Buffy when does tara die

Tara was a skillful but prudent witch who performed a wide range of spells to help the Scoobies in their fight against evil. Despite having the lowest kill count of all the Scoobies only one demon, Razor [39] , she was always an useful assist for research, planning, and combat.

Tara was shown to be capable of telekinesis, which allowed her to move objects using only the power of her mind. When she was in physical contact with Willow, her telekinesis would be enhanced beyond its usual strength — in fact, it was the very first magical feat that they accomplished together. Hence, whenever there was a need to move an object without touching it, and said object was beyond the telekinetic capacity of one witch, Tara and Willow would always pool their powers by concentrating on moving the same object.

Tara also displayed the rare and unusual power of reading auras, which enabled her to instinctively sense individuals for who and what they truly were, when something was wrong with someone, and even detect the use of mental powers.

For instance, during the Sunnydale Wicca group gathering, Tara sensed that Willow was the only other member who, besides herself, possessed true passion for and genuine skills in witchcraft. Another example was the instance where Buffy had her body switched with Faith.

Last but not least, Tara had a good knowledge of Latin, and was even well-versed in several rites and rituals that some other witches or watchers were not familiar with, such as the Taglarin mythic rites. Though Tara had neither Willow's prodigious talent in witchcraft, nor Amy Madison 's ruthless desire for power, she was still a distinguished Wiccan in her own right due to her extraordinary moral compass and her self-discipline where magic was concerned.

In fact, Tara was always notably careful and conscientious when it came to usage of magical powers, being ever mindful of the possible consequences that could be incurred if she used her magic for selfish or trivial purposes. Last but not least, she must also be credited for being majorly responsible for how Willow blossomed into an all-powerful witch.

Tara was the only one to notice that Faith's spirit was trapped in Buffy's body and was central in sending Willow to the "nether-world" in order to discover how they could reverse the body switch. Tara cast a spell to stop the Scooby Gang from being able to see demons so she could hide her supposed demon side. This also put the Scoobies in grave danger when Glory sent a horde of Lei-Ach demons after Buffy, but Tara reversed it in time. Tara used effective combat spells and was the only one that saw Buffy for what she was after she returned from the dead.

For example, Tara cast a spell creating an "energy ball" that struck a demon biker attempting to kidnap Anya, thus freeing her friend. Tara made her first and only demon kill when she axed a demon in the back, as he tried to strangle Willow. Buffyverse Wiki Explore.

She plays a pivotal role in the series, with a strong moral compass, and she had a positive relationship with Willow. They were one of the first recurring lesbian couples on a primetime network show in the US, and both characters continue to have a loyal following.

Tara was killed off in the episode called Villains, when she was hit by one of Warren's Adam Busch stray bullets. He had intended to kill Buffy Sarah Michelle Gellar , but the bullet missed and instead inflicted a fatal wound on Tara.

Tara's death was crucial to the series as it initiated Willow's rampage, and she eventually turned to dark magic. The series producers and Benson herself have always defended the decision, saying it was never with malice. The show's creator, Joss Whedon, continued to say it was necessary in order to carry Willow's story further as she felt the deep sense of loss. In the heartbreaking death scene, Warren attempted to shoot Buffy, but one of the shots hit Tara through the heart.
