Buffy Driscoll

Season 3

Season 4

**Buffy Driscoll** is a best friend of Andi Mack and Cyrus Goodman and daughter of Pat Driscoll. She made history as being the first girl on the Jefferson Middle School basketball team.

## History

### Relay Racing

Buffy got into relay racing. She was the fastest, and the coach, Mr. Rez, said her time broke the school record. However, because she was afraid she'd lose because her partner was too slow, she didn't hand the baton to her and she raced back to the finish line. They were disqualified because everyone on the team had to participate. Mr. Rez said to Buffy that she was talented, but she got in her own way.

### Friendship with Marty

At Andi's party, Buffy met Marty. She was surprised that he didn't know her, but Marty shot back and asked what made her so memorable. Marty said she was making the conversation very difficult with all the banter. They introduced themselves before going their separate ways in the party.

Marty was requested by the coach to time Buffy. After she was done, they recognized each other as they met at the party. Buffy remembered who he was with Marty's help. After getting her time, she was pleased with the result, which was 11.8. Marty said that she was the fastest girl, while he had a time of 11.5. Marty told Buffy that it's just a biological fact that the fastest female will never be able to beat the fastest male. Buffy then challenged him to a race, which Marty accepted.

As they get ready to race, Buffy was more flexible then Marty in stretching and showed off. Marty told her that everything doesn't have to be a competition. As they raced, Buffy got a head start multiple times, which made her win.

As their relationship progressed, Marty started calling Buffy a friend and Buffy jokingly denied it. However, he started to flirt with her, saying how she got a real sparkle in her eye when she got overconfident and that he liked it. Buffy didn't interpret it as romantic, though. After she was called less competitive because of her friendship, she went over to Marty and wanted to race him to prove who was the fastest. Marty didn't want to because he thought it didn't matter but Buffy persuaded him.

Shortly before the race started, Buffy couldn't find her shoe. Assuming Marty took it to sabotage her in the race, she took Marty's shoes and sunk them in toilet water.

### Moving

Pat got a promotion to manage the health and welfare of soldier's families in Phoenix, Arizona. When Buffy was devastated that she was moving, Andi created a plan where Buffy would stay at Celia's house until the end of the school year. Buffy told Pat, who got the wrong idea from it and stormed over to Celia's house under the impression that Celia was intentionally trying to tear her family apart. However, Andi hadn't told Celia yet so Pat brought her up to speed. Celia said that she would be fine with Buffy staying if she wanted to.

When the kids arrived home, Pat said to Buffy that her friends were wonderful people and that she'd have everything she needed at Celia's house. However, Pat had only just got Buffy back. She didn't want to let her go, even if it was for a few months. Buffy said she didn't want to either, which meant that she will be going with Pat to Arizona.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Pat Driscoll

Whenever Pat leaves to go overseas, she tells Buffy to stay strong, which is some of the reason why Buffy is so competitive and stubborn.

While Buffy was in the middle of a basketball game, Pat came to the game and surprised Buffy, who was in the middle of getting her first chance to hold the ball. She dropped it and ran over to hug Pat, relieved to see her alive and well.

After Madame Le Doux, a fortune teller said that Pat might not be home for good, Buffy called her and asked her. Pat said that she won't have to overseas again for at least a few years. However, Madame clarified her answer and said that Buffy wasn't home for good either, which meant that they could be moving. This turned out to be true when Pat got a promotion for a job in Phoenix, Arizona.

Despite Andi devising a plan so Buffy could stay with them, Buffy ultimate chose to go move with her mother, as they both didn't want to let each other go, even if it was only for a few months.

### Friendships

#### Andi Mack

Buffy is Andi's best friend. While Cyrus encouraged her to go for Jonah, Buffy was against it and didn't like that Andi was making a bracelet for Jonah. Buffy told Andi that she can lie to herself but not to her. Andi assured her that making Jonah a bracelet meant nothing, but Buffy told Andi that she's in extreme denial.

When Andi found out that Bex was actually her mother and Celia was her grandmother, Andi struggled to tell Buffy and Cyrus. However, Cyrus found a picture of Bex and Andi, but Cyrus and Buffy thought that the baby was a "secret baby" and not Andi. Later, Andi told both of them and they said they had lots of questions about it, but appeared to be overall supportive.

#### Cyrus Goodman

When Cyrus received a text from Jonah saying that he was girly, he enlisted Buffy to help him become more "boyish." She quizzed him on sports and other things and Cyrus eventually got the hang of it. However, the text turned out to be a typo and Cyrus went back to being his old self.

The day after the Space Otters Party, Buffy picked up on the fact that something's troubling Cyrus. Buffy said to him that he's scaring her but Cyrus said to Buffy that he's scaring him too. He eventually revealed to her that he was jealous of Andi and Jonah being together. Buffy first thought that he had a crush on Andi, but Cyrus non-verbally indicated that it wasn't Andi. Buffy then put the pieces together and realized it was Jonah. Cyrus said to her that he felt weird and different. Buffy said to him that he may be weird, but he's no different.

At school, Buffy tried to belittle Cyrus and Jonah's relationship as an attempt to make Cyrus feel better. Cyrus said that seeing them together is not painful and wanted to tell Andi what he was feeling and that it would be funny that they have a crush on the same guy. Buffy said that he just had to tell her, but Cyrus didn't want to. Buffy tried to convince him, but he told Buffy that she had to be patient and non-judgemental. Buffy eventually agreed.

#### Marty

Buffy met Marty at Andi's party. They shared some banter before going their separate ways.

They met again when Marty was timing Buffy. After Marty turned out to have the best time, she challenged him to a race and he accepted. She won the race with a head start, which Marty declared unfair.

As their relationship progressed, he started flirting with her, saying how she got a real sparkle in her eye when she got overconfident and that he liked it. Buffy denied that there was any romantic relationship, unlike what Andi and Cyrus thought.
