Buffy Anne Summers

Buffy Anne Summers also known as the Slayer is one of the main protagonists of the series as she protects the world from evil

   creatures like Vampires and joined the Saviour Orginization.

## Appearance

Buffy's most obvious noted feature was her relatively small size and slender frame, somewhat of an ironic statement given her physical strength and superior slayer agility.

Her hair, although changing in tone, haircut, and hairstyle through the years in accord to fashion and mood, was naturally and constantly blond.

Buffy's other distinguishing features included a bite-mark scar on the right side of her neck.

She originally received this scar from the Master, but since then was bitten by other vampires: Angel, Dracula, and Spike.

This was a recognizable fact among other Slayers and demons alike, enough to be a requisite to her decoys.

Notably, Buffy received a tattoo of the Mark of Eyghon from Ethan Rayne, but later spent her allowance to have it removed.

## Personality

Before becoming the Slayer, Buffy's personality was that of a superficial blonde valley girl; she herself claimed that even Cordelia "looked like a classical philosopher next to me."

Initially snobby towards people of a lower social class such as Pike, the isolation she experienced from her popular friends at Hemery High gave her new-found empathy towards outcasts like Willow and Xander.

Nevertheless, Buffy was something of a rebel who did not conform to traditional Slayer conventions; Rupert Giles once admitted that "some flexibility is required" when it came to being Buffy's Watcher.

Buffy also tended to venture out of the Slayer's typically supernatural jurisdiction, often dealing with crazed robots and even human criminals.

Buffy was unique as a Slayer in that she refused to give up her "normal" life for her destiny and worked with a group of close friends who knew her identity.

The spirit of the first Slayer, Sineya, once insisted to Buffy that the Slayer must work alone, a belief which Buffy promptly rejected.

## Skills & Abilities

Buffy was arguably the most powerful and successful Slayer to have existed, as seen through her long-Slayer lived-life and numerous victories.

A contributing factor to this was the emotional connections she formed, thus increasing her will to live which is in contrast to previous slayers who were disconnected from everyone, giving them little to live for.

As a Slayer, Buffy had the normal powers that came with the role, including superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, accelerated healing, and the following:

* **Physical combat** — As with every Slayer, Buffy possessed a natural proficiency with virtually all forms of weaponry and unarmed combat styles, and in addition to this she had years of combat training to hone in her skills using various martial arts (particularly jiu jitsu and aikido). Buffy tended towards a more improvisational approach to fighting, utilizing her emotions and anything in her environment that could help best her enemy. Her insistence to "go with the flow" during fights was sometimes looked down upon by others who considered her technique too "sloppy," but Buffy believed this gave her the upper hand. Even without her Slayer powers, Buffy retained her fighting skills and years of training; when temporarily stripped of her powers in the Supernatrual Crisis Act, she was able to take on a human MMA fighter and defeat him.
* **Senses:** Slayers possessed a heightened awareness of their surroundings, allowing them, with experience, to know the position of an attacker and fight them blindfolded or in the dark. As example of this, Buffy was able to pinpoint the position of invisible Marcie Ross by standing silently for a few seconds before landing a perfect punch; throw a ball at Giles after being spun while blindfolded; and sensed a trio of invisible demons quietly entering the room, alerted just in time to turn around and block an attack. However, Buffy never fully developed the Slayer power to sense supernatural activity, not knowing Angel and Willow were vampires until they revealed their demonic visage. Buffy normally relying on her wits to discern demons and vampires from humans, such as dated clothing indicating an immortal creature.
* **Psychic link:** This link collected the memories of all past Slayers, experiences helped hone their skills and aid them in future battles. It allowed as well communication between coexisting Slayers through dreams, as Buffy and Faith shared several dreams when Faith was in a coma, providing the first cryptic reference to Dawn's arrival and Buffy's own death.
* **Prophetic Dreaming:**This ability allowed Buffy to foresee events such as various of her foes for her first year in Sunnydale, Angel's transformation into Angelus, Jenny Calendar's deception, the arrival of the Gentlemen, and the deaths of the Potentials Slayers by the Harbingers of Death.
* **Intellect:** Although she was sometimes considered a dumb blonde by herself and others, Buffy frequently showed herself to be quite intelligent, possessing strong leadership skills and having a natural flair for tactical planning. Prominent examples of Buffy's intelligence included her near-perfect S.A.T. score, her defeat of Zachary Kralik by using his dependency on anti-psychotic medication against him, her quick deduction of the Buffybot's true nature, her rapid deduction of Riley's affiliation to the Initiative based on weeks of evidence, and her immediate realization of Katrina Silber's true murderer upon hearing her name at the police station.
