First Appearance: "The Wish"Best Line: TIE between "Yes, we've enjoyed spanking" and "I like you. You're funny, and you're nicely shaped. And frankly, it's ludicrous to have these interlocking bodies and not... interlock. Please remove your clothing now."
There's something about Anya: Crass, rude and a little too open about her sexual desires, this ex-demon has still managed to charm the pants off Xander (literally and figuratively)
Not her favorite subject: Math, as she told D'Hoffryn she was flunking
Some of her favorite things: Black condoms, Xander digging, evil magic on scum-sucking men, sex, ritual sacrifice, being a girlfriend, pie, popcorn, slide shows featuring bloody massacres, fruit roll ups, Prada
Funniest moment: Signaling to Xander that she wanted to go home and get some lovin' in "Hush"
Not so perfect: Anya snores, as referenced by Giles
Anya is an interesting girl, to say the least. Except she's not really a girl, and is more scary than interesting. The one thing that I really love about Anya is her willingness to say whatever comes to mind, regardless of how inappropriate it might be. Example, to Xander in front of Giles and Spike, "All you care about is orgasms." And while she doesn't have tact, she does have an immense amount of wisdom. The wisdom comes from her ability to see people for what they are: really fucking stupid sometimes. She points things out that other people don't realize, and says things that need to be said. But deep down, she's a big softie, at least where Xander is concerned. I have enjoyed watching the relationship between Xander and Anya develop. One thing's for sure, they are never boring. They seem to get along really well, and he's willing to help her be more like a person. Hopefully, he won't be too successful, because Anya's infinite charm exists based on the fact that she really doesn't seem to get people. I guess being a demon for some 1100 years will do that to you.
