Aelara was a witch resident of Abhainn and Willow Rosenberg's while she was in town.[1]
Biography[]
Aelara met Willow at the Jojo Diner, where she recognized the girl as a visitor and recommended an inn.[2] They met again the following day, when Aelara taught Willow about the gatiaux flower that only grew in Abhainn. At night, they celebrated with the entire town around a bonfire.[3]
In the morning, Willow went after Aelara and asked if the Abhainn's community was a cult. Aelara explained that, unlike cults, the witches didn't take power from others: Willow could feel the place's power because they were each already powerful. To demonstrate this power, Aelara guided her so Willow was able to magically grow the garden around them.[4]
Willow spent her time working with the other witches while they cooked, tended the garden, and celebrated. She also studied witchcraft with Aelara. With everyone teaching her, Willow became Abhainn's favorite student. At dinner, Aelara invited her to stay permanently, but Willow said she'd think about it.[1]
That night, Willow met a girl in the woods running away from magical wolves while attempting to escape town. Willow protected her, but Aelara announced that Willow couldn't leave.[1] Willow told the girl to run, and she magically fought Aelara. The older woman said that they witches were strong by sharing their strength and surviving together, but Willow responded that the freedom to walk away was as important as her choice to be a witch.[5]
A vision of Xander appeared to Willow and sent her birds to fight Aelara, but Willow went to help her from the attack. Willow told Aelara that she would come back whenever she was needed, but then she had to return to her friends. Aelara agreed and they hugged, then Willow took a bus back to Sunnydale.[5]
