Chosen Family: Difference between revisions

* Technically, the main characters in ''[[Angel]]'' run a business called Angel Investigations, which is Cordelia's idea so they can pay rent while she waits for her big acting break. Seasons one and two, however, make it very clear that Angel needs them to stay grounded and tethered to his humanity, no matter what Los Angeles as well as Wolfrem & Hart toss at him. Doyle, a former criminal and demon, used his last moments to save Angel and Cordelia while passing on his gifts to the latter. Wesley finds a new home after the Watchers fire him, and {{spoiler|he goes off the deep end when his attempts to save Angel's son lead to Connor being kidnapped instead, and Angel tries murdering him in revenge}}. It's also because of Angel and Cordelia's machinations that they rescue Fred from another dimension, create an [[Alternate Timeline]] where {{spoiler|Connor has none of the trauma that came from Holt kidnapping him as a baby}}. Cordelia finds her purpose, Lorne uses his musical skills for good, Gunn puts his monster hunting skills to use, and Fred regains her sanity.

* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', the Scoobies have become this, to the point where two of them become a [[Parental Substitute]] duo to Dawn, who is the only minor left in the group by season six. While Buffy started hanging with Willow and Xander after they learned about vampires and decided to do what they could to help, Cordelia joined the group under protest after supernatural forces killed one of her boyfriend and started targeting her on a regular basis.
