Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Also known as: Buffy

“In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.” After the events in the film of the same name, Buffy Summers has moved from L.A. to Sunnydale to start anew. Unfortunately for Buffy, her new high school is on top of a "Hellmouth", which means that her demon slaying days have just begun.

With the help of her mentor Giles, and her friends Xander and Willow, Buffy fights to keep Sunnydale, as well as the world, from supernatural harm.
