About This Quiz
Joss Whedon's famous show inspired several generations of viewers as they followed the hazards of Buffy Summers. While staking vamps and fighting demons frequently put a damper on her social life, this intrepid teenager flourished under the pressure of saving the world, especially when the people she loved had their lives at stake. Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, was a role model for young women everywhere, showing that even a demon hunter can have it all with enough bravery and spunk.
Buffy started out as a spunky cheerleader, the ideal teenaged girl, but becoming the Chosen One thrust this blonde, mini-skirt wearing female into a dark life of quirky banter and sharpening stakes. And as she transformed into the Slayer, Buffy grew into a strong, fierce woman who didn't even let death stop her from achieving her goals.
While we know you still adore Buffy, how much do you actually remember of the show? Between her struggle to find herself and the lives of her devoted friends, the tales of the Slayer rival the depths of the Hellmouth in their challenging details. Only die-hard fans will remember every answer to our rigorous quiz. Face the challenge head on, and see if you can make the Chosen One proud!
