Oz
A Werewolf in Love

Seth Green as Oz

Oz is the newest recurring character on the show, and as far as I'm concerned, one of the most interesting. He is the most laid back, nonchalent, quirky guy at Sunnydale. He is completely candid, he makes interesting observations about the world (hey, did you notice that monkeys are the only animal crackers with pants?) and he was the first (human) guy cool enough to notice how fantastic Willow is.

Oz

Eccentric, guitar-playing senior Oz spent a long time noticing Willow Rosenburg ("Who is that girl?") and admiring her from afar before finally meeting her during the school's career fair. Not only did he get to meet the girl of his dreams, but he got to take a bullet for her! They definitely got off on the right foot, and they're relationship, of course, continued to develop from there. Willow assumed he was expressing computer nerd solidarity with his attention, but eventually it became apparent that he liked her, a lot. Their relationship hasn't been without it's complications, what with Willow having to let go of her jealousy over Xander's relationship with Cordelia, and Oz being a Werewolf, but they are currently a happy couple
