List of minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters
Xin Rong (known in the television series only as Chinese Slayer) is a Slayer who was active in China during 1890s and the 1900s, and is played by Ming Liu. In the season two episode "School Hard", Spike brags about killing a Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion. The Slayer's first and only appearance in the television series is in the season five episode "Fool for Love", in which her battle with Spike in 1900 is shown in flashback. The Slayer scars Spike's left eyebrow with her sword, and comes close to staking him, but an explosion outside rocks the temple in which they are fighting, and she loses control of the situation. Before Spike drains her of her blood, she says "Please tell my mother that I am sorry," to which Spike replies, "Sorry love, I don't speak Chinese."
The Chinese Slayer appears in the Spike & Dru comic book storyline All's Fair, which gives her name as Xin Rong. In this comic, Xin's family attempt revenge by sending her brothers after Spike. They track Spike and his partner Drusilla down in Prague. In Chicago, Illinois, 1933, the avengers of Xin Rong finally catch up with Spike and Dru. They beat and torture Drusilla so badly that she does not recover for ten years. The two vampires retaliate with the help of a chaos demon and the Rong family line ends there. In the Angel comic "Auld Lang Syne", the Slayer appears as a hallucination created by a demon called Lilitu to torment Spike. The Slayer's battle with Spike is recounted in the novel Spark and Burn, in which she is referred to as China Doll. According to the novel Blackout, the Chinese Slayer rescued a Buddhist monk from a dragon, for which he rewarded her with an enchanted sword. The enchantment of the sword explains why Spike's scar remains over a hundred years later, despite vampires' healing abilities.
