The new slayer

[cyclica]

If buffy and faith had been killed before the 'make-all-potentials-into-slayers' spell in chosen had been cast, one of the potentials would have been made into a slayer, and had the responsibility of saving the world from the first. Not to mention standing alone against the vampires, demons and forces of darkness.

So, leaving aside the issue of who was the most entertaining (or annoying) to the audience, which of the potentials would have made the best slayer?

[partcynic]

I'd say Kennedy. She's the oldest of them, has had the proper Slayer training (similar to how Kendra was taught before she was activated), is able to use some different weapons, and would have no problem bossing everyone around.

I hate to admit it, but you may be right. The extra training she's recieved would be a big point in her favour. But she seems a little too sure of herself, and I dunno if bossyness is really an essential requirement, at least for an old sschool slayer. For a new 'army leader' kind of slayer bossyness is great.

I thought Amanda might make a better slayer though, she is resourceful and has proven capable of taking on a vampire by herself, and shown self sacrifice.

So in conclusion, I'm undecided.
