Yes, for me it's Charlie and Kat from S1. Both were super awesome. :)
And very well pointed out about her gayness not being the sole reason that she was there. It was just an incidental thing. I mean, they didn't even need it for the funny flirting phone call, because they could have just as easily gone for "I'm an awkward nerd and I don't know how to talk to the opposite sex because I get flustered"...and that would have been playing into the nerd stereotype.
I think that's why I loved Charlie so much. She was a lesbian without being the token gay character - and she was a nerd without being a stereotype (ie: not incompetent or overly socially awkward - she was still able to be smooth...and she started the episode by informing everyone that she's quite capable of getting laid.)
I have zero interest in Buffy too, which is why I only know her from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog...but she was also in Doll House (though I didn't watch that), and she runs the Geek and Sundry channel () at youtube, where you can watch her series The Guild, and her vlog The Flog. (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8D3EFFBB747B9769&feature=plcp)
Very good point about the Leviathan plot not being character driven. See, sometimes I know something is lacking, but I just can't put my finger on it...and then someone points it out and I'm like "oh, well, that's fairly obvious." :P (Which, is also why I need beta readers for my novel.)
