I'm not convinced about Jenny Calendar in the Buffy example. Angelus killed her because she was going to re-curse him (turn him good again), so it's relevant to the plot.

I think that's what makes her a Sacrificial Lion instead of a Sacrificial Lamb. Lions can be plot relevant (I assume, from the description saying that Lambs cannot be). Lambs are just likeable but not plot-relevant.

I feel like the two (being plot relevant and being a Sacrificial Lion) aren't mutually exclusive, so long as the Lion is still used to create an air of Anyone Can Die.
