   quirks in their personalities, and truly understood each other as no one   
   else could. The episode "Checkpoint" showed them in their fully loved up and   
   giddy state, as they were questioned by the Watcher's Council as to what   
   their relationship with Buffy was like.   
      
   Believing that they were being interrogated about the nature of their   
   relationship, Willow responded with this adorably funny line about her and   
   Tara. Her defiance that someone may be against their relationship made for a   
   flustered, yet undeniably sweet admittance of Willow and Tara's love for   
   each other, which was only made more comical when they realized their   
   relationship was not being questioned at all.   
      
      
   When She Made A Choice   
      
   "It's A Good Fight, Buffy, And I Want In."   
      
   Willow and Buffy were the best of friends, and by season 3 of the show,   
   Willow made the decision to attend a college that would keep her in   
   Sunnydale, and therefore with Buffy. Despite Buffy's protests that Willow   
   should go to a college more befitting of her intelligence, Willow explained   
   her decision with this moving quote.   
      
   Willow realized that her purpose in the world was to be by Buffy's side as   
   they fought against evil, reflected in these meaningful words. It was a   
   sweet sentiment to her friend but also showed that Willow was ready to leave   
   behind her comfort of school and embrace her place within the Scooby gang as   
   a lifelong commitment.   
      
      
   When She Came Back To Herself   
      
   "I Wanna Be Willow."   
      
   After the tumultuous events that led to Willow's villainous spiral, she went   
   with Giles back to England to spend some time reconnecting with magic in a   
   purer way, and to also find herself again in all of the tragedy. Willow said   
   this line in response to Giles's questioning of what she hopes for in her   
   life, and it was such a simple but poignant statement.   
      
   Losing Tara unraveled Willow's entire life, and she lost herself to the dark   
   magic. Previous to that, she had also been dabbling in dangerous spells,   
   thinking that that was her destiny in life and her contributory effort in   
   the gang. Yet, time gave her perspective, and this line showed Giles and   
   audiences alike that Willow was finally back, and she wasn't going anywhere   
   this time, as being just herself was finally enough.
