Thanks for these thoughts - she was a great (and under-valued) lady ... she could have been both powerful in her own right, and helped Willow to develop into a happier person.

She made mistakes, as we see in her spell-gone-wrong, but given a chance to discover her strengths within the group, and not just as Willows other half, she would have been amazing.

Similar faults were made with Anya, IMHO!
