hazellazer | Buffy Summers Versus Kara Thrace

I've been thinking on this for a little while, beyond the character relationship mapping which I talked about in my Battlestar Slayer post, where I mapped everyone from Buffy and BSG onto each other. I became really fond of all my choices for that looking back. I'm including a brief review of that in this post because I feel like I need to. But I decided to write down the character similarities between Buffy and Kara, as well as some Faith stuff because... well... now I'm wondering what it would be like if we locked Faith and Kara in a room together... o_o

	----------Buffy Summers---------	----------Kara Thrace----------
Missing Father	Hank Summers	Dreilide Thrace
Replacement Father	Rupert Giles	Bill Adama
True love (cockblocked by destiny)	Angel	Lee Adama
You’re on the same side of the fight… sort of. Anyways, being with him is pretty safe emotionally.	Riley Finn	Sam Anders
That creepy guy who is obsessed with you and wants to make you fall in love with him	Spike	Leoben
Surprise!Dependant who isn't actually related to you	Dawn Summers	Kacey Brynn
Prophecy	"Death is your gift"	"You are the harbinger of death"
You're good at what you do	Lived the longest of any slayer	Best viper pilot to ever get in the cockpit
Speaking of death. Returns from the grave?	~Hey, I've died twice~	"One amongst us here, is living proof that there is life after death"

On the other hand Kara shares a few traits with other leading Whedon women

Faith Lehane	Issues with Authority Has a reputation for getting around Abusive mother Also has absent father, replacement father figure (her dad and Mayor Wilkins... but Adama is more Giles than Wilkins) Smoking (though Faith starts smoking at the end of BtVS, whereas Kara stops as the series goes on) Propensity for ending up behind bars Tattooed
Cordelia Chase	Returns from being gone to set everything back on the proper path before ~~poofing~~ ascending to a higher plane of existence.

I'm suddenly reminded of how badly I want AU Faith as a pilot fic. Damn me and my crossover mind. Do I have to write this now?
