I hadn't realised as I typed those words how true they really are ... she was so fragile, wasn't she? I would love to see the result you come up with.

That's one reason why I don't like how Giles' story developed ... he was her father, yet betrayed her, firstly at her 18th, but then when she lost her mum, to tell her to kill her sister ... and so the relationship spiraled.

Dead Man's Party is certainly one of my least favourites, as well. That's another reason why I find that beginning to season 6 hard ... she is brought out of her peace, to be handed a teenaged sister, and a pile of bills ... and then her father goes away (for her own good ... Angel !!!) ... etc, etc.

One fragile girl, who had to save the world, her friends and her sister on a daily basis.
