The character I least understand
I feel like I have a good grasp on most of the main characters. Maybe Kennedy - I wish I understood her better, but for me she blurs into the other potentials and I don't fully get her.

Interactions I enjoyed the most
#1 Buffy/Spike. #2 Xander and Willow. #3 Everyone and everyone.

The character who scares me the most
Do the Gentlemen count as characters? If not, well, Warren is pretty horrifying. Because he is so mundane.

The character who is mostly like me
Willow Rosenberg

Hottest looks character
Spike

One thing I dislike about my favorite character
Buffy has this tendency towards...fandom tends to call it "self-involvement", which works well enough. It's like she loses perspective and blows her own stuff out of proportion. Declaring "Faith wins again" because she and Angel had a tiff while Faith is going to prison for stuff like murder.

One thing I like about my hated character
Hating characters on BtVS is not a thing I do. My least favorite characters are (in no particular order), Riley, Anya, and Tara. However there are many things I love about those characters. I love Riley because his worldview has gone unquestioned for so long and then we get to watch it fall apart. I love Anya because her view of the world is so cockeyed. I love Tara because she has so little confidence in her value to the people around her, and yet she has this quiet confidence in herself.

A quote or scene that haunts me
Buffy finding out about Ford's illness in Lie To Me. "You have a choice. You don't have a good choice, but you have a choice! You're opting for mass murder here, and nothing you say is gonna make that okay![...]I think this is all part of your little fantasy drama! Isn't this exactly how you imagined it? You tell me how you've suffered and I feel sorry for you. Well, I do feel sorry for you, and if those vampires come in here and start feeding, I'll kill you myself!"

Also, Jonathan in Conversations with Dead People:
Andrew: You know what? They don't wanna talk to you—all those people you just mentioned. Not one of them is sitting around going, "I wonder what Jonathan's up to right now." Not one of them cares about you.
Jonathan: Well, I still care about them. That's why I'm here.

A death that left me indifferent
Well, it was hard to keep track of all those potentials.

A character I wish died but didn’t
I can't think of any.

My ship that never sailed
I always thought Faith/Spike would be fun.
