Who doesn't want to be Faith? Actually, I have met women who said they didn't, but I think they were fooling themselves.
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.
'War Stories'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Who doesn't want to be Faith?
Well, it would be cool to have that "I don't give a shit" attitude that Faith has - but I wouldn't want all her self-hatred. One of the scenes that always makes me tear up is the one in "Who Are You?" when she's beating Buffy (herself) and yelling "you're nothing." Man, that's upsetting.
Maybe to be Faith after she went to prison and liked herself a lot more.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'll take Faith's body and her mad skills but I'd rather have Xander's personality.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I never wanted to be Faith. She never seemed happy.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'd rather have Xander's personality.
By season seven, sure. NSM season one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's no one on Buffy I'd really totally like to have been. Maybe Spike, for a while. But not for long.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I ided with Buffy in the last few season -- It was Willow or xander in earlier seasons. And always, part of me was Giles.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
A bet a lot more women would like to be Emma Peel than Faith. Well allowing for the number who have not heard of Emma Peel. Also for those who go for "vulnerable badass" I suspect a fair number would like to be Aeryn Sun. Omitting the preganancies and freezing and stuff. Also Zoe in Firefly perhaps?

(Of course, Zoe, widowhood notwithstanding)

Given all the broken stuff in this house, I wish I were Kaylee.
