Character history

Buffy was born to Hank and Joyce Summers on January 19, 1981, in Los Angeles, California.^[3] In the Season Two episode Killed by Death, it is revealed that, at the age of eight, Buffy was close friends with her cousin Celia, and enjoyed playing superhero with her; Buffy pretended to be Power Girl, a prophetic choice of alter ego. She looked on helplessly as Celia was murdered by a demon that killed sick children and was only visible to those who were ill, an experience which instilled a fear of hospitals in Buffy. Buffy came to idolize Olympic ice skater Dorothy Hamill as she learned the sport. Buffy was an annual spectator with her father at ice shows.

The details of how Buffy learned she was the Slayer were first presented in the 1992 movie. However, as this movie is not considered canon in the Buffyverse, Christopher Golden adapted Joss Whedon's original script into a canonical comic book entitled The Origin. In the comic, a fifteen-year-old Buffy is having violent dreams about women from different periods of history slaying monsters. One day, she is approached by Merrick Jamison-Smythe, a mysterious man who reveals her destiny as the Chosen One and becomes her first Watcher (this scene can also be seen in the Season Two episode "Becoming, Part One"). With little training, and help from her friend Oliver Pike, Buffy defeats her first major enemy, a vampire leader named Lothos, but not before the death of Merrick. In a battle with Lothos' vampiric lackeys, Buffy sets fire to the high school gym and is subsequently expelled.

In the Season Six episode "Normal Again", it is revealed that, shortly after her expulsion, Buffy confided in her parents about what really had happened and her destiny as the Slayer. Worried that she was losing her mind, Buffy's parents sent her to a mental institution. While there, Buffy realized that attempts to persuade others of the existence of demonic forces would be futile. She kept quiet and was released after a couple of weeks. Buffy and her parents never spoke of it again.

Sunnydale High

In Season One of the series, Buffy begins to accept the responsibilities and dangers of her calling as Slayer. Hoping to be a regular student, Buffy enrolls in the local high school and meets her future best friends, Xander Harris (full name, Alexander Harris) and Willow Rosenberg, as well as her new Watcher, Rupert Giles, together forming the "core four" of the Scooby Gang. She also meets Cordelia Chase, a condescending, arrogant cheerleader, and Angel, a vampire with a soul ("Welcome to the Hellmouth"). Buffy is quickly forced back into the role of Slayer as she and her new friends battle vampires, monsters, and demons. She grows closer to Giles, eventually coming to view him as a father figure. The first season centers on Buffy's battle with a thousand-year-old vampire leader known as The Master, and the Order of Aurelius. On learning that the infallible Pergamum Codex prophesies her death at the hands of the Master, Buffy contemplates leaving town, but accepts her fate after Willow discovers bodies of her friends slaughtered inside the school. She is overpowered and left to drown in a pool of water in the Master's dwellings, but Xander resuscitates her and she manages to defeat the Master ("Prophecy Girl").

Buffy and Angel

In the show's second season, Buffy continues to come to terms with her destiny as the Slayer with the help of her friends. Buffy finds forbidden love with Angel and clashes with Spike and Drusilla, the new vampires in town ("School Hard"). In the episode "Surprise", Buffy loses her virginity to Angel, unknowingly lifting the Kalderash curse placed on him a century earlier. In a dark twist, he loses his soul and reverts to the evil Angelus. He becomes obsessed with destroying Buffy's life, his pathological abuse taking heavy toll on Buffy and her friends ("Passion"). As Angelus plans to destroy the world, Buffy is forced to reveal her identity as the Slayer to her mother, who demands that Buffy stay home and discuss matters with her, telling her that if she leaves now, not to come back. As Buffy fights with Angelus, trying to prevent him from opening a vortex to a hell dimension, Willow works a spell to re-ensoul Angel. The spell is successful, but it is too late, and Buffy reluctantly stabs Angel with a sword, sending him to a hell dimension. Traumatized by these events, Buffy leaves Sunnydale.

