The New Girl
We meet Buffy Summers. She's not your typical high school student. She's got a secret... a very sharp, stake-shaped secret.
Must Read
Buffy's the Slayer, chosen to fight vampires and other creatures of the night. She's moved to Sunnydale for a fresh start, but destiny has other plans.
Starting over is hard, especially when your new school is basically a buffet for bloodsuckers.
A Creepy Introduction
The episode doesn't waste any time establishing the creepy vibe. There are missing kids. And unsettling whispers about something lurking in the shadows. This is Sunnydale, after all.
Plus, we get our first glimpse of the Master, an ancient and seriously scary vampire. He's trapped beneath the town. But he is scheming his way out.
Talk about a bad neighbor!
Enter the Scooby Gang
Buffy isn't alone in this fight. We also meet some key players that we love so much. These are the original members of the Scooby Gang.
There's Willow Rosenberg, the shy and brilliant computer whiz. And Xander Harris, the lovable goofball who's always there for his friends.
They quickly become Buffy's allies. Teamwork makes the dream work, especially when you're battling the forces of darkness.
Giles to the Rescue!
Don't forget about Rupert Giles! He is Buffy’s Watcher. He's basically her mentor and librarian... with a surprisingly extensive knowledge of the occult.
Giles is there to guide Buffy, providing her with knowledge, training, and plenty of dusty old books. Every slayer needs a good librarian on their side!
He might be a bit stuffy. But he is vital to Buffy’s success.
