Yeah, young Cordelia was one of the great characters of the Whedon
universe. 
I loved her in the first couple of seasons of Buffy.  (In the later
seasons 
of Angel, not so much.  Whedon's shows had a bad tendency towards "power 
inflation" for sup****ting characters, especially females.)

Did you know that Sarah Michelle Geller was originally cast as Cordelia? 
Then they decided to put her into the Buffy role and so brought Carpenter
on 
board.

SM Geller -- watch for her physical transition right around the end of 
Season 2 into Season 3.  She loses a lot of baby fat and puts on some 
muscle, and also the training improves her physicality.  She really got 
better with time.  Also, Spike's accent improves.
