Buffy The Vampire Slayer

3. April, Buffy The Vampire Slayer

AprilMidway through season five of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (in the episode “I Was Made To Love You), a mysterious girl shows up in Sunnydale, asking if anyone has seen Warren, her true love. If anyone gets in her way, as one lucky chap does at The Bronze music club, they receive a wallopin’. And wouldn’t you know it, April just won’t give up, going door-to-door all hours of the night. Turns out her monotonal speech pattern and inhuman strength were hints that she’s a robot, which Warren built to love him unconditionally, but Warren has moved on and found a flesh-and-bone girl to love, and April is pissed. Aside from all the beatings, April interacts with the Scooby gang through graceless, socially awkward conversations, of which there are many: “I love Warren”; “Warren is my true love”; “Warren Warren Warren.” It’s enough to make viewers unjustly hate all Warrens.
