Willow Park is a major supporting character of The Owl House, who is portrayed by Tati Gabrielle.
Background[]
She is a witch student and one of Luz's friends on The Boiling Isles.
Personality[]
She is described as a bubbly and friendly witch, but sometimes insecure and doubtful of herself. She likes plants and gets frustrated, if she gets bad grades and when other students make fun of her, calling her "Half-A-Witch Willow". As the series progresses, Willow begins to come out of her shell and display a friendlier and sometimes commanding attitude. When she gets pushed down, she will take matters into her own hands. By the events of "Wing It Like Witches", Willow has taken a more confident demeanor which begins to earn the admiration of her fellow students.
Trivia[]
- Willow was originally going to be named Paulina.
- Her name is a play on the fact that her strength is in plants.
- Her surname is a Korean surname, and derives from Bak (박) meaning "Gourd." Park is also an English word that refers to spots of nature devoted to recreation and preservation. Both meanings could be referring to her placement in the plant track.
- While not apart of Korean descent, as Korea does not exist on the Boiling Isles, Disney TVA included Willow, along with Anne Boonchuy from Amphibia, Hiro Hamada from Big Hero 6: The Series, and Gloria Sato from Big City Greens to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
- Ironically, her voice actress, Tati Gabrielle, is actually only half Korean from her mother's side. Her father is African-American. This is alluded in the series through Willow's fathers, who are shown to be the Boiling Isles' equivalents of African-American and Korean, respectively.
- In "Enchanting Grom Fright", Willow is revealed to have coccinellidaephobia, the fear of ladybugs. This could be seen as ironic as ladybugs are supremely beneficial to all plant life.
- Willow is revealed to have two gay fathers in "Understanding Willow".
- Willow is the second character in Disney animation to have two fathers, after Violet Sabrewing from DuckTales.
