	According to Whedon, Buffy "had been brewing in [him] for many years" before finally appearing in the ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' film played by Kristy Swanson. However, he was not satisfied with the character's treatment in the film, feeling "that's not quite her. It's a start, but it's not quite the girl." Although Whedon's vision of female empowerment was not as apparent as he would have liked in the 1992 film, he was given a second chance when [[Gail Berman]] approached him with the idea of re-creating it as a television series. Adapting the concept of the movie into a television series, Whedon decided to reinvent the character of Buffy slightly. The shallow cheerleader of the original film had grown more mature and open-minded, identifying with social outcasts such as Willow and Xander, and instead, the character of Cordelia was created to embody what Buffy once was. Early in the television series, make-up supervisor Todd McIntosh was instructed to make Buffy "a soft and sort of earthy character." He gave Gellar a soft, muted green make-up and kept her look very natural. However, it was later decided this was inappropriate for the character, and Buffy needed to look more like a [[Valley Girl\|valley girl]]. McIntosh switched her make-up around, giving her frosted eyeshadow and lip colors, bright turquoise and aqua marines, bubblegum colored nails, and bleach-blonde hair, causing the character to "blossom."

	==Concept and creation==		==Concept and creation==
		+	The character of Buffy was conceived by Joss Whedon as a way of subverting the cliché of "the little blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed in every [[Horror Film\|horror film]]". Whedon stated "Rhonda the Immortal Waitress" was the first incarnation of Buffy in his head, "the idea of a seemingly insignificant female who in fact turns out to be extraordinary." When asked how he came up with the name of "Buffy," Whedon states "It was the name that I could think of that I could take the least seriously. There is no way you could hear the name Buffy and think, "This is an important person. To juxtapose that with Vampire Slayer, just felt like that kind of thing—a [[B Movie\|B movie]]. But a B movie that had something more going on. That was my dream." Whedon claims the title was criticized for being too silly, and the television network begged him to change it. He refused, insisting "You don't understand. It has to be this. This is what it is." Jason Middleton feels that Buffy avoids the "[[Final Girl\|final girl]]" character trope seen in horror films, where the androgynous and celibate heroine gets to outlive her friends and exact revenge on their killer; in Middleton's words, "she... gets to have sex with boys and ''still'' kill the monster".
		+
		+	Whedon always intended for the character to become an icon, claiming "I wanted her to be a hero that existed in people's minds the way [[Wonder Woman]] or [[Spider-Man]] does, you know? I wanted her to be a doll or an action figure. I wanted [[Barbie]] with Kung Fu grip! I wanted her to enter the mass consciousness and the imaginations of growing kids because I think she's a cool character, and that was always the plan. I wanted Buffy to be a cultural phenomenon, period." In developing Buffy, Whedon was greatly inspired by [[Kitty Pryde]], a character from the pages of the [[Superhero\|superhero]] comic ''[[X-Men]]''. He admits, "If there's a bigger influence on Buffy than Kitty, I don't know what it was... She was an adolescent girl finding out she has great power and dealing with it." In a 2009 interview, Whedon revealed he only recently realised how much he saw of himself in Buffy. After years of relating more to Xander, he says, "Buffy was always the person that I was in that story because I'm not in every way." Whedon openly wonders why his identification figure is a woman, but describes it as "a real autobiographical kind of therapy for me" to be writing a strong female character like Buffy.
		+
		+	According to Whedon, Buffy "had been brewing in [him] for many years" before finally appearing in the ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' film played by Kristy Swanson. However, he was not satisfied with the character's treatment in the film, feeling "that's not quite her. It's a start, but it's not quite the girl."

		+	[[File:longwaycover01.jpg\|thumb\|left\|upright\|Buffy appears in literature such as the ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight'' comic book series and various spin-offs. Art by [[Jo Chen]].]]
		+	As the main character of the franchise, Buffy appears in almost all ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' literature. This includes a [[Dark Horse Comics\|Dark Horse]] [[Ongoing Series\|ongoing]] [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Comic Books)\|comic book]] and a [[Buffy novels\|series of novels]]. Buffy's debut into literature came in the comic ''Dark Horse Presents 1998 Annual'' on August 26, 1998, while her first prose appearance was in ''[[Halloween Rain]]'' by [[Christopher Golden]] and [[Nancy Holder]] on October 5, 1998. Most of these stories occur between episodes and seasons of the television series, however, some are set outside the timeline of the show to explore in depth other areas of Buffy's history. Christopher Golden adapted the film into a comic entitled "The Origin" (1999) which more closely resembles Joss Whedon's original script. In 2003, [[Scott Lobdell]] and [[Fabian Nicieza]] wrote a [[Year One]]-style run on the ''Buffy'' comic book series which filled the gap between the film and the first season of the show. These stories explain how Buffy's relationship with Pike ended, as well as fleshing out events alluded to in the television series, such as the time she spent in a mental institution and her parents' divorce. The novel ''[[Queen of the Slayers]]'' (2005) by Nancy Holder offers a potential follow-up to the television series; set after season seven, it depicts Buffy living in [[Italy]] with the morally ambiguous Immortal.
