Hmm. I think Dawn and Andrew need another category, which is also Xander in high school (Trying Too Hard to Be Cool). We have Oz's word on this, after all.

It's odd that Tara and Giles, who are probably the most centred characters we see, aren't cool. But they are also not uncool (dorky, often, but not uncool). It's possible that, as a hugely uncool person myself, I'm just not great at defining coolness. But we seem to agree on the characters.

I used to be intimidated by the idea of writing both Faith and Spike in particular, but now I've started they come a lot more easily than some. The tension between personas is always fun to play with.
