Buffy The Vampire Slayer

And finally we have Illyria. The most mysterious member of the Spike team. Shes the oldest and most powerful but she is also the most inexperienced in terms of understanding her place in the modern world. Shes has no friends, home, or associations. The only person that feels neither fear nor sorry for her is Spike. He treats her as she is, a monster that needs to learn to change. To adopt to the world instead of taking over it. Hes been through that journey and feels more than qualified to teach her. Its an uphill battle, but a challenge has never stopped Spike from trying. In Summary: With Anya, Spike is more Willy, With Faith, he is more Spiky, With Illyria, he is more Worldly...like a big brother. Sort of like past, present, and future. Just as Fred didnt give up on Spike, he does not want to give up on Freds memories which still exists in Illyria.
