Willow Yeager

Willow Yeager and her husband Coyote, are old friends of Jake Morgendorffer and Helen Morgendorffer. The two couples were part of the same commune for an unspecified amount of time in the late '60s/early '70s. When Jake and Helen left the commune to "change the system from within," Coyote and Willow remained there for awhile before carving out an existence outside of society by making hand crafted items, such as hammocks.

Coyote and Willow have a son, Ethan, and a dog, Leary.

Willow in Canon
Willow and the rest of the Yeagers are featured in the episode "That Was Then, This Is Dumb." The family arrives in a beat up yellow VW bug bringing their own supplies, many which were cooked or made by Willow. She says that Daria "has a very old soul." At first, she maintains the superiority of her simple life over Helen's materialism, but while she and Helen are making a compost pile, she tells Helen that she hates kneading bread. After both she and Helen fall into the compost, she stalks off angrily, berating Coyote complaining about missing bacon when she is covered in garbage. Later when she calms down, Helen gives her the Morgendorffers' bread maker to help her cut down on her cooking time and suggests frozen bagels as a way to further cut down on cooking time.

Willow in Fanfic
Willow and Coyote are often featured in fanfictions that focus on Helen and Jake's past. Examples include Fireworks by C.E. Forman and the All My Children series by Deref and Thea Zara.

In the AU series God Save The Esteem, Willow and Coyote (renamed Dingo) are the ones who settled and adapted to a normal life, in contrast to Jake and Helen who have remained punks.
