i think giles and joyce had a parent-like way of caring about buffy, so i think they cared about her more. but giles had the special watcher-slayer thing so i think he cared about her a little bit more :)

What, Xander's not on here?

you can add him

yeah giles cared for her sooo much but everone on the list did but i also think Xander just a little less or at least in a different way

i know giles loved her as if she were his own but joyce was her real mum . theirs no love greater than that of a parent for their flesh and blood .

Yeah, I have two people that I think cared about Buffy. Her sister and Xander, they both were always there for her once after had broken relationship with her lovers. Xander was to quick to judge on her lovers. Like Angel,Riley,and Spike, however Xander knew some things about all of him. Angel,she shut him down and let him leave town and move on. Riley,also she shut down, and never there for the guy.

Spike, Xander was to concern about him the most I think. After Xander found out about Buffy having sex with Spike. He was disgusted about that and wanting to him. Xander was relieved about that. He told Spike that theres no way to get Buffy.. But, Spike got Buffy and both of them used each other for sex.

Overall, Dawn was always there for Buffy once she broke up with Riley. Buffy loves Dawn as much she loves her mother. She was trying to help Dawn with her true idenity as the key opening portals. After to, Season 6, Buffy was realizing and also Dawn that they were never for each other. Dawn was always there for once Buffy had sex with Spike and she knew before anyone else. She could tell how Buffy was reacting around Spike.

In season 7, was a lot of love and pain in the season. Xander, and Dawn came along way to help each other out with Buffy's pain that Spike was back in Sunnydale with a soul. Dawn feels that Buffy has some feelings for him, so has Xander.It scares them both about this. But towards the end of the show they were happy Buffy was with Spike that had a lot of care for her.

Of course her mother did but She was Giles girl and he always did what was best for her.

ya i dunno if there's a contest. Joyce.

Giles acted as her dad

I mean, its her mother!

Joyce was her mom! I mean, even if she didn't always know everything about Buffy's life, nobody loves ya more then your mama.
