30 Days of Buffy: Day 13

Day 13: Favorite Potential Slayer

This is tough.  They are a ton of potential slayers, but they really only show up in the second half of the last season.  We don't get a whole lot of time with any of them.  Amanda and Kennedy got decent story lines.  Annabelle, Molly, Rhona, Vi, and Chao-Ann at least had names and personalities; though Annabelle gets herself killed awfully quickly.  There are a few more girls with names (Chloe, Eve, etc).  And the rest are just filler, adding to the body count.

Based on what little information we get about these girls, I have to say that Molly stands out as my favorite.  And not just because she shares a name with my first and favorite doll.  She has a quirky sense of style and humor that I'm attracted to.  And she manages to be upbeat in the face of a whole lot of scary things.  Not to mention her accent, which is a completely shallow reason to like a character but totally works on me anyway.  I mostly chose her because she's the most memorable of the potentials (the only one besides Kennedy whose name I didn't have to look up).  So maybe she is my favorite simply because I used to have a doll with the same name.
