Day 4: Favorite Female Character
This one is tough. Mostly because I need to remember to confine my answer to what happened on Buffy and not let Angel bleed in. But my top two choices - Fatih and Cordy - both had continuing character arcs on Angel that made me love them even more.
Sticking to just Buffy, though, I'd have to go with Faith. I think she's so incredibly interesting. She's damaged, definitely. We only get hints of her past, but it certainly affected her a lot. She goes from wild girl to bad girl to downright evil over the course of season three, then fights for redemption for the rest of her stint on the show. I love her relationship with the mayor; it's just so sweet. I love when she wakes up from the coma and goes on a vengeance kick before hitting rock bottom (on Angel). I also think Eliza Dushku did a better job playing Buffy and Sarah Michelle Gellar did playing Faith, but that might just be me.
I adore her run at the end of the series. It might just have been because I was so excited to see Faith again. But her road to recovery is difficult. It's interesting that she finally gets to walk a mile in Buffy's shoes near the end of the season and finally realizes just how similar they are. And how lonely.
