Buffy Summers Versus Kara Thrace
I've been thinking on this for a little while, beyond the character relationship mapping which I talked about in my Battlestar Slayer post, where I mapped everyone from Buffy and BSG onto each other. I became really fond of all my choices for that looking back. I'm including a brief review of that in this post because I feel like I need to. But I decided to write down the character similarities between Buffy and Kara, as well as some Faith stuff because... well... now I'm wondering what it would be like if we locked Faith and Kara in a room together... o_o

Returns from the grave?*~*Hey, I've died twice*~*"One amongst us here, is living proof that there is life after death"
On the other hand Kara shares a few traits with other leading Whedon women
Faith LehaneIssues with Authority
Has a reputation for getting around
Abusive mother
Also has absent father, replacement father figure (her dad and Mayor Wilkins... but Adama is more Giles than Wilkins)
Smoking (though Faith starts smoking at the end of BtVS, whereas Kara stops as the series goes on)
Propensity for ending up behind bars
TattooedCordelia ChaseReturns from being gone to set everything back on the proper path before poofing ascending to a higher plane of existence.
I'm suddenly reminded of how badly I want AU Faith as a pilot fic. Damn me and my crossover mind. Do I have to write this now?
