Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Character Profile

BUFFY
She is a blonde, feisty, 15 year old girl who is struggling to keep up with school work whilst battling vampires and demons and general teenage-angst. She is THE vampire slayer, she believes in right from wrong even though she is inlove with a vampire - Angel.
She wants to do well in school and life but her job has to come first.
Her parents are divorced and she moved to Sunnydale (the Hellmouth) when her mum applied for a job at the Sunnydale Gallery. She loves her dad but knows he wo't commit to being a full-time parent. She sees Giles (her Watcher) as a father figure and turns to him for advice whenever she can.

WILLOW
She is a red-headed 15 year old (obvious virgin).
She is the class swot and wants to achieve the top academically and of course will. She is very loyal, especially to her friends (Buffy is her best-friend ), She is secretly inlove with Xander who she has known her whole life (only Buffy is aware of her feelings for him though). And she hates drawing attention to herself. 
Her parents are quite strict so she has never had a boy in her room.
She wants to fight vampires and be more like Buffy but comes across as more as a piece of bait rather than a hero. She ends up assisting Giles in the library on most occassions. 

XANDER
He is the typically hormonal 15 year old boy.
He is the class dweeb - typical misfit - he isn't a jock but could be if he wanted to be, he isn't a geek and knows he never could be. He doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows-up, he prefers to live in the moment and wants to enjoy high school (even though he knows he never will).
His best-friend is Willow but he doesn't realize that she loves him. He fancies Buffy so is extremely jealous of Angel (Buffys boyfriend), he tries to be tough to impress her, failing every time.
He hates Cordelia (the prettiest girl in school) but fancies her too, they are having a secret relationship.
He has a very relaxed home life so he can get away with whatever he wants but he doesn't because he believes in right from wrong.

GILES
He is a very reserved and well spoken 30 something.
He works as the librarian at Sunnydale High School, but his real job is to be the Watcher of the vampire Slayer (Buffy). He cares for her deeply and loves her like a father would, although sometimes it seems he is more like Yoda to Buffys Luke Skywalker.
He loves his books and seems to have an infinite supply of them but he has failed to master the idea of the internet. 
He has a slight crush on Joyce Summers (Buffys mum) but hates anyone knowing too much about his personal life both past and present.
He studied at Oxford and believes there is no-one who kows more about demons than he does.
