* AdaptationalJerkass: Not like she was a saint in the TV series, but at the least she did show genuine affection to Spike when they were first introduced. Here, she treats him little more than an elite toady.

* DomesticAbuse: She's pretty openly awful to Spike, frequently insulting him and pointedly using his original name "William" when it's clear he prefers his nickname. [[spoiler: She stabs him in order to open the hellmouth, as it required the "blood of the loyal" to open, and holds no remorse for doing so.]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: His relationship with Drusilla is very different. While he's still quite devoted to her and they're still a couple in the beginning, he is no longer fulfilling the role of a caretaker to a fully-lucid and healthy Dru. [[spoiler: He additionally is the one who ends up leaving ''her'', having viewed her using his "loyal" blood to open the hellmouth as a betrayal.]]

* HurtingHero: Via the narration from his blog, we find out that Xander has trouble feeling any kind of happiness. It's more than hinted that he's struggling with [[UsefulNotes/{{Depression}} some kind of depression]] but that he hides it from the world.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: In her human form. She's got tan skin but her ethnicity isn't clear.

* AgeLift: Played With. While he is still a centuries-old vampire, it is explicitly stated that he was turned at (and therefore, frozen at) the age of 18, while in the original continuity he was turned at the age of 26. This change was possibly made to get rid of the UnfortunateImplications of him potentially starting a relationship with the teenaged Buffy in this continuity.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: She's much kinder from the get-go, seeing her relationship with Willow as more of a friendly rivalry and going out of her way to befriend Buffy and even Spike. She's also no longer a Rich Bitch, as she's seen holding down a part-time job in a fast-food chain restaurant.

* CharacterBlog: Not on the Internet, but in the comic; her blog posts are posted at the beginning of each issue to function as a sort of "previously on." Since these blog posts recap the events of the previous comic from Cordelia's point of view, and she's not in on most of the secret plots, the blog posts contain a lot of misunderstandings about what's actually going on.

* CompositeCharacter: In a strange way, with Angel. Even though Angel is still very much around here, he's much more removed from Buffy and generally has his own thing going for the most part... so Xander seems to have taken up part of his role in Buffy's life. Not the romantic part of it, but after being half-sired by Dru and being stuck between vampire and human, he takes on the "vampiric ally with a soul" role. [[spoiler:The parallels get extra blatant after his HeroicSacrifice turned out not to stick; now a soulless and villainous vampire he takes on Angelus's role as the villain with a personal connection to Buffy. He even goes after Jenny Calendar, just like Angelus did in the original continuity.]]

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: He's more even-tempered and less of an AngryBlackMan. He's still introduced as a man who goes out fighting demons as way of revenge, but here he does so while livestreaming messages of hope and positivity to a surprisingly appreciative audience.

* AngryBlackMan: To a much lesser extent than his original counterpart, but he's ''far'' from mellow.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the original series, he didn't appear until the final season of the show. Here he appears early on as the track team leader at Sunnydale.

* NobleTopEnforcer: While originally her NumberTwo, he's much less evil than Drusilla, as he ends up growing pretty regretful upon seeing the effect opening the seal has on the world. [[spoiler: He actually ends up leaving Drusilla because he views her using his blood to open the seal as a betrayal on her part, and helps out Angel's group in LA while Angel wasn't around.]]

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the show he was introduced as a normal highschooler without many hangups, before he became a werewolf. Here, he's already a werewolf and homeless in LA.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's probably dyed, but she sports an undercut hairdo (shaved on one side, long on the other) that's dark purple in color.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: With the Watcher's Council, and with Kendra, of all people. In the original series, he had nothing to do with either of them; he knew about vampires and Slayers because his mother was a Slayer, but he wasn't officially aligned with the Council. Here, he's closely tied to them, and even ends up as Kendra's Watcher -- despite actually being younger than she.
