I want to be strong and wise to protect everyone I love. And if anyone gets in the way, they'll feel the sting of defeat.

—Willow stating her deepest wish

**Willow Park** is a major supporting character of *The Owl House*. She is friends with Luz, Gus, and Amity and attends the same magic school as them. She was originally part of the abomination track but is now on the plant track. Willow is naturally very gifted at plant magic, but since she was forced into the abomination track which she proved far less adept with, many on Hexside assumed she was incompetent. This led to years of self-doubt that she has made great strides in overcoming.

Following the Day of Unity and the unleashing of the Collector, she was stranded in the Human Realm for months and forced to take shelter at the Noceda residence. She and her friends have only recently returned to the Demon Realm and the Boiling Isles.

## Appearance

### Body

Willow is a shorter-than-average, plus-sized and stocky girl who has light skin, pointed ears, olive green eyes, and short, neat, dark navy-blue hair with a few loose strands.

Starting from the end of "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", Willow's hair has been braided into twin pigtails and has a few pale green streaks dyed into it, courtesy of Amity. After spending some time in the Human Realm, her hair has grown longer, so she then keeps it in twin braids that go past her shoulders. She later paints her nails dark red as part of her Halloween costume.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Willow's hair is shown to have been been cut short, still with a green streak, which she wears with a leaved headband around it. She has a cardinal tattoo of on her left shoulder much like the rest of her friends, to symbolize the loss of Flapjack.

### Clothing

Willow wears a pair of round gold-framed glasses and the typical Hexside student uniform, consisting of a gray tunic and a dark gray cowl and belt with a gold pin and gray-black short-heeled shoes. Originally, her sleeves and tights were orchid as part of her enrollment in the abomination track, but after being moved to the plant track, they changed to green. Prior to "Any Sport in a Storm", the frames of her glasses were black, and she wore the standard boots.

When not at school, Willow wears a long sleeved yellowish-tan dress that has a blue tie with an oval chartreuse gem on it, light gray and dark gray striped leggings, and brown boots. As of "Clouds on the Horizon", she sports a sleeveless yellowish-tan vest over a mid-length sleeved pale green shirt with a gold button, white collar and cuffs, blue shorts, silver and slate-gray leggings, and maroon heeled boots with light blue socks underneath. She retains her blue tie, but with a gold gem.

During the time skip in "Thanks to Them", Willow sports a pink sleeveless top with white shoulder straps, green shorts, blue flip-flops and a pink butterfly hair clip. She wears several more outfits throughout her stay but has two prominent sets of clothes she wears. The first is a harvest gold shirt with a picture of a leaf with a bite mark under a green overcoat with frilled ends, high-waisted, cuffed brown pants, and heeled brown shoes. The second is a green dress with a dark brown belt on her waist, a tannish-gray jacket with a star/clover pattern and two gold buttons on the left side, pumpkin orange tights and black flat shoes.

For Halloween night, she wears a black devil costume with bat wings, a tail, a hood with horns, and a patch with a "w" on the left sleeve, green striped tights, and black heeled boots with orange laces, which she continues wearing upon returning to the Demon Realm, minus the hood.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", she is shown wearing two-toned green shorts, an orange tank top, and a yellow overall tanktop over it printed with a green splatter and the text "EE". She also wears brown spiked fingerless gloves and knee pads, black, green, and yellow athletic shoes, and no left sock.

## Personality

Willow is described as a bubbly and friendly witch. At first, she was shown to be shy with Amity, as she calls her "Half-a-Witch Willow", and often made fun of Willow's poor capability of creating and manipulating abominations. Despite being childhood friends with Amity, Willow grew to resent her due to her selfishness and cruelty towards her, seemingly after gaining her magical powers before Willow. To get her anger out, Willow uses plants that grow huge and grabs any physical object in her way. If she does harm somebody, she is fast to apologize to them.

Willow likes tending to plants and gets frustrated if she gets bad grades and when other students used to make fun of her, calling her "Half-A-Witch Willow".

She is now in the plant track at her school, formerly being in the abomination track which discouraged her, but with Luz's help, she showed Principal Bump that she had the ability to be in the plant track.

When Willow understood what Amity did in her head in "Understanding Willow", she was slow to accept Amity as a friend yet, but says "that it's a start", partially forgiving her.

## Abilities

### **Skillset**

* **Grudgby proficiency:** Willow is shown to be relatively skilled at grudgby, though she only played one match after Luz challenged Boscha in order to defend Willow's honor, and later turned down an offer to join the Banshees.
* **Flyer Derby:** Willow is very enthusiastic about flyer derby, and went on to start Hexside's first team, the Emerald Entrails, along with Gus, Skara, Viney, and temporarily Hunter.

### **Unique Abilities**

* **Magic:** Willow is adept in magic. Like many witches, her connection to magic comes from a sac of magic bile that is attached to her heart.
	+ **Plant magic:** Willow is skilled at using plant-based magic, which usually manifests as green, thorny vines around her. In fits of intense emotion, like rage, she is shown to be able to use her magic without making a spell circle, indicated by her eyes glowing green when using her magic in this state. She uses her magic to help plants and can make a tiny seed sprout into a colossal vine. She can also control plants with her magic, summon them from the ground, turn them into monstrous versions of themselves, and use them to grab and restrain others. However, Willow can lose control of her powerful magic and can accidentally entangle herself and others in vines when she does so.
		- **Plant Teleportation:** Willow can use plants to teleport herself and others.
		- **Plant Revival:** Willow can revive plants that have been damaged.
	+ **Water magic**: Willow uses this type of magic to water her plants.
	+ **Abomination magic:** Prior to joining the plant track, Willow was in the abomination track and likely has limited knowledge on abomination magic. However, her skills were mediocre which led to her being labeled "Half-a-witch Willow".
* **Glyph Magic:** After draining her magic for overuse, Willow relies on glyph magic to help save the puppets as the Archive House starts to fall.
* **Plant knowledge:** Willow has vast knowledge on monstrous plants of the Boiling Isles and how to take care of them, and is capable of handling them even without her magic.
