Current group affiliation: None. Past group affiliations: Former ally of the Scooby Gang, member of Dingo's Ate My Baby and the Sunnydale High Marching Jazz Band. Major enemies: Formerly Mayor Richard Wilkins III and the Initiative. First appearance: Inca Mummy Girl Origin: Phases 2.15 Description: Daniel a 5'4'' tall, skinny and adorable 21 year old man with green eyes. His hair is naturally red, but he often dyes it. In werewolf form he is larger, has wolf-like features and is covered in brown fur. Explanation of the conversion: It should be noted that Daniel was written up to be a Follower for Willow Rosenberg, not a player character. History: In his senior year at Sunnydale High School Oz came to notice Willow Rosenberg, a junior who he thought was cute (Inca Mummy Girl 2.04). They were introduced to each other during the school job fair (What's My Line Part 1 2.09). Oz was shot in the arm by a stray bullet when attempting to save Willow from the same fate when an assassin for the Order of Taraki was attempting to kill Buffy Summers at the school job fair (What's My Line Part 2 2.10). Oz and Willow attended Buffy's 17th birthday party at the Bronze together. Although Willow liked Oz, she still held out for Xander Harris, until she learned Xander had started dating Cordelia Chase (Surprise 2.13). When playing with is cousin Jordy, Oz was bitten by him, but what he didn't know is that Jordy was a werewolf (recounted in Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Oz #1). Although their newborn romance was moving too slowly for Willow, they endured learning Oz had been bitten by and become a werewolf. Oz was hunted by a werewolf hunted called Cain, but was captured and protected by Buffy Summers. Once he figured out what was going on and had a long talk with the local expert on the supernatural, Rupert Giles, he agreed to have himself locked for the three nights a month he was a werewolf (Phases 2.15). When Willow attempted to recast the curse that would give Angel a human soul, Oz assisted her (Becoming Part 2 2.22) When Xander volunteered to watch over the caged Oz in on a werewolf night, Xander fell asleep, and a student died, although it was later learned it was not Oz but a student named Pete who was the killer. Pete was using drugs to turn himself into a Mr. Hyde monster, and killed anyone who got close to his girlfriend Debbie. When Pete saw Debbie sharing school notes with Oz Pete became enraged and attacked Oz as the sun was setting. Oz became his werewolf self and the two fought. Pete ran off when the fight was joined by Buffy, and was eventually killed by Angel (Beauty And The Beasts 3.04). Trouble started brewing when Xander helped Willow pick out a dress for the Homecoming dance, and they started a relationship behind the backs of Cordelia and Oz (Homecoming 3.05). Willow and Xander's affair blew up in their faces when Oz and Cordelia walked in on them making out (Lovers Walk 3.08). Willow and Oz found their way back together (Amends 3.10). When attempting to find a way to stop the ascension of the mayor into true demonhood, Willow and Oz finally consummated their love for each other in her bedroom (Graduation Day Part 1 3.21). Oz then started attending U.C. Sunnydale with Buffy Summers and Willow (The Freshman 4.01). Willow was attacked by an old schoolmate named Harmony Kendall, who had become a vampire, but was saved by Oz. When Buffy got a hold of the Gem of Amara from the vampire Spike, a powerful ring that could make any vampire unkillable as long as he wore it, Oz volunteered to transport it to Angel in Los Angeles (The Harsh Light Of Day 4.03). In Los Angeles Oz met up with his old Sunnydale schoolmate Cordelia Chase, met her co-worker Allen Francis Doyle, and got the ring to Angel, who hid it. Angel was then kidnapped by Spike who wanted the ring in exchange for Angel. Oz was involved with the rescue of Angel (In The Dark 1.03). [Gachnar] Oz and Willow attended a Halloween party that was interrupted by the fear demon Gachnar, but the demon was defeated (Fear, Itself 4.04). [Veruca & Oz] All went pretty well between Oz and Willow until Oz met a lady werewolf named Veruca and strayed. When Veruca tried to kill Willow, Oz killed Veruca instead. Although he was sorry for his actions, he left Willow and the rest of humanity in order to figure out how his werewolf side was effecting him (Wild At Heart 4.06). Oz eventually made his way to Hong Kong, where he spent the nights of the full moon with a family of demons who owed Oz's friend Rupert Giles a favor. He also met the demon girl named Jinan there. After nearly escaping on the third night of being a werewolf, he was asked to leave. He then made contact with a demon named Wuxi who he heard could transport him to Tibet, but found Wuxi being attacked by a demon and vampire. Oz was able to stake the vampire and the demon was killed by Jinan, who had followed him wanting to accompany him to Tibet. Wuxi was then able to use magic to transport the pair to Lhasa, Tibet. Once there they spent the night camping and discovered that a small group of herdsmen were killed overnight. Oz made his way to meet the monk Shantou, but when they found his temple most of the monks there were also dead, although Shantou was alive (Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Oz #1). When Oz finally returned to Sunnydale believing he could control his changes he was shocked to discover Willow had started dating a girl named Tara Maclay. This so enraged him that he lost control again and nearly killed Tara, but was captured by the Initiative instead, who planned to do experiments on him. Riley Finn and his friends helped Oz escape and he decided he should leave town for everyone's safety (New Moon Rising 4.19). Powers: Unlike most werewolves, who change into animal form on the nights around the full moon, Daniel has some level of control over his form. He can bring on the change on any of the days around the full moon, but never does so on purpose. He prefers to stay human, and only changes if he is angered. Conversion by Mathew R.
