The leader and Guardian of Quintessence.

to:

The leader and Guardian of Quintessence. She holds the Heart of Kandrakar, which gives the other girls the power to transform into their guardian forms.



* BookDumb: Will is a gifted leader and strategist, but academically she flounders hard. It's a frequent source of drama between her and her mother. Especially math. A "C" grade is pretty good for her, according to Hay Lin.

Added DiffLines:

* BookDumb: Especially math. A "C" grade is pretty good for her, according to Hay Lin.

to:

* AnimateInanimateObject: Just like in the comics, the Power of Quintessence can create these - Will's Season 2 ability to converse with electrical appliances being the most common example.
* AsleepInClass: Happens to [[TheLeader Will]] in one episode. It's an [[PlayedForDrama unusually dangerous]] instance of the trope as it makes her an easy target for the resident DreamWeaver.
* BookDumb: Will is a gifted leader and strategist, but academically she flounders hard. It's a frequent source of drama between her and her mother. Especially math. A "C" grade is pretty good for her, according to Hay Lin.



* ColdBloodedTorture: Phobos presumably does this to Will in "It Resumes"; we don't see all of it (just the part where she's trapped in plant vines), but when Will encounters Phobos face-to-face several episodes later she's visibly terrified of him.



* {{Doppelmerger}}: In "H is for Hunted", Will creates an Astral Drop of herself to do her chores for her, but it is turned into an Altermere -- an Astral Drop with sentience -- by Nerissa. When the Altermere takes a blast from Nerissa meant for Will, she re-absorbs her back into her body so her memories and experiences can live on. Unfortunately, these memories include the Altermere witnessing Will's mother kissing her teacher Professor Collins.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Will cradles [[spoiler:her Altermere]] in her arms as the latter is dying from the wounds she sustained after being attacked by Nerissa.
* EatTheEvidence: Will mentions this as a possible way she could hide a bad grade from her mother.



* EmbarrassingNickname: Her mother calls her, "Pink Perky Poopy Pumpkin".

to:

* EmbarrassingNickname: Her mother calls her, "Pink Perky Poopy Pumpkin". Irma makes fun of her for it and Will makes her swear to never call her that again.
* FlyingFirepower: In the second season, [[spoiler:Will acquires her elemental power of Quintessence, which manifests in devastating lightning bolts]].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Subverted in "Q is for Quarry". Will comes ''this close'' to becoming like Nerissa when [[ImproperlyParanoid her paranoia]] over yet another [[LockedOutOfTheLoop sudden change in her family life on Earth]] (not to mention [[TraumaCongaLine the events of the preceding episodes]]) coincides with [[{{pride}} Kadma]] encouraging her to [[spoiler:absorb the Heart of Meridian and forcibly become Elyon's "[[RegentForLife regent]]"]]. Her friends {{lampshade}} it throughout the episode that it was that sort of thinking that turned Nerissa into a FallenHero and try to pull her back, which only strengthens her resolve to prove all of them wrong, [[spoiler:[[HeroicWillpower until she snaps out of it at the last possible moment]].]]


Added DiffLines:

* HighVoltageDeath: In "H is for Hunted", Nerissa tries to take advantage of Will's distraction to electrocute her. However, [[spoiler:Will's Altermere]] jumps in the path of the blast and is killed instead.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Will tells her mom that she really does want her mom to be happy, even if it's with her History teacher.
* IdeaBulb: Played with. Will has an epiphany in "V is for Victory", at which point [[{{Technopath}} her powers]] spontaneously manifest and cause nearby lightbulbs to flicker and flash. Her friends quickly conclude that it's a sign that she has just come up with a "bright" idea for the problem at hand.
* JustAKid: {{Lampshaded}} in the first season finale, with a generous helping of {{irony}}.
-->'''[[spoiler:Matt]]:''' How can I help?\\
'''Will:''' What are you talking about? What are you doing here? You're just a kid!\\
'''[[spoiler:Matt]]:''' So are you! Yesterday you said Earth was in danger.


Added DiffLines:

* NewSuperPower: In episode 20, the [[TransformationTrinket Heart of Kandrakar]] (and by extension Will) gains the ability to [[spoiler:[[ThinkingUpPortals open portals]], not just close them]].


Added DiffLines:

* OpenAndShut: Will starts out with closing the portals between the [[AnotherDimension worlds]] as her main responsibility as wielder of the [[TransformationTrinket Heart of Kandrakar]], in addition to [[TransformationSequence transforming the Guardians]]. [[spoiler:The Heart later [[NewSuperpower gains the ability]] to [[ThinkingUpPortals open portals]] as well, not just close them, by absorbing the Seal of Phobos.]]


Added DiffLines:

* SnowMeansLove: Will and Matt had their first kiss under a tree in a light snowfall.


Added DiffLines:

* VisitByDivorcedDad: Will's father in Season 2.
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Will makes this mistake [[ItMakesSenseInContext while flying her history teacher to his home with the other girls]].

* BadassNormal: She is the only Guardian without ElementalPowers in season 1. It's not until the third episode of season 2 that her powers over Quintessence start to manifest now that the Heart and the Aurameres no longer have to maintain the Veil. Averted in the comic, where she has those powers from the start.

* AdaptationalCurves: In the comics, Irma was slightly chubby. In the animated series, she's as skinny as her friends.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Creator/GregWeisman claims that the animated version of the character is a lesbian, and she noticeably is the only Guardian who isn't dating someone by the end of the series. The comic counterpart has a boyfriend, however, and even in the show Irma expresses clear interest in Andrew Hornby, which would make her either bisexual or closeted.
