Character Description
Buffy Summers was
born in January 1981 to Hank and Joyce Summers, making her to around 19 years of
age currently. She grew up in California, and as a child, she went through a
phase during which she idolized ice-skater Dorothy Hamill, and was close
friends with her cousin Celia until she died. This is something that haunted
Buffy for sometime, as her cousin died in front of her. Something that we
learnt about in Episode.....of Season.....
Buffy started her high
school career at Hemery High in Los Angeles, where she was a popular
cheerleader and in short, was a bit of an airhead; in 1996 she was elected Prom
Princess and Fiesta Queen, all part of her popularity times in which her only
cares were fashion, fun, boys and such trivial matters. Her life though was
turned upside down in that same year, For Buffy was contacted by a man named
Merrick, who told her that she was the Chosen One, the Vampire Slayer.
Though Buffy was
sceptical at first, it was true and she realised this after her first encounter
with a vampire; Merrick was her Watcher and trained her to fight. But Merrick
was killed, and in Buffy`s attempts at slaying vampires, she managed to burn
down her high school gym during prom time. Around that same time, after she had
burnt down the gym though, Joyce and Hank finalized their divorce, and Buffy
moved with Joyce to 1630 Revello Drive in Sunnydale.
She enrolled at Sunnydale
High School in hopes of starting a new life with a clean slate, Although her
principle did sticky tape her record back together. Buffy had declared her life
to be free of slaying, she was retired. But after a boy appeared with two holes
in the neck, Buffy encountered the school Librarian who produced a book for
her, and so, Giles, informed her that he was her new Watcher. Though reluctant,
Buffy was sucked full force into the life of a Slayer with the coming of the
Harvest.
Buffy became friends with
Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris, and to some extent, Cordelia Chase.
Interestingly enough, Cordelia, despite their rivalry and arguments, has complete
faith in Buffys ability as a slayer. Later, Buffy also became friends with
Willow`s boyfriend Oz and then Willows Girlfriend Tara, plus ex-demon Anya,
Xanders Girlfriend, and to some extent, Spike, a vampire, all of whom know that
she is the Slayer (as does her mother, finally, although she did try to burn
her at the stake as part of MOO, Mothers opposed to the Occult) and often help
in her endeavours.
Buffy also developed a
relationship with Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul; it's an intense relationship
which ended when he lost his soul after experience a moment of true happiness
(Ie, sleeping with Buffy). She was traumatised by this experience though, for
Angel, returned to the evil Angelus, tormented her, and in the end, when Angel
was trying to suck the world into a demon hell, she faced her love in a final
show down. Then, at a final moment Willow restored Angels soul, and Buffy
killed him, sending him to hell to save all.
Angel returned from demon
hell by some mystical power, the love forged in the ring he had given Buffy,
and although he was enraged and crazy at first, they eventually got back
together. Ultimately, Angel eventually realized that as Buffy got older, their
relationship would be doomed, and he left her, for her own good although it
would break both their hearts. Angel left Buffy after she graduated from High
School, in which she also saved the school yet again, and received the award of
class protector at the prom.
After graduating from
Sunydale High, Buffy moved on to Sunnydale's college and moved into a room with
Willow. Although she did experience a bad roommate at first, who ended up been
a demon. it seemed that Buffy was tormented by Angels departure from her life,
and had a one night stand with a lad named Parker, then moved onto a moron
named Riley. This is were we discovered that Buffy really was traumatised by
Angel leaving her and can't see how dumb Riley is.
Returning to Buffys life was
also the Vampire Spike, whom she ends up engaged to for one episode due to a
spell willow had cast. This was perhaps the best relationship she has had since
Angel left, too bad it was spell induced. Buffy did go after Angel, and during
that visit, Angel became a mortal and the pair spent one day together, before
Angel gave up mortality and happiness for her life, despite saying she would
never forget when the day was taken back, Buffy did, although it is possible
she will remember, at some point.
Buffys most traumatic
event to occur during her stay at college, apart from Riley, would have to of
been the return of Faith, whom she had so kindly put into a coma at the end of
season 3 while trying to kill her, but it was an acceptable act, since she had
done it to try and save Angel. Too bad Faith didn't think the same thing and
came to strike out her revenge, but instead she ended up swapping bodies with
Buffy, sleeping with Riley, causing some more pain to poor Buffy, before having
her body restored and Faith fleeing town. Of course, Buffy pursued her to LA.
During her visit she
discovers that Angel is hiding/protecting Faith, which really gets to her, as
one would expect. But in the end, Faith turns herself into the police, and
Angel tells buffy off, she returns to Sunnydale quite distressed by his words,
but Angel follows her, beats the crap out of Riley! Personally, I think Buffy
realised what a gimp Riley was here and that her heart will always belong to
Angel. Anyways, the season was left with Buffy having strange dreams of what to
come, the main thing been the coming of her sister, although…buffy doesn’t have
a sister. so when she comes, I’ll put up some more.
