"Buffy" - Sarah Michelle Gellar
"Buffy Summers" was born in 1981 to now divoriced Joyce and Hank Summers. Buffy attended Hemery High School is Los Angeles where she grew up, and it was there that she learned her destiny. It was her former watcher, Merrick, who told her she was the Slayer. After her parent's divorce, Buffy and her mother moved to Sunnydale and Buffy enrolled as a sphomore at Sunnydale High School.
Buffy has increased strength, stamina, and agility since she is the Slayer. She is also a skilled ice skater, has prophetic dreams, and should be able to sense vampires. Her only known successful relationship was with Angel, but that ended badly, too. ("Surprise/Innocence")
Buffy has killed the master, prevented Hell from opening onto Earth.....and Spike and Dru???? Buffy made a deal with Spike to leave Sunnydale, but he just couldn't stay away.
"Angelus" - David Boreanaz
Angelus was born in the early 1700's in Ireland. On one drunken occassion, Angelus met Darla, who turned him into a vampire. In 1860 in England, he turned a young girl named Drusilla into a vampire, but not before killing her family and driving her insane. It was in Romania in 1898 that Angelus killed the favorite daughter of a Romany tribe, thereafter being cursed by the tribe's elders. They restored his soul to him (vampires ARE soul-less), forcing him to live in constant pain as a reminder of the terrible acts he had done without a soul. He shortened his name to Angel, and lived on the streets of New York untilthe 1990s when a demon named Whistler found him. Whistler took Angel to Sunndale to help the new Slayer, Buffy. He proved to be incredibly useful in the battle against the Hellmouth. However, the curse was lifted and Angel reverted back to his old self, creating havoc for Buffy and her friends until Willow re-cast the spell. However, Buffy had to send him to Hell to prevent a vortex from opening and sucking the world inside it. In season three, Angel does return to Earth as his souled-self. He and Buffy are in the midst of working out their problems.