In Season Three, Buffy must reconnect to her calling, her friends, and her family after her abrupt departure at the end of Season Two. Returning to Sunnydale after several months in Los Angeles, she begins to repair relationships with those closest to her as she tries to come to terms with Angel's death and her role in it. However, Angel returns mysteriously and Buffy is still drawn to him. Meanwhile, she must also try to help rebellious new Slayer Faith, who becomes increasingly destructive and disloyal as she indulges her dark side ("Bad Girls"). The writers stated that they created Faith as a way of exploring Buffy's dark side without ruining her character; Faith shows what Buffy could have been without friends or family.^[4] Alienated from "the Scoobies", Faith finds a friend in the affable yet sinister Mayor of Sunnydale, who is preparing to become a pure-blood demon on Sunnydale High's Graduation Day. When Buffy learns that Angel, who is on the verge of death after being poisoned by Faith, must drink the blood of a Slayer in order to survive, Buffy attempts to sacrifice Faith to save him. Their battle leaves Faith in a coma, and Buffy ultimately saves Angel with her own blood. In the episode "Graduation Day, Part Two, Buffy leads her classmates in a climactic battle against the transformed Mayor and his minions, culminating in an explosion that destroys the Mayor as well as Sunnydale High. After the smoke clears, Angel leaves for Los Angeles so that Buffy can try to have a more normal life without him.

College

In Season Four, Buffy must balance her Slayer duties with her new life as a college student at UC Sunnydale. Her difficulty adjusting to college life is further complicated by mystical threats (including, among other things, a demonic roommate, campus werewolves, enchanted beer), the return of Spike (now unable to harm humans), and a disastrous one-night stand with Parker Abrams, a campus player. Buffy also experiences some disconnection from her friends, who all seem to be moving in different directions. She attracts the sincere attention of Riley Finn, who is (as she soon discovers) a member of the Initiative, a U.S. government task force created to research mystical and demonic creatures, led by Buffy's psychology professor, Maggie Walsh. Buffy briefly joins forces with Riley's team. However, Riley and Buffy become disillusioned with the Initiative after Professor Walsh betrays Buffy, and they discover that she is creating a race of super-warriors from the fruits of the Initiative's demon research, including the cyber-demonoid Adam. Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles literally unite to defeat Adam in the penultimate episode of season four "Primeval", by invoking the power of the First Slayer. {| class=wikitable |- ! header 1 ! header 2 ! header 3 |- | row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | row 1, cell 3 |- | row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 | row 2, cell 3 |} Living Conditions is the second episode of season 4 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...

Buffy and Dawn

In Season Five, Buffy faces her greatest dangers yet, while finally fully embracing her destiny. A younger sister, Dawn, mysteriously appears in Buffy's household, her existence having been seamlessly integrated into the memories of Buffy, her friends, and her mother. Buffy discovers that Dawn is not her sister and soon learns that a group of monks "created" a human body in order to hide " The Key," cosmic energy that can open interdimensional portals, from a mentally unstable and dangerous hell-god known as Glory. In the meantime, Spike realizes that he has fallen in love with Buffy, and he becomes a more regular and reliable presence in her Slayer life, assisting in the fight against demons. Buffy suffers much emotional turmoil throughout this season, such as the deterioration of her relationship with Riley and her mother's unexpected death from a brain aneurysm ("The Body"). While on a vision quest, the spirit of the original Slayer tells her that "death is her gift", a message she has difficulty understanding. In the season finale "The Gift", Buffy finally realises what the meaning of the message means and sacrifices her own life in order to save Dawn's. She dives into an interdimensional portal, closing it and saving the world. She is buried on the outskirts of Sunnydale with the epitaph, "She saved the world. A lot."

Resurrection

In Season Six, Buffy must deal with depression and loss. She is resurrected by her friends who believe that she may have been in hell due to the mystical circumstances of her death. Buffy's transition back to her life is difficult; she experiences the pain of having been ripped from heaven, as well as the added responsibilities of raising Dawn and paying bills. Buffy is also forced to deal with the villainous Trio, whose comically nerdy crimes grow darker as the season progresses. Taking a mundane and degrading job slinging burgers at the Doublemeat Palace, she falls into a deep depression and begins a violent sexual relationship with Spike which leaves neither of them satisfied. Buffy later admits to Spike that she is just using him, and breaks things off. Spike later corners her in her bathroom and tries to rape her; Buffy fights him off, and Spike, horrified by his actions, leaves Sunnydale in search of his soul ("Seeing Red"). When Warren Mears kills Willow's girlfriend Tara Maclay, Willow becomes psychotic with dark magics, exacting revenge against Warren and planning to destroy the world. After Xander comes through for Willow in the end, Buffy promises to change her self-destructive behavior in order to be there for her sister ("Grave").

