* ResignedToTheCall: In "Fool for Love," Spike argues this trope is what truly kills them; the Slayers may start out fighting for survival, then fight to protect other people, but eventually they accept their destiny (and the extremely short life-span involved) and become {{Death Seeker}}s. Once that happens, it's only a matter of time until some vampire or demon gets in a lucky shot.

It takes Buffy making it ''abundantly'' clear that she has the actual power in the relationship to make them quit getting in her way.

* WeHaveReserves: Their attitude towards the Slayer. This is best shown with the Cruciamentum, a test every Slayer faces come their 18th birthday which involves them being BroughtDownToNormal and facing a particularly dangerous vampire to see if they can defeat them using their [[GuileHero wits]]. In fact, it's eventually revealed earlier that the Council prefers to lose Slayers at a relatively young age, as Slayers get more powerful the longer they are active, and they prefer young and naïve girls they can control, rather than strong and independent Slayers that may strain against their authority; in "Checkpoint," Buffy does exactly that once she realizes that the Council needs her more than she needs them, and thus, she can make them make them answer to her rather than the other way around.

* BigGood: The closest thing the series has to one, for better or worse. For all their flaws, the Watcher's Council are a force for good in the world and he is treated as their face and highest authority; the critical guidance Buffy received from Giles would never have occurred without the council. He steps up in the seventh season to rally the council against the most threatening BigBad in the series... and, if you've read to here, probably know how that turns out...

The fact that this "perfect Slayer" ends up dead and forgotten [[WeHardlyKnewYe in record time]] while Buffy goes on to be one of the greatest Slayers in history says a lot.

* CastFromCalories: Hinted at on occasion. Faith casually admits that slaying always makes her "hungry and [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence horny]]", and Dawn remarks at one point that Buffy is "such a pig after killing things," often going to the fridge first thing after patrolling. Writer Douglas Petrie at one point planned for a scene where Buffy [[BigEater ate a lunch that contained three times the normal amount of food]].

* PetTheDog: A mild one, but after Buffy gives her "I have the power" speech, underlining that the Watchers exist to serve the Slayer, rather than the Slayer existing to serve the Council, because without the Slayer the Council has no meaning, he gives up the information that Buffy was looking for about Glory without complaint and reinstates Giles at her request.
