I didn't mean Faith's life was any easier; yeah, in many ways it was worse. You're right about her being more resilient because she had to be, I think. She does have very painful moments (I remember that ep well, and the Wesley-torturing episode, and breaking his shower in A:tS Season 4 after the Beast flattened her and she failed to rescue Angel, and so on), she just... keeps picking herself back up afterward, and actually acknowledges the screwed-up-ness of whatever happened once she's back on an even keel, and after her second death that was a feat Buffy really, really couldn't manage.

Which, again, is why I do pair Buffy with late-season Daniel... after his return to death he lost most of his resilience, too. And talking it all out like this makes it sound weird that I'm so fixated on writing them both; I guess I see them more in need of a caring fictive touch. =)

Faith and Teal'c, now. *thinky* That could be interesting indeed...
