In this book, McNair states that the main character Buffy is seen as "strong" and "independant", which evidently is true, as Buffy does not need to rely on other people for her own success - she is a vampire slayer. Also, in Series One, Buffy punches a monster, which proves that Buffy is not seen as a victim, but instead a heroine. Unlike The Vampire Diaries, Buffy is extremely powerful and self reliant.
