Nabbed this off ginger_veela, since I share her need for a distraction.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.

Funny, loyal, BAMF, love's bitch. He has a massive inferiority complex and identity crises everywhere and those things are v likely to make me love. I like that he's both a poet and a fighter, unashamedly submissive (with a bit of switch), and that he takes care of Dawn because he promised Buffy. Also, it makes my heart hurt that the Scoobies didn't support him as he tried to get better. Morally or otherwise. His redemption arc is awesome.

His ability to regenerate himself and adapt in response to those around him is fascinating and great too.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?

HOW ABOUT YES.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?

He does grip me emotionally, although, you know, less so than some of the fandom because I don't love him with every cell of my body :)

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?

Like it a lot, and love the source material madly.

5) Do you ( ... )

*beams* Thank you! He is so compelling. I'm watching S6 right now with my housemates, and he is naked a lot.

I still largely react the way I did at fourteen, though, which is before I knew I was bi: "move your naked torso out of the way, Marsters, I'm trying to look at Buffy's hair."

Hahaha, Buffy's hair. Faith is waaaay hotter. :D

Spike, after he gets his soul, doesn't appeal to me as a character anymore till near the end. He became too much of a whiny bitch. XD

AGREED. FAITH IS ALL THE HOT. *faints* BREASTS AND EYES AND LIPS AND HAIR AND BREASTS...

Hahaha. Yeah, I don't like him so much in s7 until near the end. I think it's partly because I don't like that the writers squished a lot of the moral ambiguity by ensouling him. Also, yes, he gets a bit of S3-Angel syndrome. Lots of shirtless sadface.

But I'm not a s7 fan in general, really.

Plus she's badass and kind of evilish so it makes her all sexy. Totally and completely sexy.

Yeah, it was like he was copying Angel and I did not care for it!!!

I can't stand S6, except for the musical and I tend to forget S7 except for the last episode.

SO. HOT. Plus I love the lesbian subtext with Buffy.

I know, I forget s7 as well - me and my housemate Violet, both huge Buffy fans, were saying we had no memory of what happens!

I am a fan of the s6 angst :D What's your favourite series? Mine is probably 3 or 5... Faith is my favourite character ever and there are so many fantastic individual episodes, and 5 is fun and beautifully constructed. I am also one of those unusual people who really enjoys s4 despite its fails :)

Oh my god, yes! So many times I just expected them to kiss or something!

I honestly can't remember what happened in 7 except for the super vicious vamp, Buffy's "we all could die" speeches and the end. Eek.

Ooo, that is hard. Cause the second half of 2 is so bomb, with Angelus! I love that storyline, too bad it was only half a season. I agree though that 3 was one of the best, if not the best. It had Buffy, Faith and Angel and that episode where he pretends to be Angelus again was awesome! And the mayor was a great villian.

S5 makes me cry so hard. Everytime. Whenever she makes that speech to Dawn. Guh.

S6 was just annoying cause of the crap-tastic villians and it was the beginning of Buffy (the character) getting on my nerves. S7 finished that off!
