion, they ended it, and Willow and Oz were able to save their relationship, unlike Xander and Cordelia. Willow will probably always have a soft spot for Xander, as demonstrated by her crying jag when she found out that Xander had slept with Faith. Nonetheless Willow later lost her own virginity to Oz. Willow had a hard time when Oz left Sunnydale. In college Willow met Tara. They started out as friends but eventually became girlfriends. Oz came back and Willow had a hard time in deciding between him and Tara. She chose Tara though and they have both become very powerful witches. After Buffy died she and Tara moved in to help with Dawn and when Willow brought Buffy back in the begining of season 6 she and Tara remained living there. Eventually Willow's use of magic got out of hand and Tara left her because of it. Willow stopped using magic all together. She and Tara got back together but very soon after Tara was shot accidently by Warren (the "leader" of the Trio). Willow went crazy and started using all power she could find. She killed Warren and tried to end the world but was stopped by Xander and how much he loves her.
Alyson Hannigan
Alyson Lee Hannigan, 28, got her start in show business at four years old, modeling and appearing in commercials (for such companies as McDonald's, Six Flags Amusement Parks, and Oreo cookies). At some point, her family moved to Atlanta, and later to California, so that Alyson could audition for more roles. At fourteen, she got her first big role, in the film, My Stepmother is an Alien; interestingly, Seth Green played her love interest in the movie. Though she continued working, Alyson didn't get famous until she got the part of Willow on Buffy, and the recognition has allowed her to start getting bigger roles in bigger movies. Alyson enjoys soccer (she hasn't played too much since she was injured at thirteen, though), she is a fan of old Shirley Temple movies, and she loves dolphins. She is computer literate, though not so much as her BtVS character, and she has been known to check out some of the fan sites dedicated to her and even to post at the official site's posting board. Also of interest: a "Missouri pop punk band" called the Klopecs wrote a song about Aly.
