   Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 20 Secrets About Her Anatomy   
   BY CHRIS LALONDE   
      
      
   In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the   
   vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer. Well,   
   the original prophecy never anticipated Buffy Summers. As Buffy the Vampire   
   Slayer, Buffy was able to inspire legions of young women to be strong and be   
   themselves. Widely considered a feminist icon, Buffy continues to be a   
   beacon of hope for fans despite being off the air for almost fifteen years.   
      
   For those fans deep in the Buffy-verse, they know all there is to know about   
   The Slayer. However, there are somethings out there that even the Scooby   
   Gang doesn't know. Buffy has faced some of the most fantastical demons and   
   evil that the world has ever seen, but has still managed to maintain some   
   mystery about her.   
      
   Put on your stylish (yet affordable) boots, and take a look at 20 Secrets   
   About Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Anatomy:   
      
      
   20   
      
   SHE IS SPRY FOR A CORPSE   
      
   "Hey, I've died twice." Yes, Buffy Summers has lost her life twice during   
   her time as The Slayer. While heroically defending Sunnydale - and the   
   world - from The Hellmouth, Buffy was taken out by The Master and sacrificed   
   herself to foil Glory's plans. However, she was brought back both times to   
   the land of the living.   
      
   Despite losing her life twice, Buffy doesn't show any signs of it. In fact,   
   she arguably has only become stronger after each brush with death. If   
   someone was new to the Buffy-verse, they would never know about Buffy's   
   previous deaths as her abilities have never been hindered.   
      
      
   19   
      
   DEVELOPED THE POWER TO FLY   
      
   The Buffy-verse on television was great at keeping one foot in the   
   supernatural and another in reality. For every time that Buffy would face a   
   supernatural Big Bad, she would also have to deal with the issues of   
   humanity, such as having a job and paying bills.   
      
   However, the Buffy comic books hardly address reality and keep themselves   
   firmly rooted in the realm of oddities. Over time, Buffy becomes less of a   
   woman striving to balance her humanity with fighting demons, and more of a   
   superhero. In fact, she even developed the ability to fly after being gifted   
   with the magic.   
           Thankfully Joss Whedon never put this in the show!   
      
      
   18   
      
   ATHLETICISM COMES FROM FIGURE SKATING   
      
   Buffy's abilities as The Slayer range from her super-human strength to her   
   incredible agility. While she may appear small in stature, she has   
   unbelievable athleticism which allow her to take on demons who should be   
   able to eat her for breakfast. However, even without her Slayer powers, she   
   has always been incredibly athletic.   
      
   As a young girl, she idolized World Champion figure skater Dorothy Hamill,   
   and was training hard at her own figure skating career. While she may have   
   lost interest as she got older, her training was the foundation for her   
   athleticism later in life.   
      
      
   17   
      
   SCARS FROM THREE DIFFERENT VAMPIRE BITES   
      
   Despite specifically being a vampire slayer, Buffy's interactions with   
   vampires have not always gone in her favor. In fact, vampires have gotten   
   the upper hand on her on several occasions. While these vampires are usually   
   the most skilled of the bunch, Buffy has to live with the scars of losing in   
   battle.   
      
   Three different vampires have tasted her Slayer blood over the years, with   
   only one of them being voluntary. Angel bit her in order to save him from   
   being poisoned, but the other two - The Master and Dracula himself - both   
   bit her against her will. While Buffy ultimately won those battles, she has   
   permanent reminders about her initial losses.   
      
      
   16   
      
   HAD A “HAIRY MOLE”   
      
   Fans of Joss Whedon's 1997 television show do not consider much of his 1992   
   film to be canonical. In fact, most people - including Joss Whedon himself -   
   prefer that the film not be mentioned often. However, if fans were to   
   consider it canon, then there are aspects about Buffy's body which cannot be   
   forgotten.   
      
   In order for a Slayer to be identified, she has a specific birth mark that   
   signifies her strength. In the original film, Buffy eloquently informs us   
   that she had her "hairy mole thing" removed before knowing about her   
   birth-right.   
      
      
   15   
      
   CAN "GET BUSY" FOR HOURS   
      
   Buffy's strength and stamina make her a nightmare for the demons that invade   
   Sunnydale. Anything that comes out of the Hellmouth looking for a fight is   
   going to receive one in spades. There has not been a single Big Bad that   
   Buffy was not able to defeat, and this stems from her strength, agility and   
   stamina during battle.   
      
   However, it is not only the baddies who have dealt with her strength and   
   stamina before. In fact, some men of Sunnydale have witnessed the benefits   
   of her Slayer "abilities" over the years. Buffy's strength serves her well   
   in the bedroom, as she has not been known to tire easily.   
      
      
   14   
      
   HOSPITALS MAKE HER ILL   
      
   Despite being the strongest female force in the world, even Slayers are   
   allowed to be afraid sometimes. Buffy's fear is shared by those who suffer   
   from Nosocomephobia, or the fear of hospitals. When Buffy has to visit a   
   hospital - such as the episode Killed by Death - she becomes frightened, and   
   even more ill as a result.   
      
   Her fear stems from the demon Der Kindestod, who preys on sick children.   
   Buffy witnessed this demon take the life of her cousin when she was sick as   
   a child, which has translated into Buffy's fear of hospitals.   
      
      
   13   
      
   BECAME INVISIBLE   
      
   Some of Buffy's Big Bads have done some awful things to her over the years.   
   Yet, it was the mind-bending nerdiness of The Trio which actually altered   
   her mental and physical state. Through their inventions, they developed the   
   power to make things invisible, which Buffy was accidentally hit with.   
      
   Through the entire episode Gone, Buffy is turned invisible. Without a Slayer   
   to be seen, she takes the opportunity to gallivant around and do things she   
   has always wanted. However, since the invisibility is slowly destroying her,   
   she is eventually turned back to normal.   
      
      
   12   
      
   BODY IS PROTECTED BY MAGIC   
      
   Buffy's interactions with magic over the years have hardly ended up   
   favorably. Despite having powerful witches on her side in Willow and Tara,   
   magical elements rarely end up working out for the Gang. However, as her   
   career moves along magical interactions turn out more in her favor.   
      
   Following Buffy's activation of all the potential Slayers in the world,
