Tara's Relationship History

NOTE: This relationship history includes only relationships that occurred since Tara's appearance on the television series, because that is the only information we have. This doesn't mean, however, that Tara had no prior relationships.

Willow: Willow and Tara met at a lame, pretentious Wicca meeting at UC Sunnydale. They quickly realized that they were both more serious about this Wicca thing than the "Blessed-Wanna-Be's" in the Wicca club. As they became closer and closer friends, Tara and Willow also became more and more aware of a growing attraction between them (though it had seemed present from the very first), and they eventually became a couple. Tara was very shy at first, with a pronounced stammer in her speech, but she blossomed through her relationship with Willow and the Scoobies. Willow and Tara had their share of problems -- most noticeably, Tara's objection to Willow's abuse of magic in Season 6 -- but on the whole they were happy together and very deeply in love. Unfortunately, Tara was murdered at the end of Season 6, sending Willow off the deep end in a major way. It's still unclear what the emotional fall-out from all this will be in Season 7.
