Buffy has never been handed anything for free. Bits and pieces of her memory may float hectically inside of her, but she is sure of this much. Everything she has earned has been earned with blood- though at times, not her own. What she has always shed are sweat and tears, and yet benevolence is carried with the delicate weight of a tiara upon her broad head. Buffy is a giver and a lover, ultimately, to those who she believes have earned her respect, care, and loyalty. Though she is kind to those who do not cross her, trust is not easily handed out by her at all. Buffy holds herself in high regard, even if it is kept inwardly, and thus she guards her character from just anyone having access. She is dependable regardless, a pedestal of spiritual strength welded in iron but wrought with gold. She's well-versed in resourcefulness and using any environment to her advantage. Buffy can often come up with strategies by the by and execute them with ease- though she will say it was with much practice that she was able to manage as such.
