**Willow Ufgood** is the main protagonist and titular character of the fantasy 1988 film, *Willow*, portrayed by Warwick Davis.

## Background

Willow is an aspiring sorcerer and farmer at the same time. He lives on the Ufgood Ranch in the Nelwyn Valley in a village with his wife, Kiaya and his children, Ranon and Mims.

### Personality

Ever since he was a child, Willow was said to have a strong affinity with magic, having been born with it. However, he has limited powers and abilities and at the beginning of the film, only knew how to do stage magic. He is also fairly clever and intelligent, managing to be a farmer and a sorcerer at the same time. He was able to trick Bavmorda that he sent Elora to a place where no evil can touch her.

During his journey, Willow becomes a protective and fatherly figure for young Elora, knowing how to care for her. He is also a fatherly and caring figure because he is loved by both of his children and Elora. Willow has a healthy relationship with his wife, Kiaya, as he quickly rushed  back home when the Nockmaar dogs attacked and her being one of the reasons why he wanted to return home. He is often ridiculed by those who consider Willow lower than them, such as the perfect Burglekutt or humans from a human village. However, Willow appears to be liked by the other members of his village, as he was best friends with Meegosh and friends with some of the other Nelwyns. Over the course of his journey, Willow begrudgingly becomes allies with Madmartigan, a former Knight who fell from grace. Initially, they get on each other's nerves but Madmartigan and Willow become close friends and companions. He also has the wisdom of the powerful sorceeess, Fin Raziel, who shared with Willow kindness and friendship and taught him magic. He also had an initially rocky relationship with Sorsha, who used to look down on him and his kind but eventually, treated Willow like an equal after her redemption. Elora Danan also adored Willow and proclaimed him to be her protector and godfather.

Willow is also fairly brave in battle, but the one thing he fears are trolls. However, he gets over this fear when he fights Trolls in TirAsleen save protected Enjoys Danan throughout his quest.

At the end of the film, Willow had already mastered Abilities and when he returned home, Willow was given a heroes welcome and happily reunited with his family and friends.
