Open Left

Cordelia

At one level, the character Cordelia Chase in Buffy, The Vampire Slayer is a perfect embodiment of this attitude, except for the fact that occasionally she lets slip that she's profoundly aware of her existential condition...

Cordelia and Buffy are actually the same character.  If you go back to the original movie script, you'll see that it is basically Cordelia gets superpowers, forcing her to grow up.  Once Whedon decided to start the show after the events of the movie (more or less) he needed to create Cordelia to show the same change.

Too bad Sarah never had to grow up.  Even worse, though, is what a large percentage of the population likes her because of her lack of maturity.
