BASIC INFORMATION

Name: Buffy Summers

Canon: Buffy the Vampire Slayer; end of 7x22 "Chosen"

Age: 22

Bio: Buffy Summers was called as a Vampire Slayer at age 15, and since then she has saved the world… a lot. She is a very unorthodox slayer; she was not trained by the Council to put her destiny before all else and therefore refuses to give up her normal life. She uses her emotions to help her fight and has friends who help her save the world, instead of depending on only herself. It is perhaps these differences from the typical slayer that has kept her alive for so long; in truth, she's one of the longest-lived slayers in history. But at the same time, she feels even more alone when she is with them because none of them will ever understand what it’s like for her. That’s the price of being a Slayer.

She has always been very unlucky with the men in her life. Her father took himself out of her life when she was a teenager, Angel left her because their love was ultimately doomed, Parker used her for a one-night stand, Riley couldn't handle her being the Slayer, and Spike... Well, Spike was complicated. Because of this, she doesn't have the best confidence in her own ability to have a decent, healthy relationship, and she's somewhat wary of trusting men with her heart.

Buffy no longer feels as close to her friends after the events prior to the battle with the First, when even her sister chose to side against Buffy. She sees it as the ultimate betrayal; they turned their backs on her the moment she failed to be their perfect hero and it will take a lot for her to truly forgive them. Still, she will always protect them because that's who she is.

SLAYER INFORMATION

SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES
As a Slayer, Buffy has supernatural speed, strength, agility, and durability. She also has accelerated healing, heightened awareness of surroundings, and a "spidey-sense" for detecting supernatural creatures, but especially vampires. And there's the occasional (incomprehensible) prophetic dream and magical access to the collective memories of the Slayers. Slayers also have a natural affinity for weapons of all types; Buffy can pick up any weapon and learn how to use it almost instantly. None of this means that Buffy is invincible - she's died three times before the one that brought her to Beacon (drowning, mystical energy electrocution, gunshot), it just never stick very well when her friends were involved.

In Beacon, her Slayer healing won't be quite what she's used to, and it certainly won't save her from any fatal injuries.

HUMAN ABILITIES
On the normal girl side of things, Buffy is a pretty good cook and a decent student in the right academic environment (ie, college vs high school). Driving is not a lauded part of her skill set.

No worries, she was busy with apocalypses for most of 2002 so she would have missed the KH mania. She'll definitely be commenting on those questionable fashion choices, though.
