Buffy's friends and family

The Japanese slayer who tracked down the vampires who stole Buffy's scythe.

A self proclaimed Super Villain and Evil Genius, Andrew was a member of the Trio, a group of social outcasts who were a thorn in Buffy's side for a time. Since then he has vowed to fight for the forces of good.

Once the Patron Saint of Scorned Women, granting them wishes to exact revenge on their former lovers, she was turned human by Giles and fell in love with Xander. She died in the battle of Sunnydale.

One of the potential slayers that Giles brought to Sunnydale, she is best known for being unable to speak English and thus having no idea what is going on.

When we were first introduced to the Buffy character, she was an only child and she remained that way for quite a while. However, Dawn, Buffy’s sister was suddenly introduced into the Buffyverse. She was not born a baby girl; in fact she's supposed to be just a few years younger than Buffy. Later it was revealed that Dawn is not in fact a normal human being, but a physical shape given to a mystical device called “the key”. This key is supposed to be a catalyzer that enables the bridge between dimensions. A group of wise monks created the human form of Dawn to hide the Key from the reach of Glory (an evil goddess) who was trying to create an entryway to her home dimension. If she succeeded in creating this portal then the structures that separate earth from hellish universes would be torn down resulting in the destruction of reality as we know it. Of course, Buffy stops this from happening, but sacrifices herself in the process.

Rupert Giles is a Watcher that the Council assigned to work with Buffy after the death of Merrick. He first met Buffy at the school's library where he was working as a librarian. He recognized her as the Slayer and presented her with a book on vampires that she quickly rejected then fleeing the scene. As Buffy wanted to leave her life as a Slayer behind her, she was reluctant to taking Giles as her Watcher, especially with the death of Merrick still fresh in her memory. Nevertheless the Watcher was constant and kept insisting until Buffy finally decided to accept her destiny as the Slayer.

When Giles returned from England to assist Buffy in battling "The First", Kennedy was one of the three potential slayers that he brought back with him.

Robin is the only son of Nickki Wood, a slayer that was killed in New York City by Spike. Wood came to Sunnydale as the principal of the new Sunnydale High in order to get closer to Buffy, even hiring her as a school guidance counselor.

Quite a popular character in the Buffyverse is the vampire formerly known as William the Bloody. He even got his own comic book. The name “Spike” is actually a nickname inspired in one of the forms of torture preferred by the vampire. He would use railroad spikes to prick his victims with, bleeding for hours before killing them. Spike first became friends with Buffy when the government put a chip in his head which wouldn't allow hiim to harm humans. Later, Spike fought to get his soul that Buffy could love him, and sacrificed himself to destroy Sunnydale

One of the potetnial slayers that camped out at Buffy's house.

When Buffy first met Willow she could have been described as a sweet, self conscious and often nervous girl. She would exhibit low self esteem and sometimes she’d let people push her around. Willow plays a very important role in Buffy’s life. She, along with Xander, became the Slayer’s first friends when she arrived at Sunnydale and they have remained her best friends ever since. Also, during the course of their friendship Willow has come a long way from being a modest helper who did some research for Buffy and sometimes quite frankly just a nuisance (Buffy having to help her out of trouble constantly), to becoming a very powerful witch and thus a formidable ally.
