Personal Canon Meme

[aadler]

 
I got this one from jedibuttercup. Looked like it might be fun, so I’ll give it a try:

Name a character and I’ll give you three or more “facts” from my personal fanon about that character.

For the purposes of this meme, I can be considered a Buffy-only author.

Since you got it from me... how about the character I write (warp?) the most: Buffy Summers herself.

That’s more of a challenge that you might think, because, though I’ve focused almost solely on BtVS for fanfic, I haven’t used Buffy herself that much in my stories.

So, okay, fanon facts (originating with me) about the character of Buffy Summers:

1. She’s really — through an accidental time-shift brought about by Ethan Ranye — Giles’ daughter. (As a result, she has Giles’ eyes.) Only two people know her paternity, though, and they’re not even people. Whistler is one; Drusilla is the other.
2. She isn’t actually named ‘Buffy’, that came from her cousin Celia’s toddler attempts to pronounce her real name. After Celia died, Buffy refused to answer to anything else, so it stuck permanently.
3. Before she got back enough consciousness to make a reasoned decision, she wanted (and part of her intended) to kill whoever had pulled her out of ‘heaven’.

Hope that works.

I love the Giles' daughter thing-- that's the first story of yours that really hooked me in. It also made it nearly impossible for me to read Buffy/Giles for a good long while. *grin*

I like the others, too.
