Character
Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the cool, hard-hitting vampire Slayer, Buffy Anne Summers, on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Her character started out as your average California teenager, then at the age of 15, she found out that she was the Slayer. A destiny of fighting demons, vampires and saving the world from evil is not every teenagers idea of fun. After she finally accepted it, she fought evil creatures in L.A., and eventually got expelled from her school for burning down the school gym. It was filled with vampires, though.
Along with her mother, Buffy moved to Sunnydale, California, also known as 'the Hellmouth'. After meeting some new friends, Willow and Xander, and meeting her new Watcher, Giles. At times Buffy has been reluctant to be the Slayer, but when she is needed, the Slayer in her always comes through. Living probably the hardest life there is to live, Buffy must face high school trauma, keep her slaying a secret from her mom, try to keep a social status, and deal with her slayer problems.
Over the seasons, Buffy developed a relationship with a vampire with a soul named, Angel. Their forbidden love struggled over the years through countless obstacles that the fates through at them. In the "Becoming" season finale, Buffy was kicked out of the house, expelled from school, and stabbed Angel with a sword, sending him to Hell. She saved the world again, but then fled the city to find a new life.
After her return, Buffy dealt with a new, troublesome Slayer sent to help and the return of her lover, Angel, from Hell. The new Slayer, Faith, turned to the dark side, Angel broke up with her to give her a better life, and the town's Mayor turned out to be over a hundred years old, with intentions of destroying the town of Sunnydale. Angel's life was threatened by poison and Buffy's blood saved him. Weak, but determined Buffy went on to defeat the Mayor (in a giant snake form) by blowing up the school.
Throughout her first year at College, Buffy struggled to deal with the new pressures, new responsibilities, and new struggles to be normal. After being used by one guy, Buffy became more cautious as to who she opened her heart too. She found a nice guy, grad student Riley Finn who showed promise. The two slowly built a relationship, which was both fuelled and troubled by the fact that Riley was also in the business of fighting evil. He worked for the government to capture and study the demonic creatures of Sunnydale.
Angel made a couple of visits in Buffy's life this season, but despite some fights, the two ended on a positive note. Once Buffy became involved with Riley, her friends took the back seat. By the end of the season though, that was repaired and the Scooby Gang was back to normal. A lot of evil was fought, the biggest of all being Adam: a creature that was made of man, demon and machine. With the combined power of her friends, Buffy was able to summon new Slayer powers and defeat Adam.
