A Buffy Anne Summers Biography-Part Three
Written By: Katelyn Abbott
Season Four
A picture of Buffy being disconcerted when she was thrust into the new environment of college life
After the explosive
events of her graduation from Sunnydale High School, Buffy initially experienced
some difficulty adjusting to life as a college freshman at U.C. Sunnydale. She
encountered a group of on-campus vampires and got her arm injured while she was
battling their leader. She ended up coming off as insane to her friends when
she suspected that her overly compulsive roommate Kathy was a demon only to be
proven correct. Her freshman problems of doing her homework, end up studying
for exams, and going to class were made even harder by her Slayer duties and
her separation from Angel. When she shared what she believed to be a night of
emotional intimacy with fellow college student Parker Abrams only weeks after
meeting him in desperation for a relationship, she became depressed when he
neglected to contact her afterward and decided to brush her off.

Biography:
Season One
A picture of Buffy Summers as a child
Buffy Summers was born on January 19th,
1981 to Hank and Joyce Summers in Los Angeles, California. Her parents had been
the ones to feed her, clothe her, and keep a roof over her head. Childhood was
fairly normal for Buffy—she was an only child and her parents were together.
Buffy did fairly well in school and easily made friends. During her childhood
Buffy and her cousin Celia had accepted each other for who they were, cared
about each other, and developed a close friendship with each other and they
enjoyed playing with each other. They would often play superhero together in
which Buffy pretended to be the DC comic hero Power Girl. Shortly after Buffy’s
eighth birthday Celia was sick and taken to the hospital. She was visiting Celia in the hospital one day
when Celia suffered some sort of seizure and then died before Buffy’s eyes.
Though Buffy was unaware that Celia had been murdered in her hospital bed by
Der Kindestod, a demon who killed sick children and was only visible to those
who were ill, the experience instilled Buffy to have a fear of hospitals.

Written By: Katelyn Abbott
A picture of Princess Cassandra of Troy by
Evelyn De Morgan (1898, London); standing in front of the burning city of Troy
at the peak of her insanity
----
Cassandra (also known as Alexandra or
Kassandra and the basic meaning of her name being “she who entangles men”) was
the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba and the twin sister of Helenus and
therefore a princess of Troy. She had brown hair kept in curls, brown eyes, and
fair white skin. Cassandra was considered to be very beautiful, intelligent,
charming, desirable, and elegant with a friendly and gentle nature and she had
much courage and determination in her, but she was deemed to be insane. She was
described as “the second most beautiful woman in the world.” Her beauty ended up even compared to that of
Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty and Helen of Troy.
