Buffy The Vampire Slayer

US, June 12, 2008 - Obscure Character of the Day takes a trip to Sunnydale, and swings by Buffy’s dorm for our latest character too minor to be A-list, and too memorable to full ignore. Kathy, Buffy’s Cher-loving, perky-speaking, demon-face wearing roommate is our OCD from hell. Literally.

Buff suspected her roomie was of the horned and fanged variety from minute one, as would any person if they lived with someone who hung Celine posters on their walls willingly and/or labeled their food stuffs. All of them. Oh, and did me mention the unhealthy love for Cher? Demon bitch, indeed.

Not sure what’s going here exactly, but we can’t blame Buffy for wanting to kill it. Kathy ran away from her demon homestead, dawned a skin suit and registered for classes at SU. But her freshman year was immediately curtailed when Buffy smelled something rotten near the Hellmouth; we suspect the constant spin of Cher’s "Believe" as the cause.

IGN recently raided Kathy’s personal stuffs, after Buffy sent her back to whatever hell she came from. We dug up a note to her mom, which sheds a little light on just how demonic this chick really was.

Dear Mom,

Hey! So I just got to my new college and it so rules! It’s way better than that Cal State Brimstone or whatever it was called that you wanted me to go to. Look, I know it’s a prestigious place for demons, but come on...so not my style.

I’m not going to tell you where I am, because then you’d just come and try to drag me back, but let me just say that it is way fun. There’s really neat people (don’t give me crap for hanging with humans – I heard about you and Dad partying in ancient Greece back in the day), a cool bar, and I still get to see plenty of familiar faces, because geez, let me tell you – this place is, like, packed with demons a’plenty!

And wow, let me tell you...These humans have some awesome music. There is this one lady they call Cher, and her music sounds just like that time you took me to see that concert by Lord Gasalordan and his Minions – remember, where they used human entrails to make that cool bass sound? It’s that good! This one song, "Believe" is just… Wow. I can’t explain. All I know is my roommate Buffy is going to ab-so-lute-ly love it.

Buffy is a really great girl. Filled with energy and often smelling like she’s been around demons, especially those vampires – I’ll have to ask her about that some time.

You’ll be happy to know I’ve been keeping as neat and clean as ever. In fact, I came across this super messy girl who had littered all over the quad recently and I totally killed her, so see, I am not slacking at all!

Anyhoo, gotta go – My toenails need cutting something fierce, plus Buffy’s gonna be back soon. I’m gonna crank up some Cher for her. It’s gonna rock! I can tell Buffy and I are gonna be BFF, so I’m gonna get us Cher tickets next time she tours!

Love, your darling demon daughter, Kathy
