This is actually kind of difficult as I think through it. Initially I said Baby/Emma as the Xander (it was only years afterward that I realized that she actually did a fair bit - at the time I saw her as just playing the blond role in the same way Victoria did).

I think Geri has to be the 'opoosite Xander,' doesn't she?

Would the opposite Xander be...the Buffy? Geri definitely that, anyway.

I think there'd be a good argument for Emma as the Xander - she was crucial to the Spice Girls but not as IN-YA-FACE as any of the others (Mel C = singer; Victoria = tab-friendly quite early on; Mel B = loud; Geri = Geri), so she was definitely quiet and secondary. But she is the only one who has really come into her own (as, ahem, an artiste) since. Of course Victoria has also come into her own (also as an artiste!) but if she is the Bez she cannot be the Xander.

NOT THE BUFFY

clearly the "buffy" is not CALLED the "buffy" (reason: "into each generation a slayer is born" = there can't just be one in every single girl group, rockband etc)
