Richie's History
- Born in 2002, was a potential turned slayer (due to Willow's slayer activation spell done in season 7). Due to being a turned slayer at such a young age, when she was just 8 years old she already showed signs of having these superhuman abilities (such as strength, great speed, durability, etc.), while these powers where nowhere near to a slayer of Buffy's status, it was still unheard of.
- When she was 13, she was found by Willow and Buffy (given that the scoobies were looking for all of these activated slayers). Buffy explained to her parents and gave them all the details they needed. Buffy told them that since she has been activated since such a young age, she did not want her to join the team of slayers yet and instead enjoy her childhood and life as long as could, but if Rich ever wanted to, she could join them later on in life. With that being said Buffy agreed that a slayer, who has an understanding of what it means to be a slayer, should be sent to her to teach her the basics. Therefore, they thought the best option for her would be Faith Lehane, given that she had turned over a new leaf.
- Faith trained Rich for four years
- The reason Faith had stopped training her at age 15, is that Rich had been turned into a Slaypire (Slayer turned vampire [can either be a vampire from Buffyverse or TVDU ). But she was not an ordinary Slaypire. She was turned by KB (one of her closest friends).
- This all came to be when she went to fight a hell goddess (Glory from Buffyverse [TLDR: Glory's physical body/prison Ben had been killed, but all this did was release Glory's soul/essence into the world, and she traveled through many different dimensions until reaching ours again where she was able to get her physical human body back) and was killed. KB was outraged and went dark (similar to Dark Willow or Dark Josie) and tried to resurrect her through Osiris, but he denied him of that. So KB said "Fine, I will bring her back myself." Which is just what he did, he summoned the two most powerful vampires nearby. One was a male vampire from TVDU, who was 706 years old, and a female new vampire (a breed of vampires that were sired after the new seed of wonder was created) that was 10 years old. These new vampires had powers that no other vampire had they were stronger, faster, harder to stake, they were able to walk during the day, and shape-shift (into a mist, a swarm of bees, a panther, a wolf [not a werewolf, just a wolf], and of course a bat). However these powers were muted due to being "too powerful", but KB using the life force he stole from the hellmouth, he granted Rich access to these powers. Thus, the not only was the first vampire-vampire hybrid (Double vamp) born, the first Double-Vamp-Slayer was created.
- Given that she is made of two different types of vampires, she has all the aspects and characteristics of these two beings. For example, TVDU vampires keep their soul but BTVSU vampires lose their soul, therefore she only has 0.75% of her soul (but it works as much as a full one). She can "lose" her soul (it is more similar to turning humanity off but her soul can not be seen be others, and therefore seems lost), and when she does and turns off her humanity, she can be one of the most deadly vampiric beings on the planet. Without any emotions she becomes stronger, faster, more durable (only slightly but enough to see a difference).
- Just like the Originals and the Tribrid she can not be killed with normal wood, given that this was not how slayers were meant to be, so nature made a key way for to be killed. Given that special Oak trees (White Ash Oak and Red Oak) seem to be the Mikealson's thing, nature made the Yellow Birch Tree which grew rapidly (within weeks) in the spot where she died/was resurrected.
