Sunnydale High School students

Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUN : Sunnydale High School students


In the Buffy: the Vampire Slayer universe, the town of Sunnydale showcases a public high school named Sunnydale High. Many of the show's major and minor characters are current or former students at the high school. The following are all fictional characters who attended Sunnydale High.

This article includes both the "old" Sunnydale High (first seen in Welcome to the Hellmouth) and the "new" Sunnydale High (first seen in Lessons); although they are two different buildings, they are the same school with (largely) the same faculty, and sit on the same location.

Devon MacLeish

Devon MacLeish was a minor recurring character; he was lead singer of the band Dingoes Ate My Baby, a friend of Daniel 'Oz' Osborne and one-time boyfriend of both Cordelia Chase and Harmony Kendall.

Devon was played by Jason Hall.

Devon appears in several episodes, but never features very prominently. His lines are generally comic relief as he plays comedian to Oz's straight-man on subjects such as girls and bands who can play more than three chords. However, Devon's actions show other layers to his personality as he is shown valiantly assisting the Scoobies in battling the zombies in "Dead Man's Party". After Oz's departure in the 4th season, Devon, along with the rest of the Dingoes, fade off the radar so to speak.

Fritz

Fritz appears as one of Moloch´s henchmen/slaves in the episode I, Robot...You, Jane. He kills Dave and kidnaps Willow, under orders from the Internet-bound demon. He was killed by Moloch who snapped his neck after getting his robot body.

Jesse McNally

Jesse McNally (played by Eric Balfour) was a minor character in the first season. Appearing in the first two episodes, he was a close friend of both Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris at the time that Buffy Summers transferred to Sunnydale High School. He had a crush on Cordelia Chase.

Jesse was captured by the Order of Aurelius to be offered to The Master. He was turned into a vampire in order to lure the Slayer into a trap.

When confronted by Xander, Jesse showed the typical attitude of newly-sired vampires, astonished by his newfound powers and immortality. Rupert Giles had earlier warned Xander that when he saw Jesse, he wouldn't be looking at his friend but rather at the creature that killed him. In the ensuing battle, the vampire Jesse was killed by Xander, by accident when a character rushing past pushed Jesse onto the stake that Xander was threatening him with.

Owen Thurman

Owen is Buffy´s date in the episode "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date". He follows Buffy, Willow and Xander to the morgue after being instructed not to and almost gets killed by the vampire the gang believes is The Anointed One. He is a very calm guy who reads a lot of poetry. He is a member of the High School chess club.

Percy West

Percy West was a minor recurring character on the show. He appeared in seasons three and four. The character is played by Ethan Erickson.

Percy was a football player and "jock" at Sunnydale High School. When his low grades nearly made him ineligible to play, Principal Snyder insisted that Willow "tutor" him, but in Percy's mind, this meant that Willow was going to do his work for him. After a run-in with Willow's doppelgänger, a vampire from an alternate reality, Percy decided to take Willow's tutoring more seriously.

Percy also helped organize the students into a fighting force at Graduation. He went to USC on a football scholarship, but dated a girl who went to UC-Sunnydale. At a party, Willow ran into him and his girlfriend and they had a casual conversation. After that, Willow overheard Percy refer to her as a nerd. He was not seen again.

Scott Hope

Scott Hope was a minor recurring character during third season. In the beginning of season three, he was introduced as a potential new love-interest for Buffy, who had seemingly killed her ex-boyfriend Angel at the end of the second season.

Although Buffy acknowledged the fact that Scott Hope was a potential love-interest, her duties as the Slayer and her guilt over killing Angel got in the way of her pursuing a relationship with Scott. At one point, Scott, who was very interested in Buffy, gave her a Claddagh Ring as a sign of his feelings for her. The gift, although well intended was not received happily, as she had received one from Angel before he had turned evil and she was forced to kill him.

Nonetheless, after numerous advances by Scott, she finally gave in and they dated for a short time, but was apparently dumped shortly before homecoming. By that time however, Angel had returned and she did not seem to be torn over it. Scott's actions did receive Faith's scorn, although she ultimately relented.

Several years later, in season seven, Buffy learned from former classmate Holden Webster, in the episode Conversations with Dead People that Scott was gay, and as a possible sign of this in high school he would break up with women and spread a rumor that they were gay.

Tucker Wells

Tucker Wells (played by Brad Kane aka Caleb Kane) summons demonic dogs to attack the Prom in the season three episode "The Prom". He is best known as the brother of Andrew Wells. As Andrew's identity is constantly forgotten, Tucker serves as a handy point of reference.

Although Tucker only appears in one episode of the show, Brad Kane actually returned to the show in the fourth season episode "Superstar" as the singing voice for Jonathan Levinson.

PLEASE DISCUSS CHARACTER ADDITTIONS/REMOVALS BEFORE MAKING CHANGES AT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Buffyverse#Buffyverse-box_character_inclusions)

This box cannot/shouldn't be including every Buffyverse character. Some suggested guidelines are:

"The people who appeared in the opening credits (Scooby Gang & Fang Gang/FG) appear in the box, and the most important villains/friends who had a significant emotional impact on multiple of those opening credits characters - as long as they have a significant episode count, and preferably if they appear in three or more seasons."
