I’ll go with Willow, Jenny Calendar, Faith and Fred, in no particular order. They will all get the valuable opportunity to be my love puppet.

I never liked Cordelia. In fact, one of the reasons I like _Buffy_ Season 4 so much is that it’s Cordelia-free.

Willow. Of course I always had a thing for cute lesbians. Actually, I just love anything Alyson Hannigan is doing.

Who was the sexy “techno-pagan” teacher in season 1? She was hot, but I don’t remember the actress’ or the character’s name.

Faith. Definately Faith. Then probably jailbait Dawn 😃

Oh and what about the Buffy bot? She was much hotter than Buffy!

Cool, then my short list is:

Willow  
Jenny Calendar  
Cordelia  
Buffy  
Darla

I look forward to watching season 2, which my friend assures me is the best one of all.

> (the Buffy-verse suffers from a lack of good looking sistas, I’m suddenly noticing)

Briefly hijacking my own thread, the sistas I can recall are:

Rona the potential slayer  
Lissa the demon Xander dated in “First Date”  
Olivia, Giles’ would-be girlfriend  
Nikki Wood the Vampire Slayer  
The First Slayer  
Kendra the Vampire Slayer  
Alonna, Gunn’s sister  
Some unnamed vamp Spike talks to in the Bronze in “Sleeper”  
Aura, from “Welcome to the Hellmouth” (who found the body in the lockerroom)  
Aggie, Lorne’s psychic hotline friend (played by the same actress, Persia White, as Aura) and  
Jasmine.

Also, it is interesting that so far no one has selected Buffy as the girl you like. Perhaps the show would’ve been a lot more popular if it had been titled “Willow the Lesbian Wicca.” 😉

Sorry, to clarify, no one has selected Buffy as his/her first choice so far. Carry on.

Well, since I haven’t a clue who is who in the Buffyverse, and I know who played Buffy… I’ll bite the bullet and take her. 😉

PS to zamboni… there was a little ‘whoosh’ hidden in your list of candidates, right?? Chantarelle, Lily, and Anne are all different names for the same girl.

Gotta revise this, forgot about Darla. I’d put her at about 3.5.

Willow! I watch the show just for her. But I certainly wouldn’t say no to Spike or Oz.
