Nationality: American
Socioeconomic Level as a child: Middle Class
Socioeconomic Level as an adult: Middle Class
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Current Residence: Haurvatat
Occupation: Slayer, Ice Rink manager
Talents/Skills: She has preternatural speed and strength. Buffy can handle any weapon with precision even if she's never used it before. She's very agile.
Birth order: (birth) only child. Dawn is her younger sister by blood
Mother (+ Relationship): Joyce Summers and Buffy were close. They had their problems as all mother/daughters do but at the core of their relationship they were tight. When Joyce first found out about Buffy being the Slayer, she wasn't all that happy but it was out of concern than anything. In time, Joyce became very supportive of Buffy. Her mother's death hit her very hard.
Father (+ Relationship): Hank Summers and Buffy had a complicated relationship. She has abandonment issues because of it and Giles is more of a father than her father is. When her mother moved them to Sunnydale, Buffy saw her father less and less. There would be excuses why he couldn't come and she took it as a sign that it was her fault. That she wasn't good enough. It colors everything that she does, even with Giles filling that role.
Significant Others (+ Relationship): Angel the vampire. Talk about complicated. Buffy is a vampire slayer in love with a vampire with a soul. She will always love Angel no matter where their lives go. He was her first love and her soul mate. If they could be together without Angelus she would still be with him but that will never happen. She has come to terms with this and has moved on. Buffy hopes that Angel will always be in her life at least as a friend.
Significant Others (+ Relationship): Riley Finn. What could have been just a bridge between Angel and her next love wasn't. Buffy loves Riley and feels guilty in their relationship in the village. She knows that in his future he meets and marries Sam. She is technically the other woman even if it hasn't occurred yet and she feels that. Buffy feels selfish for taking this chance with Riley but feels the inevitable crash and burn when he returns to his world or Sam arrives in the village will be her punishment enough.
Significant Others (+Relationship): Spike. Another very complicated relationship for Buffy. She trusts him with her life and more importantly she trusted him with Dawn. They put the fun in dysfunctional in their relationship. Buffy just wanted to feel after she came back from heaven and Spike allowed her to feel if not think. He understood her and what she was going through. Buffy loved him in her own way but she was never in love with him.
Relationship skills: Non-existent. *snerk* Buffy has horrible skills when it comes to relationships. Until she works through her father issues, Buffy will always have doomed relationships.

Character and Haurvatat
1. Dawn Summers - her baby sister and her life. She would die for Dawn and has.
2. Riley Finn - her boyfriend and love. She knows it will end one day with him going on to be with Sam but while in the village, she is taking this second chance. Even if it means her heart will be broken.
3. Seeley Booth - He looks like Angel but is very different. Those differences help and being around him has helped her to move on from Angel.
4. Giles - Her second father and watcher. They have a bond that is deeper than anything she ever had with her own dad. Buffy still feels betrayed by something in his future/her present and will slowly come to terms with it.
5. Faith - Complicated at best. They have many issues that need to be worked through.
6. Lucas North - Someone that gets what it's like to be her. Faith might understand the Slayer part but Lucas understands the being a general part and the faces at 3am.
7. Spike - Complicated at best. She knows what is in his future but this version isn't him. They are enemies in the village and it sort of feels good to have that footing with him again.
8. Dru - Wants her head on a platter but unfortunately can't do it.
9. Ethan - See above for Dru.
