Kendra Young

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Kendra Young was a vampire slayer that was called after Buffy Summers drowned at the hands of a powerful vampire.

Though her friend Xander Harris managed to revive her, Buffy's death nevertheless activated a second Slayer. Kendra was fully versed in the Slayer Handbook and fighting techniques and after a physical confrontation, Buffy and Kendra soon realized that they were both Slayers. Watcher Rupert Giles informed them that two Slayers existing at the same time was unprecedented, and the two eventually became allies as well as friends.

Kendra returned when her Watcher informed her that the Acathla would open its mouth and suck the world into hell. He gave Kendra a sword to fight the demon, which Kendra then passed on to Buffy. Kendra died in the Sunnydale High School library at the hands of a vampire named Drucilla.
