Also, I think "Betty" was Buffy's alias when she ran away to Los Angeles during a season break (Seasons 3 and 4, I think; after she'd sent Angel to Hell).
But yes, that's my general feel of the character, that's it's Buffy with the serial numbers filed off and dropped into a pulp-verse to become the Shadow. Like I said, I'm enjoying the story, so I'm not completely put out by it, but it's just a little off-putting. Hell, the author could have an OC and dropped her through a time-travel plot hole and just did a Shadow/Doc Savage fanfic.
