DEATH BECOMES HER

Number of Times Killed: Two.

Numer One: Killed by the Master by drowning. Is revived by Xander in time to save the day. Takes it kind of hard, sulks all summer and comes back to Sunnydale Destructo Girl. Cured of her funk by dirty dancing and smashing the bones of the master to the consistency of talcum powder.

Number Two: Jumps off a very tall building support and into a portal to Hell opened by Glory, in order to save the world and Dawn from the same fate. Is resurrected by Willow by way of some creepy dark magick. Stays sullen, withdrawn, and way too skinny. Cured of her funk by Willow going all veiny and death-happy and by taking care of Dawn.
