The characters from BTVS:

Giles
Willow
Dawn
Cordelia
Angel
Xander
Spike
Anya
Faith

Characters from A:tS:

Angel
Cordelia
Wesley
Gunn
Fred
Connor

I'm just going to do Buffy and Angel, hope that's OK. (I've bolded the episodes that really stand out for me)

Buffy: Nightmares; Becoming 1&2; Earshot; The Body; The Gift.

Angel: Becoming 1&2; Amends; I Will Remember You; Are You Now Or Have Your Ever Been?; Not Fade Away;

 

[Ethan Reigns]

I suggest we could add Joyce to the list - she has a great part in Gingerbread and Band Candy.

 

[Tome]

Erm... I'm not too sure how this can work for some characters as they didn't even have five episodes centered on them (while Buffy had probably over 80). I'm going to do my best and just name a few for each character.

Giles ~ The Dark Age, Passion, Band Candy, A New Man.
Willow ~ Doppelgangland, Wild at Heart, Seeing Red and Grave.
Dawn ~ Blood Ties and Older and Far Away.
Cordelia ~ Homecoming.
Angel/us ~ Amends and Enemies.
Xander ~ The Pack and The Zeppo.
Spike ~ School Hard, Lovers Walk, Intervention.
Anya ~ Selfless.
Faith ~ Bad Girls.

Characters from AtS:

Angel/us ~ To Shanshu in L.A., Reprise, Awakening, Smile Time and Not Fade Away.
Cordelia ~ Rm w/a Vu, That Vision Thing, Tomorrow and You're Welcome.
Wesley ~ Loyalty, Sleep Tight, Deep Down and Lineage.
Gunn ~ That Old Gang of Mine.
Fred ~ The Magic Bullet (aww) and A Hole in the World ( 🙁 ).
Connor ~ Apocalypse Nowish, Home and Origin.
Illyria ~ Shells and Underneath.
Lorne ~ Belonging, The House Always Wins and Life of the Party.

AND I MUST ADD THIS:

Oooooh! Fun thread!!!!!

Sorry but I put all btvs and ats eps together.

BUFFY: I'd like to say every ep but I'll try and pick my absolute favorites.
- Anne (this is probably my absolute favorite. I think it shows her true colors brilliantly). She wishes for a normal life, to be free of the tremendous burden of the weight of the world which really does rest on her shoulders, but even when she tries she cannot deny who and what she is. A hero through and through. And she shoulders this weight with a smile and a quip.
