Day 5: Least Favorite Female Character

At risk of being hated by many people, I must admit that my least favorite female character on Buffy is Faith. I can appreciate her character arc, particularly from Consequences through Orpheus, but I just don't enjoy her that much. I've never found myself emotionally attached to her as a character, whereas my emotional attachment to other characters is a major part of what draws me to the show in general. Especially the first time I watched the series and before I discovered the depth of her character arc, I found that she grated on my nerves. Again, I've grown to appreciate her as a character, and her character arc of redemption is one of the most complex in the Buffyverse. However, unlike other characters who I appreciate, I have never grown to love Faith.
