Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Overview
One of the last Vampire Slayers activated in the 20th Century, Buffy Summers was one of the few Potentials never identified by the Watchers Council. Thus unlike the vast majority of other Slayer Potentials, she never received any indoctrination or training prior to her activation.

Originally a vain, shallow, and superficial cheerleader, she ultimately became one of the most significant (and notorious) Slayers of all time. She was responsible for saving the world on several occasions; splitting the Slayer Line in twain with her death and subsequent resurrection; defeating several notable vampires such as Lothos and the Master; and having a romantic affiar with two separate vampires, Angel and Spike.

She is also the longest living Slayer and credited with the creation of the Slayers Organization following the destruction of the Watchers Council and the activation of every single potential Slayer on Earth; leading a literal army of Slayers against the First Evil and various other supernatural threats.

Buffy Summers first appeared in the 1992 feature film, Buffy the Vampire Slayer which was released on July 31, 1992 and was portrayed by Kristy Swanson. She was later portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 1997 television adaptation series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiere episode, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" on March 10, 1997 and would go on to reprise her role throughout the series run and is most closely identified with the character by fans.

 * "To make you a vampire they have to suck your blood. And then you have to suck their blood. It's like a whole big sucking thing. Mostly they're just gonna kill you. Why am I still talking to you?"  ―Buffy Summers to Rupert Giles; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Welcome to the Hellmouth"
 * "You guys are going to have a prom. The kind of prom that everyone should have. I'm going to give you all a nice, fun, normal evening, if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it."
 * "If the apocalypse comes, beep me."  ―Buffy Summers; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date"
 * "I so don't want to deal with Spike right now. The guy is really starting to bug me in that special "I want to shove something wooden through his heart" kind of way."
