I adore Vi and her journey, but Amanda is my favorite. I think because we got to see her in "Help" and that trickled into her becoming a potential. And she was so nerdy, which I loved. I hated that she was killed in the finale just after activating.

I love Amanda too

I don't really feel any particular way about any of them because we didn't really get to spend enough time with them to know them. They should've vastly reduced the number of them so they could focus on giving a few of them personalities.

Amanda has like 80 lines of dialogue in the whole show. Vi has like 20. That's nothing.
Edit: by comparison, Anne Steel has 190 lines in the franchise and she's only in 5 episodes.

I may be the only one but I like Kennedy and Rona. To me it’s unrealistic that Buffy would behave the way she did in season seven and all of the potentials would just go along with it, heck I think teenage Buffy would have told General Buffy off. They were never cruel or out of line but they did have the backbone to tell Buffy no when necessary.

I am very fond of Felicia Day, so I vote Vi. But I don’t have much preference for any of the potentials as characters, we didn’t get to know them well. 😵💫

...Well, I don't recognize most of the character names in the poll. Part of the problem I guess...
I would say Amanda; she was recognizable and memorable without being irritating or cliche. She didn't take up a ton of screen-time away from other characters (in fact her story line facilitated Dawn's), she was more integrated into the story than 'random girl shows up in Sunnydale and Buffy saves them' and, most importantly, she smacked down Andrew's power-mad DM when he was trying to kill Giles' dwarf.
Honestly, when an evil DM is deliberately going for a TPK they must to be stopped.
But seriously, her death upset me more than Molly's, Anya's or Spike's.

Vi but only because I LOVE Felicia Day. She is honestly one of the most effortlessly cute actresses to have ever lived, alongside Aimee Garcia and Briana Buckmaster. Don't make me choose between those three however. I can't!
Sadly however Vi got very little screen time, though she did get to smack around a few Turok Han's which was cool. (Though also disappointing as a Turok Han fanboy to watch them get smacked down by a newbie LOL.)
EDIT by effortlessly cute I mean in terms of personality. Obvs all three actresses are gorgeous too, but I hate it when guys go on about women should put more effort into their looks. UGH sounds like Stewie in that episode of Family Guy "this is what you call getting dolled up" LOL So obviously I wasn't meaning THAT way, I just meant all three have such adorable, lovable persona's.
Actually whilst Vi was the best as she was both adorable and badass and useful in other ways like giving them medicare after the battle. I have to give some points to Annabelle only in that her death first time round was so unexpected and genuinely frightening, yet strangely relatable.
How many of us when faced in that terrifying situation wouldn't have done the same thing? Also I love the Turok Han when it corners her. Camden Toy is brilliant the way he adds a horrible little smile on the monsters face to let you know that whilst it is largely an animal. It can still take pleasure in torture and murder.
Most of the other potentials didn't even get a memorable death scene never mind a memorable moment so Annabelle at least has that. (Her death on rewatches is quite funny in a grim way when you see her going on about "control your fear!" Knowing what is to come.)

Amanda is my favorite. Of course it’s because of that she dies. No one care about Rhona but she survived.. it’s what whedon does

Rona. Funny, spunky, bright. Also Amanda and Vi. Amanda is very brave and also funny.
Don't like Kennedy at all. Really have little sense of most of the others.

Rachel Bilson ( Summer from Newport Beach) is also a Potential of season 7. One of the two Xander dreams he has sex with 😂
