History:
Born to parents Hank and Joyce in 1981, Buffy Anne Summers had a fairly "normal" childhood. She loved figure skating (Buffy even had a haircut like that of her idol, Dorothy Hamill) and her stuffed pig, Mr. Gordo. But while attending Hemery High School in Los Angeles, California, Buffy found out at the age of fifteen that she was much more than just a girl - she was the Slayer. The "one girl in all the world, a Chosen One, one born with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires." With this new knowledge, Buffy trained with her first Watcher, Merrick, and began discovering her new abilities. Unfortunately, Buffy's popularity at school began to wane as her duties as Slayer got in the way of her social life. Besides Merrick, Buffy's only ally was Pike, considered a loser by most in her school. Problems at home plagued her as well, with her parents fighting more and more. Buffy's parents, believing she was ill when she told them of her Slayer status, sent her to a mental hospital for two weeks. This prompted Buffy to begin lying about being the Slayer and to pretend she had made everything up, thus securing her release from the hospital. Eventually, Hank and Joyce divorced, and Buffy moved to Sunnydale with her mother. This worked out well for Buffy since she had been forced to burn down Hemery's gym in order to kill the vampires within it, and was promptly expelled for it. Her Watcher, Merrick, was killed by the local vampire master, Lothos, and Buffy assumed she could now leave her Slayer life behind and move on in a new town.
But upon arriving at Sunnydale High, Buffy found that her Slayer days were far from over. The new British librarian at school just happened to be Rupert Giles, Buffy's new Watcher. Giles was quick to inform Buffy that they were in for an exciting time because Sunnydale was "at the center of a mystical convergence" and that she "may, in fact, stand between the Earth and its total destruction" - Sunnydale was located on a Hellmouth. Buffy at first refused to resume her role as Slayer, but as deaths occurred at the hands of vampires, she couldn't turn away from her duty. Thankfully, Buffy now had help in the form of her new friends, Willow and Xander, both of whom discovered her Slayer identity and while shocked at first, quickly accepted the reality and helped in any way they could, be it research with Giles or fighting vampires and other demons at Buffy's side. Buffy also gained a powerful ally and love interest in Angel, a 240 year old vampire with a soul. With the help of Willow, Xander, Giles, Angel, computer teacher and technopagan Ms. Calendar, and even snobby Cordelia, the school's reigning popularity queen, Buffy was able to bring down the Master, a very old and extremely powerful vampire trapped underneath Sunnydale. Despite a prophecy that she would die facing the Master, Buffy confronted her fears and went to challenge the Master. The prophecy was fulfilled and the Master drank from Buffy and left her in a pool of water to drown, now that he was able to break free thanks to Buffy's blood. Xander and Angel quickly arrived to rescue Buffy and found her not breathing, essentially dead as the prophecy had foretold. But Xander attempted CPR and was able to revive Buffy. With renewed determination and strength, Buffy confronted the Master again, this time defeating him and saving the world. School ended for the year and Buffy spent her summer in L.A. with her distant father, while Sunnydale remained without monster activity thanks to the burial of the Master.
Upon returning to Sunnydale in the fall, Buffy had a hard time dealing with the reality that she had died, even if it was only for a few minutes. But seeing her friends in peril and she having to save them forced Buffy to conquer her fears and move on. She and Angel grew closer together and began to fall in love. But Buffy also faced a new challenge with the arrival of vampire couple Spike and Drusilla, both of who had a past with Angel. Dru had been sired by Angelus, and Spike had been sired by Drusilla - one big vampiric family. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Judge, a powerful demon brought forth by Spike and Dru, Buffy and Angel finally told each other of their love and took the plunge by consummating their relationship. But a moment of perfect happiness with Buffy was the one thing Angel wasn't supposed to have. The gypsy curse which had restored his soul was broken and Angel reverted to his soulless self - Angelus. Buffy was devastated by the knowledge that Angel as she knew him was gone and that her time with him had brought on the change. But she found solace in her friends and was able to face Angelus, who had reunited with Spike and Dru, and destroy the Judge. Although she was unable to kill Angelus, Buffy told him to "give [her] time."
