RUPERT GILES

— the watcher. ☕️

FATHER FIGURE — george michael.

The person Buffy trusts most in the world, and the person who makes her feel safest. The impact Giles has had on Buffy's life cannot be understated — particularly early on in their relationship, she had a bleeding, daddy-sized wound in her heart that Giles occupied with relative ease, although not without Buffy screaming and kicking and crying the whole way through. Now, several years into their partnership as Slayer and Watcher, there's no one in the world Buffy would rather have on her team than Giles. While Giles sometimes struggles feeling like an unnecessary additional surplus within the group, Buffy would argue there's no one as irreplaceable as him. When Giles is gone, everything is worse.

In Saltburnt, Giles is her roommate, and they have a very close relationship, which was platonic up until an event dragged them together, intimately. Now, it's tense while they figure out their boundaries — Buffy is disgusted with herself for kink-seeming reasons, but the revelation of Giles as a sexual person is something she's had for a long while, just never poised in her direction. Now? She can admit she's been repressing a lot of feelings she has for him, namely that security is probably the thing most attractive to her, and that no one feels more secure to her than Giles, even if he'll always feel like a father figure first and foremost. While denial and avoidance are key tenants in how Buffy goes about dealing with things, it's undeniable that she cannot live without Giles, so a confrontation will be coming one way or another.

BUFFY GILES-SUMMERS

BRAT

BACKSTORY:

The first born problem child to Giles, the perpetual thorn in daddy's side. She's always been difficult, and only made worse following the death of her mother, Joyce. Rebellious and bratty, Buffy has always been walking the over-sexualized bad girl line and generally falling on the lesser side of things. In an effort to keep her somewhat in line, Buffy was given a bodyguard in the shape of one Riley Finn to keep her protected (see: out of jail) to middling success.

Of the few things that actually make Buffy happy, ice skating ranks in first place. It's why she puts any effort into her schooling, no matter how paltry an attempt, because people who fail don't get to go to the Olympics, and if she doesn't go to the Olympics, what's the point? Her goal in life is the gold, and everything else falls wayside.

This will be Buffy's first time in Saltburnt, and her first time in England, the place of her father's birth. She comes with a presumably clear slate, although it's not hard to see the kind of girl she is — she's not making any changes to her lifestyle despite the possibility of a fresh start. She's a party girl, drugs and alcohol and sex and fighting, addicted to vices because it stops her from thinking about everything else wrong in her life.

RUMORS:

🎀 Rumor has it, when Buffy turned 18 she got a tattoo that reads "DADDY'S GIRL" on her asscheek. Apparently when she showed it to her father, he wouldn't speak to her for a week.

🎀 Buffy once ran away from home, literally, as fast as she could. Her feet were bleeding before she realized she had no idea where she was, or where she was going. She was grounded for a month.

🎀 When asked to senior prom, she prompted the asker, "Beg." He cried. She didn't go.

🎀 There's a camgirl on Myspace with a striking resemblance to Buffy. Her website says — "will do anything for ten dollars."

🎀 During an acid trip, Buffy once claimed she could see the future. When asked what she saw in it later, she simply answered, "Bleak."

IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS:

🎀 RUPERT GILES — father. challenging. loved.
🎀 RILEY FINN — bodyguard. booklicker. hot.
🎀 SPIKE — crush. cute. steppable.
🎀 STEPHEN STRANGE — uncle. reliable.

OTHER NOTES:

🎀 in my mind she was buffy giles up until her mom died, then added the hyphen onto her name in memory of her.

VISUALS:

i'd love to get buffy a couple's skating partner, but if not, some rival skaters would also be really fun. additionally, any party-goers or bad influences would be great — she's a party girl so presumably she'll fall into the same crowd as like minded people.
