The girls of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Part 1

Buffy: 
Well, what to say of the superhero herself?
The interesting thing in the series, is that we are allowed to follow Buffy trough many different stages of her life, from young girl, to adult woman, and we get to see her develop as a character.
We also get to see that Buffy always takes a lot of responsibility, even at young age, as she knows she has to fight the demons, but still, she has to go to school, and interact with her friends and family.
The thing that annoys me with Buffy is that she is always too perfect. She manages to pull off everything she does, even if it's not always perfect. She can have a working relationship with boyfriends, family and friends, get okay grades in school, AND be out all night slaying demons. I think that is a bit to good to be true to be honest. Even if she is the slayer and has superpowers and everything, it is a bit to much, to perfect.

Willow:
The same is here. It's interesting to see how the character evolves during the show. Willow on the other hand is more interesting, because she does not pull off doing everything. She seems more "normal" than Buffy.
I like how we also can see how she is able to make mistakes in another way than Buffy (for example, cheating on Oz with Xander, I doubt we'd ever see Buffy do such an unmoral thing).
I think more women can relate to Willow rather than to Buffy.
If Buffy have the wits, the Willow has the charm, and I also like Willows language a lot more than Buffy, even if Buffy always have the great puns, Willow are playing with language in a different way that makes her funny.
