They're the Scoobies.
They're the Scooby gang.
They go off on their adventures.
They share in the secrets that is, you know, that there's vampires and demons and all this sort of stuff.
OK, so Buffy is the protagonist.
She's the hero.
She is the slayer.
She has the burden and responsibility.
Then you've got Willow, who is her really so sweet, nerdy, wallflower best friend.
Absolutely.
And she's apologizing for existing.
The wonderful thing is all of the characters go on the most tremendous character arcs through the seven seasons.
Willow goes from being this complete, just the shyest little thing in the world to becoming the greatest threat to the world.
Yeah.
When she turns into Dark Willow, she almost destroys the world.
She has this unbelievable like witchcraft power within her.
Xander is a goofy friend who is tripping over himself, but means well and is kind of the heart of the group.
Basically, yeah.
Xander is, I think, the character that ages less well when you're re-watching through the 2026.
There's like a thing in my show where I ask the audience, you know, Xander, is he an incel or is he just a 16-year-old boy?
