It's Halloween, which means it's time to pause and appreciate girls dressed up as witches or vampires. Who's your favorite witch/vampire?

I’ll just get in line.
If this wasn’t a queer site, I could at least post some unhinged rant about bias and heteronormativity for leaving out maybe the most well known lesbian-identified fictional witch who is also a vampire in an alternate universe.
But it is a queer site…so…I’m an left with the less satisfying explanation that someone probably just forgot. And that makes me sad.
0 Buffy is the vampire slayer. Willow is the witch, and Buffy’s best friend.
The vampires in the Buffyverse only get the fucked up forehead when they’re about to attack.
In one episode of Buffy, Doppelgangland Season 3, there is a vampire version of Willow from an alternate universe. (Who also, rather creepily, hits on this universe’s Willow, but it’s the season before Willow realizes she’s a lesbian. So, it’s just sort of funny.)
Willow is a good witch, and occasionally a dark witch when she gets pissed off.
2 Willow starts dabbling with witchcraft in the 2nd season. She comes out as a lesbian in the middle of the 4th season. uhmm…I’m not sure how you feel about spoilers or if you plan on watching it, so I’ll just stop there.
Willow has a hell of a character arch in the series. What you saw in the pilot is quite different from how she turns out.
0 Awesome!
And here’s one with her fabulous evil leather outfit:

1 This. Exactly this. Want evil Willow.
Willow: It’s horrible! That’s me as a vampire? I’m so evil and…skanky. And I think I’m kinda gay.
Buffy: Willow, just remember, a vampire’s personality has nothing to do with the person it was.
Angel: Well, actually… [Buffy gives him a look] That’s a good point.
Oh, the foreshadowing.
