Joss talks about deliberately going for Kennedy as the opposite of Tara, and I think she very much was in terms of arrogant nasty personality, but you're right that it seems all of Willow's lovers must worship her. It's like the writers find it impossible to imagine that she might actually have to be the one chasing someone. Oz and Tara were both all over her from the first, "No you are special. Here, take this priceless articifact of my family's"
Well she never got anywhere with Xander mind you, but that was the only exception from what I remember.
Hee, when I was responding to you, I was thinking Mary Sue. But I'm not sure that's quite accurate, I think it's partly that, and a lot of Aly being Joss's pet. And the writers finding it hard to be objective about anyone not falling for her cuteness. She even manages to wriggle out of singing in the musical, when all the other terrified actors have to just suck it up and deal. (Or, in the case of Michelle, offer to dance instead). Ally didn't really have to do any extra work for that episode, yet Joss still gushes in the commentary about how she had the harder role in having to respond to Amber's singing.

Yeah, that's the brunt of it. I seriously think Joss had some objectivity issues when it came to Willow.