In the seventh season, Buffy develops a new perspective on her destiny, power, and womanhood, when she is confronted with the threat of the First Evil. The Bringers, agents of the First, are tracking down and killing potential Slayers all over the world in an attempt to wipe out the Slayer line. Buffy's home quickly becomes filled with teenage Potentials, who come to Sunnydale for protection. Buffy is the natural leader for the girls, who initially look up to her with respect. She works to train the Potentials into an army to stand against the First; however, her methods, tactics, and decisions soon begin to alienate the terrified girls. The Potentials continue to lose faith in Buffy's leadership as the dangers around them increase, leading to a mutiny; the Scooby Gang all choose a reformed Faith as their new leader, and Dawn asks Buffy to leave the house ("Empty Places"). Only Spike remains loyal to Buffy, and Buffy spends two nights of emotional closeness with him before the final battle against the armies of the First. Buffy eventually wins back the Scoobies' trust and informs them of her plan to share her power with every Potential in the world. In the show's final episode "Chosen", a huge battle is waged between an army of Slayers and the Turok-Han vampires; Spike sacrifices himself to close the Hellmouth, and the Scoobies escape as Sunnydale crumbles into a huge crater.

Powers and abilities

Buffy is a Slayer and has the powers inherent in the Slayer line, including superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, accelerated healing and some ability to sense the presence of demons. She also experiences 'Slayer dreams', a form of precognition that may warn her of impending danger or suggest solutions to problems. For example, her dreams warned her of both her death by the hands of the Master and Angel's death; soon after, Angel lost his soul and reverted to Angelus, holding true to her vision. On another occasion, Buffy speaks to a comatose Faith through a dream, learning how to defeat the Mayor. Precognition (from the Latin præ-, “prior to,” + cognitio, “a getting to know”) denotes a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person is able to perceive information about places or events before they happen through paranormal means. ...

In addition, Buffy exhibits a strong ability to lead others in battle campaigns.

In Season Eight, additional powers are revealed. Xander comments that Buffy has some degree of mystical protection over her now, at least while she sleeps. To that end, her protection means even daggers split apart so as not to pierce her skin.^[5] Buffy's connection to Willow has also strengthened to the point that, even when unconscious, Willow's consciousness can (at will) channel an amount of her power through Buffy^[6] in a similar way to "Primeval". It is also mentioned that, like all Slayers, within Buffy's "dreamspace" there is a collective of inherited slayer memories and prophecies.^[7] Primeval is the 21st episode of season 4 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...

Temporary abilities

• In the episode "Earshot", Buffy gets an aspect of a demon that she killed, and gains the ability to hear the thoughts of others (although not vampires, which leave no reflection in the mind). She becomes unable to control all of the thoughts in her head, so Angel kills a second demon of this type (which had gotten away from Buffy) and feeds her a potion containing the demon's heart, stopping the ability altogether.
• In the episode "Primeval", Buffy was the focus of a complex spell that briefly gave her the abilities of Xander, Willow, and Giles; the spell also drew on the pure source of the Slayer's power. She became faster, stronger and had magical abilities. For example she stopped Adam's bullets in the air and turned a missile into a dove. She was able to punch through Adam's armored hide and rip out his radioactive uranium power core without ill effects. Immediately after Buffy defeated the nearly invincible Adam, the spell faded.

Characterization

Origins

The character of Buffy Summers was initially created as a way of subverting the cliché of the typical horror movie girl who gets killed by the monster. Ironically, Sarah Michelle Gellar herself has played such characters in horror movies I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2, before parodying the typical damsel-in-distress as Daphne Blake in Scooby-Doo. Inspired by his own mother's strength, Joss Whedon stated that "Rhonda the Immortal Waitress" was the first incarnation of Buffy in his head; a seemingly insignificant female who in fact turns out to be extraordinary.

Adapting the concept of the movie into a television series, Whedon decided to reinvent the character of Buffy slightly. The shallow cheerleader of the original film had grown more mature and open-minded, identifying with social outcasts such as Willow and Xander, and instead, the character of Cordelia was created to embody what Buffy once was.^[9] Whedon has admitted that Buffy's personality was largely based on that of Kitty Pryde, a character from the superhero comic X-Men, whose leader Scott Summers shares Buffy's surname.^[10][11] Whedon would later write both characters in his run on Astonishing X-Men. Describing the tone of the show, as shown by the opening credits, Whedon said, "Here's a girl who has no patience for a horror movie. Who is not going to be the victim, is not going to be in the scary organ horror movie. She's gonna bring her own sort of youth and rockin' attitude to it."^[12] Katherine Kitty Pryde, also commonly known by the codename Shadowcat, is a Marvel Comics mutant superhero and a member of the X-Men. ...

