History Characters / BuffyverseBuffyTheVampireSlayerDemonsAndMonsters

* KickTheSonOfABitch: How the Scoobies view her throwing Spike out the window. Buffy freely admits that she wouldn't give up the memory of her doing so for anything.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Discussed; the Scoobies don't initially see April as much of a threat, since she's just looking for her boyfriend, and [[KickTheSonOfABitch actually approve of her tossing Spike out the window]]. When Buffy talks with Warren about April to confirm it, that's when it hits her that April ''is'' a threat:

* DropTheHammer: His most powerful weapon is his hammer.

* GracefulLoser: Sportingly concedes defeat simply because he doesn't want to marry Xander.

* KarmaHoudini: Sweet blows into town causing chaos and death, but leaves unharmed and even seems to win in a roundabout way.

-->''"We are everywhere. We are like the ocean's waves. We watch your efforts and are not scared. We will laugh at you as you die."''

->'''Played By:''' Creator/DanielKirschner

* ArtisticLicenceBiology: It's something of an urban myth that Mantises eat the heads of their mates; it's seen in the lab, but not in the wild. She also makes a sound like a cicada, presumably for a more horrifying effect.

* VisualPun: He's a shark demon... and a loan shark. Get it?

* ThisWasHerTrueForm: Lissa partly reverts to her demon form after being killed.

* YearInsideHourOutside: The nature of his demon workhouse.

* NiceGuy: Easily one of the friendliest characters in the series.

%%* RealMenWearPink

* FantasticRacism: Demons are shown to despise humans in a general whole. Some are outright Nazis where others are too polite to discuss it even among each other. There are a number of apocalyptic cults motivated to kill all humans out of religious dogma rather than racial supremacy.

* UnwittingPawn: Is this to D'Hoffryn. Like all vengeance demons, she's just being used by D'Hoffryn to spread misery and suffering as much as possible, and he cares nothing for her. This is definitively proven when [[spoiler:when he kills her just to make Anya suffer, while sneering that there will always be broken young women to replace her]].

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Subjected countless people to this in her many centuries as a vengeance -- sorry, "justice" demon. But what takes the cake is [[spoiler:her ''own'' death. She dies horribly by the hands of her master, who she has been nothing but loyal to, over something that has nothing to do with her. Halfrek never even sees it coming -- she has just enough time to give a cheerful wave to her best friend Anya when D'Hoffryn teleports her in, and then dies screaming]].

* {{Irony}}: Halfrek is a vengeance demon, which are known for granting wishes as maliciously as possible. [[spoiler:She's ultimately killed by a vengeance demon, who was granting another person's wish as maliciously as possible]].

* UnwittingPawn: Is this to D'Hoffryn. Like all vengeance demons, she's just being used by D'Hoffryn to spread misery and suffering as much as possible, and he cares nothing for her. This is definitively proven when [[spoiler:when he kills her just to make Anya suffer, while sneering that their will always be broken young women to replace her]].

** Ironically, this is also [[spoiler:how she dies. Anya wants to sacrifice her own life to bring back the people she killed. D'Hoffryn agrees to trade "a life for a life" -- and then kills ''Halfrek'' right in front of Anya's horrified eyes]].

* AffablyEvil: Acts quite sweet, calls Willow "lemon drop," etc. Genuinely friendly to Anya, and is in fact her only real friend in demon-dom... [[which is why D'Hoffryn murdered her when Anya wanted out of being a vengeance demon]].

* TheConfidant: Becomes this to Anya in season six after she turns back into a vengeance demon. It's Halfrek that tells Anya that vengeance demons can't grant their own wishes, and encourages her to trick one of her friends into wishing something bad on Xander instead.

%%* TechnicolorDeath

Anya's friend and fellow vengeance demon. Her specialty is answering wishes from children to punish bad parents and parental figures--which is bad when Dawn's issues reach boiling point.

* AffablyEvil: Acts quite sweet, calls Willow "lemon drop," etc. Genuinely friendly to Anya, and is in fact her only real friend in demon-dom.

[[folder:Buffybot]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buffy_tumblr_majx366y4n1rcujc9o2_1280.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/SarahMichelleGellar

A SexBot created in Buffy's likeness by Warren at Spike's behest.

* BondOneLiner: She tries throughout "Bargaining," but never gets it quite right.
-->'''Buffybot''': That'll put marzipan on your pie plate, Bingo!
* ChekhovsGunman: It proves useful to the Scoobies in "The Gift" and "Bargaining," being reprogrammed by Willow to perform Slayer duties.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Serves as this in "Bargaining." Dawn curls up in bed next to it as it recharges. Giles finds himself teaching the bot Eastern martial arts philosophy until Anya calls him on it. Averted with Spike who refuses even to look at it, and the Scoobies all agree that it could never replace the real Buffy.
* RetargetedLust: The entire reason Spike had it created; if he couldn't have the real Buffy, he'd have the next best thing.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Not at first, since Spike only intended to use it for sex, but after Willow reprograms and upgrades her, she behaves much more human (though not perfectly). She even seems to experience a moment of genuine shock when she sees the resurrected (real) Buffy just before she's destroyed.
* RobotMe: A robotic duplicate of Buffy.
* SexBot: Its entire purpose is to be this to Spike.
* SpotTheImposter: Despite the Buffybot's strange behavior, the Scoobies completely fail to notice that it's actually a robot, much to the real Buffy's annoyance. Especially jarring, since [[IdiotBall they were able to realize right away that April was a robot]].
* StatOVision: The Buffybot sees like this, with information about Buffy's friends displayed on screen when they're in its line of sight. Having been programmed by Warren to specifications given by Spike however, the information is extremely basic or displays a laughably 2D idea of the characters. For instance, Willow's screen reads: "Best Friend. Gay (1999–Present). Witch. Good with computers." Also displayed on screen are the Buffybot's two primary objectives in life, "Locate Spike" and "Make Spike Happy." The latter has a drop-down menu of files with titles like "kissing" and "position-1" and so on.
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: Justified; Spike [[CombatSadomasochist gets off on fighting the Slayer as much as having sex with her]], so Buffy's strength and combat abilities are part of the package.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: In contrast to her treatment of April, Buffy is repulsed by the existence of the Buffybot and [[ItIsDehumanizing outright refers to it as a "thing" and an "it".]]

[[folder:Razor]]
!!Razor
->'''Played By:''' Creator/FrancRoss

The leader of the Hellions demon biker gang that briefly took over Sunnydale when they discovered that the Slayer was dead.
----

* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep, intimidating voice.

* TokenGoodTeammate: He is the only prominent werecoyte seeking to prevent the resurrection of Spurs Hardaway, their dangeorus former leader, rather than sacrifice people to ensure the resurrection. Admittedly, some EnligthtenedSelfInterest is involved, as Hopscotch secretly killed Spurs in the first place due to his exploitation of the carnival workers, and he doesn't want him seeking revenge.

A tribe of aquatic creatures from another dimension who come to Sunnydale in the novel
''The Wisdom Of War'' along with their ancient enemy, a beast called the Aegir. Buffy spends much of the book trying to figure out if they are a malignant force or not.

* TheLadette: She wears grubby overalls and carries brass knuckles and a truncheon.

* DeaderThanDead: If he is killed with any weapon forged, he can come back to life quite easily. But when Buffy blows him up with a rocket launcher, the Judge is gone for good.
