Buffy The Vampire Slayer Quiz: How Well Do You Really Know Anya?

Sunnydale's resident capitalist. There's nothing she can't face, except for bunnies...

For a thousand years, she wielded the power of the wish, bringing ruin upon the heads of every unfaithful and unworthy man who crossed her path, until she met the Scoobies and was plunged head-first into high school in 1990s USA. And she flunked maths.

The never-to-be 'Mrs Anya lame ass made-up maiden name Harris' was not just a pretty face and a songbird voice: her character developed from her very first appearance on the show and she went on an emotional journey throughout the show that began with falling for Xander Harris, took her into the full range of human emotions and empathy with the death of Joyce Summers, and exposed her greed with ownership of The Magic Box.

Ultimately, our beloved Anya met her end during season seven's battle of Sunnydale High - a fitting way to go for any Buffy character worth their salt - though she found something of a revival in the comics, returning to wreak a new brand of magic havoc in season ten.

Now starring on the hit MCU and Disney+ series Wandavision (for which Buffy-related fan theories are abound), Emma Caulfield has come a long way since her days as the mortal and socially awkward Anya.

Now, it's high time to sharpen those pitchforks and sort your Auds from your Anyankas!
