Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I’m trying to communicate a story of the character. For Buffy the Vampire Slayer I’m pleasantly surprised at the complexity of the character.

She is not just a slayer of vampires. She started out as the stereotypical California valley girl and then was the chosen one forced into a life of danger and heroism that eventually led to her giving everything for her sister and all of humanity.

Today media is full of strong female characters. We can’t have enough. But Buffy was one of the first.
