Basic Info| Name: | The Buffybot |
|---|
Bio| The Buffybot | OOC Information |
| The Buffybot is a character who appears in the fifth and sixth seasons. It is an identical robot replica of the real Buffy Summers, and as such, also played by Sarah Michelle Gellar. Though a perfect physical likeness of Buffy, the Buffybot's mannerisms and speech patterns are usually stilted and imperfect by human standards. It also lacks understanding of nuance and tact, and can be disconcertingly blunt in conversation. The Buffybot first appears in the episode "Intervention", having been created by Warren Mears as a sex toy for the vampire Spike, who is obsessed with Buffy. Therefore, the Buffybot is initially programmed to be in love with Spike and do anything to please him. Buffy's friends mistake the robot for her, and Buffy later poses as the Buffybot to find out whether Spike betrayed her and Dawn to the hellgod Glory, presenting him with a kiss when she discovers the lengths he went to protect them. In the fifth-season finale, "The Gift", Xander and Anya find the deactivated Buffybot in the basement of The Magic Box. The group decide to use it to make the first strike and distract Glory from the real Buffy. After a few minutes of battle, the Bot is decapitated by Glory and the real Buffy then reveals herself. In the first two episodes of the sixth season, following Buffy's death, the Buffybot is used for patrolling to ensure the underworld does not discover the Slayer's death; if demons think Buffy is alive, they are less likely to strike, out of fear. Its impersonation also ensures that Dawn, lacking a legal guardian in Sunnydale with both Buffy and their mother dead, can stay in town with the Scooby Gang and allows the group to live and operate out of the Summers home. Unfortunately, one vampire discovers the secret when fighting with it and brings a demon biker gang to Sunnydale to tear the place apart. The demons destroy the Buffybot by tearing it limb from limb, pulling it apart with motorcycles. Before "dying," the Buffybot reveals to Dawn that the real Buffy has returned from the dead. The Buffybot has been reactivated following the events of Season Seven to act as a Buffy decoy and fight alongside the new stream of Slayers. The Season Eight comic will be incorporated. |
It should go without saying that I am not Sarah Michelle Gellar. Life is unfair that way. Nor am I Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy. I don't hold copyright for the Buffybot or anything else in the Buffyverse. It all belongs to Joss, Mutant Enemy and other people who aren't me. Screencaps were found at Screencap Paradise. Icons were made by me unless otherwise stated. If you wish to contact me for any reason, just ping me a LJ PM. :) Buffybot information has been yoinked from Wikipedia. The status of the Buffybot post Season Six/Seven has been added by myself as the Buffybot deserves some love. The Bot's programming has been tinkered with so she no longer refers to Dawn as her sister but as the actual Buffy's. Though she still refers to Buffy as 'the other Buffy' and the Scoobies as her friends. Traces of her Spike sexbot programming still linger somewhere. She is fully aware she is a robot. One that enjoys making waffles and other breakfast related foods. But her puns are still a little off. Give a Bot a break. |
