| Alexander LaVelle Harris, known
universally as "Xander", is a bright student at Sunnydale
High, but lacks application. |
| |
| Xander has been close friends with
Willow for most of their lives. He doesn’t realise that she is smitten
with him and, in any case, is besotted with Buffy. Theirs is a doomed
romance, since there’s only one man in Buffy’s life: Angel. He
finally plucked up the courage to tell Buffy of his feelings (in
'Prophecy Girl') only to find that they were not reciprocated.
Nevertheless, he remains fiercely loyal and protective, even though
often it places him in danger. Their adventures together have tested
Xander severely. Xander has matured considerably since meeting Buffy,
and has grown in courage. Little of Xander’s home life has been
revealed. Like Willow and Buffy he’s an only child, but one who
isn’t close to his parents. |
|
| Xander has not had many romantic
relationships, and most of them have ended badly, (his entanglement with
Natalie French in 'Teacher’s Pet', for example). Following a long
period of mutual animosity Xander and Cordelia began dating. Their
sparky relationship ended when he was caught kissing Willow, (in
'Lover’s Walk'). |
| |
| In 'The Zeppo' Xander encountered Faith
as he tried to escape from Jack O’Toole and his zombie buddies, and
ended up sleeping with her. He eventually had to admit this to the rest
of the gang, greatly upsetting Willow. |
| |
| An alternate-universe version of
Xander appeared in 'The Wish'. In this universe Buffy had never come to
Sunnydale and Xander, like Willow, had been turned into a vampire. The
vampire Xander was staked by Buffy before Anyanka’s spell was broken
and Sunnydale returned to normal. |
