Who is your Buffyland counterpart?

[rogue11]

Which Buffy character would you say you can see a bit of yourself in?
For me it would have to be Season 4 Willow since I'm exploring the the whole being gay thing as well as the university student aspect. Also, season 7 Willow cuz thats sort of the aftermath stage for her where she's just becoming more grounded after a lot of bullsh**.
How about you?

[AngelFaith]

Faith.

I'm not evil or anything, but the cynicism, the tough exterior hiding all the hurt, the jaded outlook on life and the need to be loved and accepted, all things I can completely relate to.

Plus I can get a little slutty sometimes, especially if I'm feeling vulnerable, and I tend to be a bit over-sexualised at times.

[shslibrarian55]

Andrew.

I'm not the most certain of people, and in high school we had an evil genius club (although it was a joke and we never actually tried to take over the town).

Further, I'm big on the geeky tangents that last minutes to hours, and they're some of my favorite parts of Buffy. I think he evolves, and really does go from confused to good, and I like that redemption.

If I had to go with a second, it'd be Giles.

[PJ]

a mix of Willow and Oz.
Oz for the Looks, and Willow for the personality.
;D

[Astray]

Faith + Tara. I think their personalities reflect their life/family experiences in two opposite ways; Faith having to learn to be tough and independent, and Tara being shy and passive. I think I switch back and forth between those two types all the time. I feel like I understand those two more than anyone else in Buffyland.

[The Night Lord]

Angel + Spike

Angel because I'm quiet and reserved, I can brood for hours or days, I like standing in the shadows and wear black clothing and I prefer to be alone

Spike because I can loud and sarcastic, sometimes as a way to cover the pain, don't have a good relationship with my mother (currently) and I swagger on occassion

[KaileeA42]

A few years ago I would have said Willow because I was very shy and smart. But I do believe that, like Willow, I have become far more confident and social over the last few years.

Also, I kind of weirdly relate to Spike because I tend to get the feeling that I care about people much more than they care about me and I'm the one always reaching out and putting the effort into my relationships. I can be kind of clingly and oversensitive on occasion but if I am I generally hide it. Also, I obsess over tv shows and random foods and am sarcastic. I love tailcoats and British accents of that counts. I'm a natural blond but I do dye it a couple shades lighter since it gets darker with age.

Also, I get Wesley in the way that he looks back and who he used to be and shudders.

If Andrew were real, we would probably be good friends. I too go on long pointless nerdy tangents that no one listens to and make random videos. Then there's the obsession with Spike, lol. I'm much less of a pushover than Andrew was though. I have pretty strong morals.

[rogue11]

AngelFaith: loves it!
Astray: i kind of can relate to what you said
KaileeA42: I like what yu said about being like Spike, i can be that way too

[buffyfan21]

Hmm, if I had to say who I see myself in it would probably be Willow (sans the gayness and magic addiction ) Willow from the first 3 seasons especially. Smart, nerdy, geeky, sometimes painfully shy and socially awkward, computer/school/book loving Willow.

I'd probably throw a bit of Tara in there due to my shy awkwardness at times. And a bit of Xander and Andrew b/c I am a big nerd. Oh, and a little of Giles as well for my love of books.

I really think there is something relatable about all the characters which is one thing that makes the series so great.

[Scarygothgirl]

I think I try to be Buffy, but really I'm Anya. I like to be honest, and that tends to come out as being quite blunt...

[buffyfan21]

^^ Haha. I admire Anya's blunt, "tell it like it is" nature. I actually wish I could be more like that at times.

That pretty much sums up who I am too. Definitely the shy and socially awkward Willow from the first 3 seasons, with some of Tara's shyness and maternal instincts thrown in there too, but I have some of Cordelia's bitchy qualities as well.

^^ That.

[Xander-Shaped Friend]

Xander with an obvious Cordelia/Anya quality. I'm Xander because Im a geek and I quip a lot. Often at inappropriate moments. Cordelia/Anya because I'm blunt. Sometimes it's straight forward like Anya or it's layered in bitch snark like Cordy. Also, I hardly think the gay thing makes me relate to Willow because beyond that distinctive quality we have nothing in common.

[BlueJay]

I think I'm like Willow best.

I'm very nerdy, smart, I kinda have that social awkwardness thing going on, but I'm very sociable, helpful, and friendly. But there are times that I go to "get-down-to-business" mode which is very like Willow when she gets focused on magic. Kinda like how Willow went all freaky while re-ensouling Angel. That's how much I change in an instant when something serious is going on. I also fluctuate a lot personality-wise, yet I'm still me.

[ladyparasyte]

Faith. Not the murdering...but more the "your own worst enemy" personality traits.

[orangejuicepony]

Mostly Xander because I'm not really the best at anything within my group of friends, but I am a good friend, and I have alot of heart. But then again, I also have a bit of Anya, because I tend not to have much of a filter.

[VampSlayer]

Oz. I'm like him so much, it isn't even funny.

I really think my personality is almost identical to his own.

[Billie Erin]

Probably season 2 Willow, kind of awkward and geeky but starting to come out of her shell a bit
