'''Buffy Anne Summers''' was a [[Slayer]] and the [[Wishverse|alternate timeline]] counterpart of [[Buffy Summers|Buffy]], sent to Cleveland instead of [[Sunnydale]].
In an [[Wishverse|alternate timeline]], the [[Slayer]] known as '''Buffy Anne Summers''' was sent to [[Cleveland]] instead of [[Sunnydale]]. These events turned Buffy into a hardened warrior and caused Sunnydale to become a hellish haven for [[vampire]]s. Buffy was killed at the age of 17 by the [[The Master (Wishverse)|Master]].

When [[Cordelia Chase]] wished to [[Anya Jenkins|Anyanka]] that Buffy had never moved to Sunnydale, the [[vengeance demon]] transported her to a reality in which the absence of the Slayer had allowed the town to be dominated by [[vampire]]s. Instead, Buffy had moved to the [[Hellmouth]] in Cleveland, and her experiences left her with a grim, tough, and nihilist personality. She shunned away friends and family, and not even her [[Watcher]] had real influence over her actions.

―Buffy Summers[src]

Biography

You guys in Sunnydale talk like I'm the Second Coming.
―Buffy Summers[src]

When Cordelia Chase wished to Anyanka that Buffy had never moved to Sunnydale, the vengeance demon transported her to a reality in which the absence of the Slayer had allowed the town to be dominated by vampires. Instead, Buffy had moved to the Hellmouth in Cleveland, and her experiences left her with a grim, tough, and nihilist personality. She shunned away friends and family, and not even her Watcher had real influence over her actions.

Nonetheless, Buffy was eventually summoned to Sunnydale, where Rupert Giles told her his theory that she was supposed to have come to Sunnydale in 1997, but that her destiny had been altered. Buffy dismissed Giles' claims, but agreed to go after the town's king vampire, the Master.

Buffy tracked the Master down to the Bronze vampire club, where she encountered the tortured and ensouled vampire Angel, who claimed he had been waiting for her years before. Initially suspicious of him, she freed him so the two went after the Master in what appeared to be a factory. There, they discovered his plans to mass produce human blood for vampire consumption.

Shooting a crossbow, Buffy began a battle between the imprisoned humans and the vampires, when she staked the Master's right hand Alexander Harris. When Buffy finally faced the Master, she was no match for the ancient vampire, who overpowered her and snapped her neck.[1]

This Buffy was significantly different from her mainstream counterpart. She was a hardened, cynical warrior who cared for nothing but fighting, and was perfectly willing to kill. Buffy also appeared to be fatalistic, as seen in when she dismissed Giles' theories of a better world.[1]
