I'd started watching to see if Buffy was self-centered or not since that seems to be a thing in my corner of fandom
Any more so than any normal teenager (much less one who has been told she is THE chosen one and has the weight of the world on her every day?) Any more so than Xander, Willow, or any other character on the show?
This is the girl who sought out Willow in episode 1 and befriended her and Xander when it would have been easier to try to blend in with Cordy's group and preserve (repair) her social status. The girl who tried to talk to Cordy in the Wish and tried to get through to Faith when it would have been easier to throw her under a bus from the get-go. Who helped Lily when she wanted nothing more than to disassociate herself from slaying. Who was determined that her classmates would get their senior prom.
Like a lot of things in fanon, I think that's often (more than) a bit overstated.
Sorry (not sorry) for the rant. :P
Night of the Hunter reference FTW! I love that movie.
