Willow Orchid is a first-year student at Haven Academy and a member of Team WIOW. She participated in the 40th Annal Vytal Festival Tournament as well as the Battle of Beacon. Her weapon of choice is a single crimson blade which can also become a grenade launcher that uses burn dust primary.

Early Years
Willow was born in the city of Windpath within the Kingdom of Mistral. She was raised and trained by her father who was a huntsmen and together discovered her aura and semblance at the age of 14. She then began to attended Haven Academy with Widow Tabebuia, Ireland Sarga and Olive Pine and together created Team WIOW. They later went to Beacon Academy for the 40th Annual Vytal Festival Tournament.

Second Semester
A day prior to the start of the second semester, Widow and her team met Olive's old friends, Frederic Scorch and Ember Ignis and their team, Team FLME. Olive and the two boys catch up on lost times together until Fred abruptly leaves the eight of them, leaving Widow and her team all confused except for Olive. She is later seen at Beacon Dance with her team standing off in the sidelines.

Later on, Widow and her team picked a civilian evacuation and escort mission on the other side of Mountain Glenn. Before they left, they were invited by Neptune Vasilias of Team SSSN to attended their party that night. WIOW then went to the docks and wished FLME good luck on their mission and to stay safe. They then invited Team VILE to join SSSN's party, to which they agreed.

At least two days later, WIOW assist FLME and a majority of Vale in its defense from a Grimm attack and a small White Fang force.

Vytal Festival Tournament
The team watched the initial fight of the tournament, that being Team FLME vs Team VILE of Shade Academy. After witnessing their fight and FLME's victory, they con gratulate the team and begin their match against Team SSMR of Atlas.

As the match began, Ireland learned their and informed the other members of the team who sprang into action as the fight began. While Ireland would take on one member, Widow would attack their leader, Ian Stonewall. Magnus and Regen opened fire on the girl and counted to dance around her counting firing at her. Willow then charged at Regen and the two entered a heated standstill with Magnus attempting to backhand her, which he did successfully. However, Willow then used her semblance of growing spikes in her skin and attacked Magnus. While Magnus was pushed back with repeated sword swings and punches with her thorns.

Magnus was then saved by Regen who entered another duel with Willow. The two fought for some time and Regen was soon thrown back by Willow. However, this was proven to be a mistake as Regen then used his rockets to target Willow and with five rockets, knocked her out, eliminating her from the fight. Afterwards, WIOW was vowed by Fred and Ember to avenge them against Team SSMR in the doubles round. During Fred and Ember's fight, Widow and her team are seen cheering them on for victory and congratulating them afterwards.

Battle of Beacon
During the second night of the finals, the Battle of Beacon began. Willow had her team stay and assist in the defense of the school and the city of Vale. They joined Ember, May and Solomon Noir in one of the many squares in Beacon and awaited Fred's arrival. Once he did arrive, Fred ordered WIOW into the city to assist in local defenses and protect civilians.

The team decided to use the water route to Vale and met with Stonewall, Magnus and Regen at the sea docks. The seven cleared the docks from Grimm and allowed several ships to leave Beacon and into the city with WIOW on board one. Once they were at the city, the assisted local huntsmen in clearing out the Grimm. Later on in the night, the team was joined once again by Stonewall, Magnus and Regen who assisted in clearing out the Grimm and soon locked down a safe zone in the city.

Eventually, SSMR reunited and were ordered back to Atlas after the CCT fell along with Beacon. WIOW then returned to Haven Academy with the remaining Haven students.

Post-Fall of Beacon
Willow and her team has returned to Haven Academy after the Fall of Beacon and continued their studies and training to become huntresses.

Personality
Willow is described as a mix between Ireland's no nonsense demeanor and Olive's hyperactive and fun-loving style of life. She is described as mellow and normally enjoys peace and quiet, however she is also one to heavily tolerate noise and disturbances, such as Olive's constant hyperactivity. She is known to be very clam and in control of herself and her emotions. She is normally depicted as an intellectual and seems to the smartest member of WIOW. She is normally seen studying and reviewing in library and away from social events similar to Ireland. However, she is willing to come along with Widow and Olive's odd ideals and going out to a town to party or a night on the town.

She can also make jokes about people and others and can seem to be a very fun-loving individual. She can act very lax around those she is close to or a teammates friends, such as Frederic Scorch or Ember Ignis as she greeted both very informally. She also was very informal after Fred and Ember defeated Solomon and Regen in the doubles round. However, she continues her serious matter when in combat and during class time.

Physical Appearance
Willow is a medium height teenage girl with green eyes and a lightly tanned complexion. She has long pink-magenta hair with a majority of it wrapped into a ponytail. Around her neck, she wears pink scarves and pink bands under her arms as well. She wears a single red tank-top that stops around her belly button. She wears a pink, cloak like piece of cloth around her belly button which stops at her upper thigh. She also wears a magenta cloak that stops at her lower leg. She wears a pair of white colored, low heeled boots.

On her arms, she wears a series of sports tape like bandages that lead down to her hands. She has a single band of tape around her thumb which connects to the main source of tape. On her right arm, she wears a single piece of spiked white armor. The armor also bears her emblem.

Weapon
Willow's weapon of choice is a single crimson colored sword which can also become a grenade launcher thanks to the single burn dust crystal infused into the hilt of the sword. The dust is what gives the sword its crimson color and can also infuse the blade with fire, allowing Willow to burn opponents and other foes. Willow shoes great swordsmanship and can gain a hold of foes if she can catch them off guard. Her grenade launcher primary uses burn dust to scorch the battlefield.

Fighting Style
Willow's fighting style is a mixture of stable sword-play and hand-to-hand combat. She is proficient in sword fighting, easily able to keep foes at bay and push them into a corner for an easy take down. She is also extremely versatile in hand-to-hand combat, allowing her quick jabs with added damage thanks to her semblance. However, she can be overwhelmed at a close range by multiple foes and resulting in a potential take down.

Semblance
Willow's semblance allows her to grow spikes through her skin and use them as both offensive and defensive pieces of equipment. Her spikes allow her to latch onto opponents swords and control them or she can rip them off to use as throwing knives. It is through her semblance that she is so adept in hand-to-hand combat as it gives her an extra layer of protection. However, this does not make her invincible, as she can still be overwhelmed during a fight.
