[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 355951, member: 1213"] How is it that everyone here lists Buffy as NG or CG. She the only LG character on that show, and thats often significant. She follows an almost Paladin-like code in which she refuses to break the law in any major way for the greater good (although Faith got her to steal once), leaves everything possible to the appropriate authorities (although she did not recognize the jurisdiction of the Initiative, but it turned out that they were extremely corrupt), including being unwilling to harm humans except in self-defense. She also generally favors mercy over vengeance, and refuses to use her powers for selfish reasons. In the S5 finale, after she defeats Glory and Glory retreats back into Ben, Buffy does not kill him. Rather, Giles approaches saying "Buffy can't kill you. She's a hero. She is not like you and I." and proceeds to kill him. While I'm at it, the alignments of other characters: CG: Willow, Dawn, Potentially S7 Spike NG: Xander, Giles (CG in his youth, tempered by Watcherness and experience), Angel, Oz LN: Anya, Hallie, De'Hoffryn, the second Sunnydale High principal N: Original Cordelia CN: Post-Chip Infatuated with Buffy Spike LE: Maggie, The Mayor CE: Original Spike, Angelus, Adam, Glory, Most Vamps and Demons, Oz and Veruca in wolf form [/QUOTE]
