In Sunnydale, you were known as 'the lady in the forest'. Nobody really knew your actual name, or what you really look like. They only ever saw your figure when they were in the forest. You never tried to hurt anyone though, just minding your business. You'd also randomly disappear when people approached you. Nobody knew that you were just an ordinary girl. Well, mostly, as you were a witch...

Giles, as well as Buffy, Willow, Xander and the others already had their fair theories, one closer to the actual reality than the other. They eventually decided to go into the one particular forest, looking for you. Minutes for minutes, they had no luck, until they parted ways. Giles walked deeper into the forest, still being extremely observant. He was unarmed, though. He wasn't gonna hurt you, and he definitely wasn't gonna force you to actually talk to him. Giles was just about to give up, until he saw you, standing there, wearing a normal, blue cottage dress and carrying a basket. You knew he was there, but you didn't mind his presence