Personality

Please help improve this article or section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page or at requests for expansion. (June 2007)

Buffy's personality initially was considered to be that of the stereotypical blonde valley girl and to this day she may even be referenced as such but within the reality of the show there's a great deal of complexity to her character that has been expanded on. Where as in the beginning she had several soundclip moments such as "When the apocalypse comes, beep me", Buffy's been shown to have a great understanding of people and even expresses interest in psychology in season 4 when she goes to UC Sunnydale. She was introduced as having been a relatively popular girl and a cheerleader in her old school but throughout the course of the series she's struggles much more with being a social outcast, having to accept the role as a guarded and mysterious type of person to protect the people around her. With this isolation she develops a more sensitive side to her personality that distinguishes her from other slayers in the past who were encouraged to not be swayed by their personal feelings as part of their slayer heritage and it's survival. Though she's normally quite aware socially, Buffy has proven to have a few lapses in judgement that cost her and others as well, her destructive relationship with Spike for example was attributed to her own feelings of vulnerability and unworthiness after the death of her mother as well as her abrupt descent from heaven. When her intelligence or abilities have been put into question like when she was under investigation by the Watchers Council (season 5's "Checkpoint") Buffy doesn't appear to respond well to authority and is mostly unable to complete any of the tasks given. She would almost appear as the "dumb blonde" type but in her confrontation with the council, when things are on her terms, Buffy appears to have a relatively advanced sense of awareness that isn't accessed through many traditional methods, the strength in her personality sometimes makes it hard for her to relinquish control.

Appearance

During the series' first season, Buffy's wardrobe predominantly revealed her legs in short skirts.

Early in the television series, make-up supervisor Todd McIntosh was instructed to make Buffy "a soft and sort of earthy character." He gave Gellar a soft, muted green make-up and kept her look very natural. However, it was later decided that this was inappropriate for the character, and that Buffy needed to look more like a valley girl. McIntosh switched her make-up around, giving her frosted eyeshadow and lip colours, bright turquoise and aqua marines, bubblegum coloured nails, and bleach-blonde hair, causing the character to "blossom."^[13] In attempts to preserve the seriousness of her character, Buffy's clothing became increasingly less frilly and started to give off the appearance of a tougher, feminine, mature character. Since the very beginning of the series she shows a fondness for leather coats, an aspect of her character played up in the episode "Prophecy Girl" where she wears a prom dress with a leather coat while wielding a crossbow, this idea of femininity mixed with militaristic undertones is frequently used in later seasons. By season 3 Buffy is rarely seen wearing short skirts (partially at Sarah Michelle Gellar's request) and is instead seen wearing either longer skirts or pants while still maintaining a youthful sexiness that usually comes out in her choice of tops and the fit of her jeans. Buffy also was shown to have abandoned the bleach blonde look for sometime during seasons 5 and 6 where she was shown to have darker highlights mixed in with a honey blonde color, in season 6 she even cuts her hair relatively short in a fit of anxiety and is shown to have almost a reddish tint to her hair color. Though in both seasons she eventually is seen as having gone blonde again, possibly just to reinforce her recognizable and iconic blonde image.

Romantic interests

Buffy's romantic relationships are the focus of many stories over the course of the series. As opposed to her counterpart Faith, Buffy seeks committed relationships over casual dates, but is often drawn to dangerous lovers. While discussing a painful reunion with Angel, Buffy claims, "Isn't that where the fire comes from? Can a nice, safe relationship be that intense? I know it's nuts, but part of me believes that real love and passion have to go hand in hand with pain and fighting. [A vampire suddenly jumps out of the bushes. Buffy barely reacts, casually stakes the vampire, and continues on her way] I wonder where I get that from."^[14] Sympathising with her friend's inability to have a normal relationship, Willow states, "Poor Buffy. Your life resists all things average." Buffy's attitude to romance is dealt with in the Season Five episode "I Was Made to Love You", by the end of which she decides not to be dependent on men.^[15] I Was Made to Love You is the 15th episode of season 5 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...