		+
		+	Buffy also makes appearances in literature outside of her own titular series. In the ''[[Tales of the Slayers (Comic Books)\|tales of the Slayers]]'' comic [[One-Shot (Comics)\|one-shot]] "Broken Bottle of Djinn" (2002) by [[Doug Petrie]] and [[Jane Espenson]], Buffy battles a spirit in Sunnydale High, while the ''[[Tales of the Vampires (Comic Books)\|Tales of the Vampires]]'' comic book story "Antique" (2004) by [[Drew Goddard]] sees her breaking into Dracula's castle to rescue Xander from the infamous vampire. Volume II of the similar series of novels ''[[Tales of the Slayer]]'' (2003) features two stories about Buffy; the character battles a mummified spirit in Todd A. McIntosh's "All That You Do Comes Back Unto Thee," while Jane Espenson's "Again Sunnydale" sees a season six-era Buffy sent back in time to high school, when her mother is still alive but Dawn does not exist.
		+
		+	In 2007, Buffy's story was continued when Joss Whedon resurrected ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' as a comic book. These comics differ from previous ''Buffy'' literature in that they are the official continuation of the television series and are considered canon. In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight (Comic Book)\|Season Eight]]'' (2007–11), it establishes Buffy is not living with the Immortal in Rome which is simply a cover story to ensure her safety as she is now the leader of a global organization which recruits and trains Slayers to deal with demonic threats worldwide. However, a mysterious group led by the masked villain 'Twilight' believe the Slayers themselves are the danger, should they begin to consider themselves superior to mankind. In the story "[[Wolves at the Gate (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic Book)\|Wolves at the Gate]]", Buffy shares a sexual encounter with fellow Slayer [[List of Minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer Characters#Satsu\|Satsu]]; however Satsu leaves soon after because she realizes Buffy cannot return her feelings. Earlier in the series, the audience glimpsed Buffy's most personal sexual fantasy in her dreamspace: a threesome with Angel and Spike. The series' final two arcs are in some sense are about Buffy's relationships with Angel and Spike. In "[[Twilight (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic Books)\|Twilight]]", Buffy mysteriously obtains super powers and discovers that Twilight is in fact Angel. Despite his actions, Buffy succumbs to her passions and engages in an act of passionate airborne sex with Angel, only having them return on waking up in a paradise dimension which will replace the existing universe. In spite of the lure of eternal happiness together in this new dimension, the two return to Earth to assist their friends against extra-dimensional demons, when Spike arrives. In "[[Last Gleaming (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic Books\|Last Gleaming]]", Spike's information leads them to source both of magic and of Twilight's power, a mystical "seed" buried beneath Sunnydale. Giles plans to destroy it, but Twilight possesses Angel and snaps his neck. Distraught, Buffy smashes the seed herself. Twilight is stopped but magic is also removed from the universe. Though Slayers and vampires retain their powers, witches for example are left entirely powerless. A pariah in the community of Slayers and former witches, Buffy moves to San Francisco where she lives with her sister and Xander, and resumes her former duties as Slayer: patrolling at night for vampires.
		+
		+	In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine (Comic Book)\|Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine]]'', Buffy adjusts to the new status quo of a world without magic. For example, as a consequence of demons no longer being able to enter their dimension and fully possess human bodies, newly-sired vampires are feral and mindless creatures, which Xander dubs "zompires". Various other problems are also caused by the Seed's absence, including a new antagonist named Severin who works with the rogue slayer Simone Doffler and has the power to drain others of their mystical energy. In the story arc "Apart (of Me)", Buffy mistakenly believes that she is pregnant and makes the difficult decision to have an abortion. Spike also leaves San Francisco after it becomes difficult for him to be around Buffy anymore. After a shared dream with Buffy relating to the original Slayer and the scythe, Willow leaves town as well on a mission to restore her abilities.
