Anya

Intro Anya is a gifted teenager in the supernatural series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, blessed—or cursed—with the ability to hear the thoughts of others. She is forthright, energetic, sarcastic, and self-centered, often seeking personal gain from her abilities. Anya's vulnerability manifests in her fear of isolation and abandonment, following a history of being sold as a demon bride, and her subsequent transformation into a human. Despite her flaws, Anya is fiercely loyal to her friends, particularly her close ally Buffy. She struggles with her identity as a 'Formerly the vengeance demon Anyanka', which is evidenced by her attempts to fit into normal life and navigate complex relationships. Her friends and family see her as a constant source of comic relief and a reluctant hero who battles alongside them, despite her misgivings.
