In many ways, Lucy is the previous Slayer who has had the most influence on Buffyverse fiction, her ghost appearing to aid Buffy and the Scooby Gang on multiple occasions, and her legacy having been encountered on other occasions. In Child of the Hunt, it was revealed that part of the essence from Lucy's soul, what made her human, was combined with that of the Erl King and made into the shape of a male. In every sense Roland, of the Hunt, was the son of Lucy Hanover. Her ghost has also appeared on various occasions, such as providing the gang with vital information when facing a vampire who can reincarnate into another body at the moment of death ("Immortal"), warning Willow about the coming of the Gatherer ("The Book of Fours") and guiding a temporally-displaced Buffy back into her past self ("The Lost Slayer"), among other things.

The frequent and unexplained disappearance of local Civil War widows shocked an already grieving community. These disturbing events ended when Lucy Hanover set up camp in a nearby graveyard. - WB Advertisement

Dana is a young Slayer whose mental instability is exacerbated by her Slayer powers, foremost among them being the memories of the Slayers before her. Her tragic past of physical abuse led her to confuse her memories of the vampire Spike killing Slayer Nikki Wood with those of her abuser. Dana tortures Spike to the extent where she severs his hands, before Andrew's group of Slayers take her into custody.

Leah

Slayer Time: 2003 - Present.
Source: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight.

Leah is a Slayer with large, puffy, red hair and apparently one of the best in Buffy's squad along with Satsu and Rowena. She speaks with a Scottish brogue. When Buffy chooses Satsu out of all the Slayers to help her rescue Willow, Leah agrees when Satsu tells her that it should have been herself, and that she had better not embarrass them.

Satsu

Satsu is an Asian Slayer who is one of the best in Buffy's squad, along with Leah and Rowena. She is known for her funky hairstyles and wardrobe. Selected as the most skilled Slayer in Buffy's squad, she is chosen to assist Buffy in rescuing Willow in part four of the "The Long Way Home." Satsu has aided Buffy many times in missions and battles. She has appeared in "The Long Way Home" parts 1, 2, 4 and makes cameos in "The Chain", and "Anywhere But Here". She has a much bigger role in "A Beautiful Sunset" and "Wolves at the Gate" part 1. In this issue, Buffy takes Satsu to a vampire nest, and they dispose of them quickly. As they fight, Buffy lets Satsu know that she knows that Satsu is in love with her. Buffy says she cannot return Satsu's affections but is sincerely flattered, saying the fact that someone 'really cool' like Satsu feels that way about her makes her feel less lonely. She warns Satsu, though, that people who love her have a tragic history of getting hurt (citing Angel's banishment to a hell dimension, Spike's immolation in the Hellmouth, and Riley's struggles with masochism). Afterward, when Twilight attacks, Satsu is knocked out at the beginning of the battle. In Wolves at the Gate pt 1, Satsu and Buffy are shown in bed together, having just had sex despite Buffy's statement that she was not attracted to her. Neither of them are sure how, or if, things between them will develop. Though they plan to keep this a secret, Xander and Renee walk in on them almost immediately, followed by Andrew, Willow, and Dawn. Later, Satsu refuses an order from Buffy, which prompts Buffy comment to herself that she finds Satsu's demeanor attractive.

A blonde-haired slayer and apparently one of the best in Buffy's squad. She speaks with a German/European accent.

Renee

Location: Scotland.
Slayer Time: 2003 - 2004.
Source: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight.

Renée is first seen manning a computer in issue #1, where she enjoys flirtatious banter about comic books with Xander. In issue #2, another Slayer tells her that she's in love with Xander, having recently developed a keen interest in comics, James Bond films and drywalling. Later that issue, we see her stabbed from behind by a Scottish zombie, although she survives as seen in #3. She and Xander are starting to be "sparring partners" as stated by Xander in #6. In issue #7 she is sent by Buffy to talk to Willow about fixing the new radar stations installed to protect them from the army. In issue 12 she is seen prompting Xander to ask her out, which he then does. She is one of the crowd of people to walk in on Buffy and Satsu. In issue 14, she takes the initiative and kisses Xander while he is fretting about their relationship. Later that evening, she is killed by the Japanese vampire leader Toru while accompanying Buffy, Xander, and others in an assault on the vampires' stronghold.

Genevieve Savidge

Location: London.
Slayer Time: 2003 - 2004.
Source: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight.

She first appears in issue #6 of Season Eight in which she is introduced as a villainous Slayer whom Faith has been assigned by Giles to eliminate. She is the daughter of a Duke in England, and extremely spoiled. She is being "tutored" by someone by the name of Roden, whose teaching involves the killing of Slayers. She is rich, protected, spoiled, powerful, and is plotting to kill Buffy in order to gain control of the Slayers. In issue #8, Roden and her plan sets in motion. Buffy gets teleported to Savidge's house where they fight. As Faith jumps in to save Buffy from Roden, Genevieve realizes Faith has lied to her about her identity. As Buffy escapes, Genevieve turns on Faith, and in the ensuing fight, Genevieve is accidentally killed.

Aiko

Location: Tokyo.
Slayer Time: 2003 - 2004.
Source: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight ("Wolves at the Gate").

She was assigned to field operations in Japan. When a group of Japanese vampires breached the Slayers' Scotland fortress and stole the Scythe, Aiko learned of their identities by demanding (then slaying) five Kabuki demons. Buffy ordered her to keep an eye on the vampires in Tokyo until she and other Slayers would arrive. While the Slayers flew to Tokyo, Aiko kept surveillance on the vampires. They deliberately led her in a dark alley where they planted a mysterious, coin device. When Aiko picked it up, one of the vampires appeared wielding the Scythe. Suddenly, the Scythe, the device and Aiko conducted a strange, red energy. Another vampire named Toru approached Aiko and broke her jaw with a single punch: she had lost her Slayer powers. Toru then bit her neck and fed off her blood, later hanging her body on the side of a building and using her blood to write a message for Buffy and her crew: "Welcome to Tokyo."

Others

Other, minor Slayers have made appearances, including:
Various unnamed potentials who became Slayers in the Buffy episode "Chosen", some dying in the final battle.
Those who accompany Andrew Wells in the Angel episode "Damage". A large squad of Slayers is seen with Andrew in several Season Eight issues.
Two Buffy decoys (one dating the Immortal in Italy, the other "literally underground"), mentioned in "The Long Way Home", and seen in "The Girl in Question" and "The Chain".
...and numerous other background Slayers from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight comic. Recently it was revealed in Angel: After The Fall that Charles Gunn has been training his vampire gang against slayers they apparently captured.
