While Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a lot of good characters, I realize that I had my favorites. As far as male characters went, my favorite was Spike followed by Giles. Female character-wise, it was Willow, followed by Faith as distinct second. So who were (are) your favorite characters on Buffy?

I loved Cordelia, even when i didn't like her much! She really made me laugh and as she matured (and crossed over to Angel) i liked her even more! I cried so much in the Angel episode You're Welcome. There's other characters who i also thought were great, like Spike, how cool was he? But Cordy is still my fave!

Out of all the characters, I would say that Cordelia was the one that showed the most growth over the years. It was interesting to watch her mature.

I was...but I loved it when she was immature. You could always count on her to say what others are thinking :-)

Female-wise, Willow is the best, followed close by Anya! As for the guys, it was Spike all the way!! He had me hooked from the time he said that humans were happy meals with legs!

Angelus was great at being bad. Plus i've never seen a guy look so sexy with eyeliner on!

That is an excellent question. I personally have a couple. There are different reasons for all. Let's start with Spike! He is so rebel and yet you want him around cuz there is something very alluring about him. You know he's bad but yet you still want to hang with him.And that accent is great! Xander is one of my favorites becauuse he's always funny and very handsome if I do say so myself. You get to watch him become more in control of his life and self as the series progresses. He's was there from the beginning. Anya (I hope I spelled her name right.) I like her because she's just very to the point. Says funny things too that no one esle could get away with. Faith because she stirs things up for the gang and makes you think about what hainvg such a power can do to you if you don't use it properly. Giles because he gives them all a guideline on which to follow. He's funny too in his own sarcastic way. Of course Buffy cuz without her there would be no series at all.It's cool to watch her grow and change over the series. Also watching all of the emotions she goes through are great too. It's good to see we can relate to our heroes.

My favvys are Faith and Drusilla for the girls, and for the males, its a tossup between Angel and Spike.

I had a hardcore crush on Spike, especially after he and Buffy got together. He did the tortured soul thing for a long time, which was really hot. But seeing them together (like that episode where Buffy's invisible and throws him up against the wall and unzips him and..... yum!) I liked Willow too! I wasn't a big fan of Faith. I think if I had to pick my next favorite, I'd pick Glory. She was fun and they gave her some great lines.

There were heaps of great characters throughout the 7 seasons of buffy. But Andrew was by far the all round best. He was an extreamly funny evil person and even better when he was on his way to redemption. Put him and Johnathan together and you just had to laugh. Yes I admit I am a Huge fan of the entire Buffy era as I was made to study it for my Film C.A.T

Willow was by far my favorite character, my second favorite would have to be Giles. Then there is Spike, Tara, Buffy, and Dawn oh! And Drusilla too, although she did annoy me sometimes.... My least favorite female characters were Anya, and that stupid vampire cheerleader chick. My least fav male character was Riley for sure!!!! Fav Episode THE MUSICAL least fav episode THE LAST EPISODE (it was so gay...)

My favorite male characters were definitely Xander and Spike. My favorite female characters were Cordelia, Tara and Willow. My favorite villains were the mayor, Glory and of course, Angelus. What's weird is that I hated Angel when he was on Buffy. Not the actor, but the character. The only time I enjoyed him was when he was evil and taunting everyone. However, when he got his own show, I fell in love with the character. Buffy totally emasculated any guy she was with or around. I know the show was about girl power, which I am all for, but that doesn't mean the men can't kick some a** too! On Angel, all of them worked together and kicked major butt whether they were men or women. I wished it had been that way on Buffy as well.

Willow is my absolute favorite. Followed up by Spike, and then Xander. I'm fond of all the characters, but those are my top three. Rarely does a show come out where all the characters are so well written, and interact so great. This was just an awesome show.