Angelus continued to wreak havoc in Sunnydale and preyed upon Buffy and friends. With his killing of Ms. Calendar and the devastating failure of an attempt to restore Angel's soul, which resulted in the death of fellow Slayer Kendra (who was called after Buffy's death at the hand of the Master) and in serious injuries for her friends and the kidnapping of Giles, Buffy was finally ready to take on Angelus and bring him down. Angelus readied himself to awake the demon Acathla, who would suck the world into hell. Meanwhile, Buffy learned from the mysterious Whistler that she would needed to stop Angelus before he awakened Acathla, otherwise, only Angelus' blood would close the portal opened by Acathla. Returning home for supplies, Buffy was confronted by her mother and forced to tell Joyce the truth of her being the Slayer. Joyce refused to accept the truth and warned Buffy not to return if she didn't follow Joyce's orders to stop being the Slayer. Knowing the fate of the world rested on her, Buffy turned away from her mother, and went to school to retrieve the only weapon that could kill Acathla, a sword given to her by Kendra. While at school, Buffy was spotted by Principal Snyder, who had always hoped for an excuse to expel Buffy. Since she was on the run from the police, who assumed she had killed Kendra when she was found at her side, Snyder took pleasure in announcing to Buffy that she was expelled. But this didn't stop Buffy; she knew what she had to do - kill Angelus. Unbeknownst to Buffy, as she headed for Angelus' mansion, Willow was once again attempting the spell to restore Angel's soul. With the help of Xander, Giles was rescued from Angelus, but Angelus managed to awaken Acathla and Buffy took Angelus on in a sword fight. Just as she was ready to deliver the final blow, Willow's spell came through and Angel's soul was restored. Not remembering what he had done, Angel was confused about his whereabouts, but Buffy reassured him that everything was fine. She told him to close his and "told him that [she] loved him... and [she] kissed him... and [she] killed him." The portal closed and Angel was sucked into hell, Buffy had no where left to turn... she had been expelled from school and turned away by her mother. Leaving her friends and family behind, Buffy rode away on a bus, alone.
Meanwhile, the Scooby Gang assumed Buffy's slayer duties while Giles searched for his lost Slayer. Buffy attempted to make a new life for herself, living in a small apartment and working at a diner in L.A. It took a trip to a hell dimension to make Buffy realize that despite hardships, she had a destiny to fulfill and a life to live in Sunnydale. She returned home and worked to rebuild her friendships and restore her relationship with Joyce, who had come to terms with her daughter being the Slayer. Plagued by dreams of Angel, Buffy had a hard time letting go of him, but with the help of her friends and a new love interest, Scott Hope, she was finally ready to move on. But as she left a memento of their love in the place where she had killed him, Angel suddenly appeared, somehow returned from hell. Confused at first, he soon regained his senses and Buffy began visiting him in secret, for fear that her friends wouldn't understand their rekindled relationship.
Another new arrival in Sunnydale was Faith, the Slayer called after Kendra's death. Buffy and Faith's relationship got off to a rocky start, but Buffy began to accept Faith as a part of the group, though Faith had a hard time seeing herself as one of the gang. Scott and Buffy's relationship didn't last for long and the end, though disappointing for Buffy, didn't seem to hurt her a great deal. Her friends soon found out about Angel's return and though worried and angry at first, they accepted his return when it became apparent he was no longer evil and felt guilt for the actions of Angelus. Buffy and Angel were finally able to begin a relationship again, though realizing they would never be able to be physically intimate again. Halfway through the year, Buffy also got a new Watcher, after Giles was fired (due to his fatherly love for Buffy), named Wesley Wyndham-Pryce. Buffy was constantly at odds with the young and stuffy Wesley and the Watcher's Council orders that came with him. Meanwhile, Buffy, Faith and the rest of the gang faced a new evil in the form of Mayor Richard Wilkins III. When Faith accidentally killed Deputy Allan Finch, Buffy attempted to help Faith comes to terms with her actions. However, Faith refused Buffy's help and though she saved Buffy's life, she turned to the Mayor and began to secretly work for him. Buffy and Giles soon realized this betrayal and with Angel pretending to have become Angelus again, they were able to expose Faith and learn what she knew of the Mayor's plan for Ascension - that it was to take place on graduation day.
Shortly before the prom, Angel told Buffy he would be leaving town, if he survived the Mayor's ascension. He didn't want to keep her from having a "real" relationship. After Angel was poisoned by Faith and the Watcher's Council refused to help cure him, Buffy quit the Council. In order to cure Angel, she needed the blood of a Slayer. Seeing no alternative and tired of dealing with the evils of Faith, Buffy planned to kill her and use Faith to cure Angel. Though she managed to stab her, Faith escaped from Buffy and was later found in a coma in which she remain for 8 months. Failing in this, Buffy decided to let Angel drink from her. Her blood cured him, and Buffy, though unconscious for a bit, recovered quickly and began planning how to stop the Mayor from ascending into a pure demon on at her graduation. She hatched an ingenious plan involving her fellow graduates. As the Mayor ascended into a huge demon snake-like creature, the students launched a full-on attack against the Mayor. Buffy, taunting him with the knife she used to "kill" Faith, led him into the school library where tons of TNT was planted. As she leapt outside, Giles set the explosion off and the Mayor was destroyed, along with Sunnydale High School. Having saved the day once again, Buffy watched Angel leave in silence and then sat down to reflect with her friends. "Guys, take a moment to deal with this - we survived... not the battle... high school." -Oz
Thanks to her excellent SAT scores (and despite her less than stellar grades), Buffy began attending UC Sunnydale with Willow and Oz the following fall. She moved onto the campus and after getting the typical college experience of a "roommate from hell," Willow moved in with Buffy.