Buffy's main romantic interest in the original Buffy movie is sarcastic slacker Oliver Pike, meeting him shortly before discovering she was the current Slayer. Although they initially hate one another, as Buffy's superficial valley girl perspective is at odds with Pike's ethic, the two grow closer after losing friends to Lothos and his minions, and Pike eventually aids Buffy in her defeat of the vampire king. Buffy's relationship with Pike pre-Sunnydale is considered canon, as he appears as a main character in the "The Origin". Although never mentioned in the television series, he reappears in several non-canon comic books, in which he breaks up with Buffy because he believes that their relationship puts both of them in danger. The following are minor fictional characters in the U.S. television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Throughout the first three seasons of the television series, Buffy makes several attempts at having "normal" relationships with high school boys such Owen Thurman and Scott Hope, with little success. Instead, she finds herself increasingly drawn to the mysterious Angel, and remains attracted to him following the revelation that he is in fact a vampire.^[16] The unlikely pairing of a vampire and a Slayer is often commented on in the series, with Giles once referring to their relationship as "rather poetic... in a maudlin sort of way."^[17] Buffy's eventual loss of her virginity to Angel which turns him into a heartless monster is a metaphor for the real-life situation of a boyfriend who doesn't call his girlfriend the next day.^[18] In the third season, Buffy and Angel are forced to come to terms with the reality of their limitations as a couple. The writers explain that there was only so far they could go with that epic love story, and that being unable to consummate a relationship with someone you love is a situation that is very real for most teenagers.^[19] Angel realises he is preventing Buffy from leading a normal life, and leaves town, but often returns to support her in times of need. In the Buffy: the Vampire Slayer universe, a public high school named Sunnydale High is located in the town of Sunnydale, California. ... Scott Hope was a fictional character on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...

Following Angel's departure, Buffy tries to move on by having an impulsive a one-night stand with college student Parker Abrams.^[20] She is devastated when Parker later ignores her, having only wanted to have "a good time." After recovering from that, she is then pursued by Riley Finn, a soldier in the Initiative. Although Riley sacrifices his career and friends to be with Buffy, he is continually disappointed by her unwillingness to be truly open and vulnerable with him, admitting to a surprised Xander, "But she doesn't love me."^[21] Riley also feels that he isn't strong or aggressive enough to satisfy Buffy the way that dangerous vampires did, a fact that Spike picks up on, claiming, "The girl needs some monster in her man, and that's not in your nature."^[22] Despite his efforts to understand Buffy's dark desires, Riley slowly drifts away and leaves Sunnydale to rejoin the military. Writer Jane Espenson admits that Buffy's relationship with Riley never really had the fire that her one with Angel did, but states that "it wasn't really meant to."^[23] Marc Blucas describes his character's one-sided relationship with Buffy as being something most people could identify with.^[23] The following are minor fictional characters in the U.S. television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...

In season six, Buffy deals with her traumatic resurrection by embarking on a highly destructive sexual relationship with Spike. Exploiting Spike's genuine feelings of love toward in return for physical solace, she admits "I'm using you. I can't love you. I'm just being weak, and selfish... and it's killing me."^[24] Their relationship ends on a violent note when Spike attempts to rape a weakened Buffy, but she gradually begins to trust him again in season seven, after he regains his soul to make himself worthy of her. By the end of the show, she reaches an emotional closeness with Spike, although Joss Whedon deliberately leaves it ambiguous as to whether or not they resume their sexual relationship.^[25] As Spike prepares to sacrifice himself to save the world, Buffy finally tells him she loves him, to which he replies "No, you don't. But thanks for saying it."^[26]

In "Chosen", Joss Whedon gives fans hope that Buffy and Angel may still end up together. While she admits to having feelings for Spike, Buffy claims that she is still growing as a person, and has not yet decided what she wants from a relationship.^[26] Joss Whedon explains that this was his way of satisfying fans of both the Buffy/Angel and the Buffy/Spike relationships, without making her seem like "the Slut Queen of Slutdonia."^[25] Similarly, in the Angel episode "The Girl in Question", in which Angel and a resurrected Spike travel to Rome to find Buffy, Andrew explains to the two vampires that, "Buffy loves both of you, but she's gotta live her life." In this episode, Buffy is supposedly dating the Immortal, who Angel describes as "a centuries-old guy with a dark past who may or may not be evil."^[27] In truth, Buffy has not been involved with anyone since Spike's "death" at the Hellmouth, but still enjoys sexual fantasies about both Spike and Angel, as seen in her dreamscape.^[28] The Girl in Question is episode 20 of season 5 in the television show Angel. ...

