BIOGRAPHY:

When asked, Willow would say with a laugh that she did not find her calling. It found her instead and dragged her into the trenches until she stopped struggling and accepted it.

It took time for Willow to accept her magic, the Talent that she had with plants of both the mundane and magical varieties. Time, therapy, and a lot of help from her uni friends and mentors, but it all paid off. Willow was renowned around the world for her skills with sentient and dangerous magical plants, her unique heritage and upbringing giving her Talent a certain ✨spice✨ that lent itself well to wrangling the more bloodthirsty of flora into submission. As her magic grew, so did her confidence, and soon Willow was once again her old bright, curious, goofy self. Instead of hiding her magical heritage, she displayed it with pride, and where she once was frightened by her own shadow, she now ran fearlessly after her goals. She even finally worked up the courage to go back to the Boiling Isles, returning to Swynlake with her new palisman, Clover.

(Graduation had tempered that boundless enthusiasm once again, the loss of so many of her closest friends - whether they left Swynlake to explore the world on their own or were ripped away when their hearts just couldn't hold on any longer - burying her in her own grief. She drifted listlessly between the Grove and the home Winston had graciously opened up to her for nearly a year, and it was only her renewed friendship with Amity that pulled her back out of the ground.)

Willow stayed at the Garden Grove until her talents outgrew it, and with the help of some grants and all the money she had once saved for her Great Escape Into Mundanity, Willow bought an old manor home at the edge of Atlantis Lake and turned it into the Swynlake Botanical Gardens. Wild magical plants blossomed in every corner of the gardens, taken from around the world - and even a few from the Boiling Isles once she got them to successfully acclimate - and brought to flourish and be studied in their new home. Though her own plan when she had come to Swynlake had fallen through, Willow found a talent as an event planner and opened the botanical gardens to be used as an event space for the town; hosting weddings and parties of all sorts. They even opened classes and summer camps to the citizens of Swynlake alongside the daily tours they offered, teaching the town about the magical flora that surrounded them.

(It was at one of these camps that Willow reconnected with Mim Ambrosius and her daughter Adria, a burgeoning young sorcerer with a talent for plant magic. Willow hadn't expected to be swept up by them, but she found herself falling more and more in love with the small family as the summer went on, and now she's proud to call herself a part of it.)

Willow is excitedly preparing for the Gala, happy for what the changing laws mean for the future of her town and her beloved stepdaughter. Swynlake is her home, but a call from her dads has her torn between the life she made for herself and the one she left behind in the Boiling Isles. Will her Papa's failing health put her wedding planning on hold, or will Willow be able to convince her family that Swynlake is where they all belong?
