![]() ![]() For the first time in history, two full-fledged Slayers existed at one time, the other being Kendra Young. Buffy retained her Slayer powers, but her momentary clinical death was enough for the next Slayer to be called. This process continued through the generations until 1997, when the current Slayer, Buffy Summers, was killed in battle, only to be revived via CPR a few moments later. The forces that chose the Potentials, and that activate the one girl in almost two thousand around the world, were a mystery, only moved by destiny. Įach girl that was given the power of the Slayer was seemingly randomly chosen by the unknown forces that surround the Slayer line. Some girls were only found after they have been activated as the Slayer, Buffy Summers being one of those girls. The Watchers Council tried to identify and train these Potentials before they are called, locating some as babies, but were not always able to do so. When a Slayer died, one of the Potentials gained the powers and abilities of the Slayer. Dawn Summers was also not a Slayer or a Potential, despite being made into human form from Buffy. Slayers did not inherit the calling from their parents and did not pass it on to their children. Notably, the Slayer line was not genetic in nature. Consequently, the Shadowmen's spell also created a large number of Potential Slayers - common girls around the world who may one day be called. However, because of the violent nature of the life of a Slayer, their average lifespan was quite short after being called, under a year at most. Whether the ways they went about doing this were entirely ethical or not, the Council was determined to stop the spread of evil. The Shadowmen's descendants went on to form the Watchers Council, an organization dedicated to finding, training, and guiding Slayers, as well as shifting the scales from evil to good in the never ending battle between the two. My death could make you the next Slayer.” ―Buffy Summers You think you're different 'cause you might be the next Slayer? Death is what a Slayer breathes, what a Slayer dreams about when she sleeps. 'Cause that's the cool reward for being human. She then communicated with following Slayers through rituals and dreams. ![]() Sineya eventually died and her powers passed on to another girl. Still, the First Slayer was a formidable force of good who hunted and killed monsters that preyed on the innocent, and she also slayed the very last pure demon ( Old One) that walked the Earth with the weapon mʔ on Sunnydale grounds before it was officially named. This full infusion also caused her to lose her humanity, led only by her determination to slay. ĭue to her direct complete merging with the demon, Sineya was the most powerful of all the Vampire Slayers. She became the First Slayer, called to fight the vampires, the demons, and other forces of evil that populated Earth and threatened the innocent. This process granted her and the Slayer line powers such as prophetic dreaming, strength, durability, speed, and healing. In ancient Africa, a group of tribal elders known as the Shadowmen used powerful magic to infuse the essence of an ancient demon into a young captive girl, Sineya. No, you don't understand! You violated that girl, made her kill for you because you're weak, you're pathetic, and you obviously have nothing to show me.” ―Buffy Summers Whoever that girl was before she was the first Slayer. History The first Slayer “ You think I came all this way to get knocked up by some demon dust? I can't fight this. The multiple activations resumed with the restoration of a new magic, with the Slayers having chosen this calling and working towards a better future into the 23rd century. This process continued for thousands of years, until the intervention of Buffy Summers in 2003 caused multiple Potentials to be activated concurrently, which continuously happened until the end of magic. Slayers were often referred to as the Chosen One, as originally there was only one Slayer in existence at a time, the death of a Slayer being what allowed her powers to be inherited by the Potential Slayer next in line. While known primarily as the Vampire Slayer, the Slayer did not act only against vampires, but was a hunter of evil mystical forces in general. Slayer was the title given to a human female chosen by fate in the Slayer line, bestowed with mystical powers from an ancient demon. She is the Slayer.” ―The original prophecy of the Slayer ![]() She alone will wield the strength and skill to stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. Finale “ Into every generation, there is a chosen one.
