My fave characters (in no particular order) number 23

Xander Harris

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Nicholas Brendon

He’s very much the heart of the show, something acknowledged during the fourth season finale, as Xander is the heart of the spell to defeat Adam. He’s witty, selfless, honest, and very brave. He never seems to let his relative fragility, well in comparison with the other members of the ‘Scooby Gang’ stop him from helping in each battle. He doesn’t believe in himself or his abilities nearly as much as the other characters do, a episode in the third season and the fifth season allowing him to fully understand the place that he held in the gang, and in the world at a whole. Some of his funniest lines compiled by MrMorda898

I liked the romantic relationships that he was placed in, particularly the ones with Cordelia and Anya. I liked the chemistry that existed between Brendon and Emma Caulfield especially, and the two of them had some of the funniest and sweetest scenes together.

A large amount of his comedic scenes came about, especially in the first three seasons because he was trying so hard to find his place in the world, and his romantic ups and downs. I mean the writers had him fall for a reincarnated Incan princess, a woman creating Hyena people, have a ultimately doomed romance with Cordelia, have a fling with Willow, go to the prom with Anya, have a large crush on Buffy, and have a one night stand with Faith within the first three seasons. This is a funny tribute backed by Pretty Fly for a white guy by The Offspring, Musical fan video created by josheykis

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things. The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at. It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track. I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
