“You named your stake? Remind me to get you a stuffed animal.”

―Buffy Summers

Mister Pointy was the stake Kendra Young gave to Buffy Summers.

History

According to Kendra, Mister Pointy was her lucky stake, and she had killed many vampires with it.

In 1998, Kendra gave the stake to Buffy to use against Angel if Willow Rosenberg's Ritual of Restoration failed. While confronting Angel, Buffy wielded the stake to threaten him but left after realizing a trap had been set for her friends.

Buffy kept Mr. Pointy after Kendra's death. Reflecting on life without her Slayer powers, Buffy imagined bronzing the stake to show others. She also mentioned using it to slay a vampire working for Richard Wilkins and kept it by her bed like a “security blanket." When her UC Sunnydale roommate, Kathy Newman, searched Buffy's closet, Mr. Pointy was among the many weapons hidden there.
