Name: Buffy Giles
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Gender: female
Age: 16
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Version: Alternate Universe

Buffy has a soft, almost baby faced look at times that suits her young age of 16. Her long dirty blonde hair hangs halfway down her back, framing a dainty face and sparkling hazel green eyes. Standing at a short 5’2” tall, she has a petite form that looks like you could break her in half by accidentally bumping into her. If you tried though, you’d find that looks are deceptive, as her slim form hides how extremely well muscled her entire body is. Due to her Slayer powers, she almost never scars, but there is an exception to every rule. Buffy has only one scar, an imprint on the right side of her neck where a vampire bit her and drained her of blood.

Her fashion sense doesn’t help perceptions either. Most of the time she wears whatever is trendiest. More recently she’s been into short skirts, knee high boots, cute trench coats, and midriff tops.

Since arriving in Template, Buffy has also discovered a strange cross shaped mark on the back of her left shoulder.

Buffy has several facets to her personality, the primary ones being her persona as a Slayer vs. her everyday casual personality. When most meet Buffy, they see your average bubbly teenager who likes to hang out with her friends and gossip over pizza. She’s cheerful and optimistic as well as easy to approach for the most part. Her most pressing everyday concerns are often whether this top goes with those shoes and trying to figure out if she has time to hang at the Bronze with her friends after she’s done with her homework. Nothing too far out of the ordinary though.

That is, until you meet her in battle. Buffy is a born Slayer, which means that while she wasn’t trained to suppress her emotions or personal attachments, she can still switch to all business mode within a matter of seconds when she needs to. When the chips are down, Buffy is highly intelligent and is an almost natural strategist in battle. She’s quick on her feet mentally and can often come up with a fantastic plan on the fly. And, of course, she loves to throw quips at her opponent, being of the mind that throwing your enemy off balance is more than just a physical thing. Or perhaps she just thinks she’s funny. ^__^;;

Above all things though, Buffy values loyalty and honesty. Although Buffy was never separated from her family as the called Slayers before her were, she has the history of the Slayers etched into her mind. Her father made sure that she knew what the Slayers before her had been through in an effort to make sure that Buffy appreciated the freedoms she had as a born Slayer. Any who would dare to cross the people that Buffy cares for would have to answer to her wrath, and it would not be pretty.

As a born Slayer, and partially as the first born Slayer, Buffy has many advantages over not only regular humans, but her fellow Slayers as well. In the power structure of Slayers, a born Slayer is stronger than a called Slayer, and Buffy is the most powerful of the born Slayers. Her strength and speed is superhuman. She can withstand far more damage than a human and she can heal insanely fast. When she’s properly motivated, Buffy can lift several times her weight. She’s also one of the fastest humans on the planet, able to outrun most supernatural creatures and catch arrows in mid-flight. While her skin isn’t impervious to blades, she can and has taken heavy beatings with very little injuries to show, including falls from rooftops and being hit with cars. When she is hurt though, almost anything non-life threatening usually heals within 24 hours.

Buffy is also highly gifted in the art of precognition in the form of dreams, as well as having a powerful sixth sense of those around her. She can connect with other Slayers in dreams, but for the most part, her dreams are used to let her know of when danger is coming. For example, Buffy will often have troubled dreams of enemies to come before they arrive in Template. Her sixth sense is part of what gives her a leg up in battle. Through it she can often tell where her enemies and allies are around her without seeing them. The physical training that her father gave her helped to heighten this sense, as he would force her to fight blindfolded in order to make her use her sixth sense.

Lastly, Buffy has a natural talent with almost any weapon she picks up. In addition, she has trained extensively through her childhood with a variety of blades and it shows in her battle style. Sword, ax, scythe, mace all fit perfectly in with her fighting techniques, and can all be deadly in her hands.

Buffy’s most prominent weakness is probably her friends and family. Normally Buffy is cool headed in battle, almost enjoying her fights sometimes. She can handle any insults an enemy throws her face easily, letting them simply slide past her. If she feels that her loved ones are in danger though, her protective side will kick into gear, and she can get sloppy. All the training that she’s had ingrained into as she grew up will fly out the window, leaving her enemy facing a wrathful Slayer. While this means that Buffy hits harder, moves faster, and attacks without mercy, it also means that an intelligent opponent can take advantage of her anger to manipulate and defeat her.

Physically though, there’s not much that can phase Buffy. The only thing that’s ever been proven to work against a Slayer is a highly secret drug held by the Watcher’s Council. This drug was once used as a part of a test for the Slayer, before the Slayer line was opened and expanded. Her Watcher would give it to the unsuspecting Slayer on her seventeenth birthday and she would be stripped of her powers, weaker than most humans. Then the Watcher would trap her in a dangerous situation where she would have to fight her way out. If she survived, she was allowed to remain the Slayer and continue the battle against evil... If not, then the powers of the Slayer would move to the next girl to be called.

Although the drug in question has never been released or even made known to the public, it is a concoction of muscle relaxants and depressors. Buffy knows of its existence due to her father, Rupert, telling her about it and the test that surrounded it, but she has never been exposed to it.

"In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."