Interestingly, the writers have often toyed with the concept of Buffy and her best male friend Xander as being a romantic couple. Xander had a crush of Buffy in the early seasons, but it was unrequited, with Buffy actually rejecting him when he finally admitted his feelings.^[29] When Buffy found herself greatly attracted to Xander while under the influence of a love spell, she was grateful to him for not taking advantage of the situation.^[30] More recently, Buffy experiences a strange dream in which she propositions Xander and kisses him on the lips, causing his head to pop off.^[31] Marti Noxon claims that "it certainly was set up that the two of them should end up together" and thats fans continue to hope for such as possibility. Sarah Michelle Gellar has gone on record as saying, "I honestly believe [Joss'] original intention was to put Xander and Buffy together. I really do believe that."^[32]

Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.

• Buffy's unusual name was the subject of Aphrodisia's somewhat ironic ridicule in the series opener. It would be the subject of a joke as late as the penultimate episode of the series.
• Joss Whedon has since revealed that the character of Buffy Summers is a combination of several X-Men characters. For example, her surname is taken from Scott Summers (Cyclops), and her personality is largely taken from Kitty Pryde.^{[citation needed]}
• In addition to Kristy Swanson and Sarah Michelle Gellar, five other actresses have portrayed Buffy. In flashbacks, a younger Buffy has been played by Mimi Paley, Alexandra Lee, and Candice Nicole. In Season Four, Buffy suffered a magical identity crisis and, having swapped bodies with Faith, was portrayed by Eliza Dushku (in the episodes "This Year's Girl" and "Who Are You"). Giselle Loren has portrayed Buffy in the video games and aborted animated series based on the series.
• Charisma Carpenter auditioned before Sarah Michelle Gellar for the part of Buffy. She was later cast as Buffy's rival Cordelia, the part Sarah Michelle Gellar originally auditioned for.
• Julie Benz and Elizabeth Anne Allen also auditioned for the part of Buffy, ending up with the semi-recurring roles of Darla and Amy Madison, respectively.
• Despite her various strengths, Buffy is sometimes portrayed as somewhat of a dumb blonde; her best friend Willow describes her in "Chosen" as "sweet girl, not that bright." Buffy even mentions this herself in the episode "Goodbye Iowa", telling Dr Angleman, "I feel an attack of dumb blonde coming on."
• Buffy has a habit of mangling demon names, much to Giles' irritation; Bezoar becomes "Bozo", Acathla becomes "Alfalfa" and "Al Franken", Kakistos becomes "Kissing Toast" and "Taquitos", and Turok-Han becomes "Chaka Khan."
• Buffy is most often the first person to realize what's really going on, even when her seemingly more intelligent friends are unable to (as in Intervention and Touched) and she is almost invariably the one to devise the plan of action to deal with whatever threat the group is facing. Even though she and others consider her a dumb blonde, on her SATS, she scored a 1430.
• A minor character trait of Buffy's is her aversion to studying history. In "The Harsh Light of Day", she sarcastically dismisses the subject as, "exciting dates and compelling places."
• A minor character trait of Buffy's is her inability to drive. She repeatedly asks her mother if she can take lessons, to little avail. When she finally does get her hands on the wheel in "Band Candy", she doesn't know what the hand brake is for. In Season Four's "Something Blue", she admits that "cars and Buffy are unmixy things." In Season Seven's "Him" she is shown to still have possession of, and drive, her mother's SUV, though she is still characteristically terrible at driving and parking it.
• In the episode "Bargaining", Buffy is revived and has to dig her way out of her grave; this recalls her nightmare scenario of being turned into a vampire and having to dig her way out of her grave, shown much earlier in the episode "Nightmares".
• Over the course of the series' 144 episodes Buffy had 210 kills that can be confirmed; Vampires: 125, Demons: 59, Primals: 1(She-Mantis), Walking Dead: 2, Robots: 2 (Malcolm and Ted), Misc. Creatures 17 & Humans: 3 = 210
• On a episode of Jimmy Neutron, Cindy dresses up a Muffy the Vampire Slayer for Halloween.
