Her family was killed by "the walkers" she was then raised by Croatians Native Americans and re-named White Doe. She began her training at age 12, and was a part of all the tribes decisions and hunting parties.
Ceremonial Fox, an old shaman was jealous over White Doe's affection for a young man named Seal of the Ocean turned the young girl into an actual white doe. After months of mourning the disappearance of White Doe a hunting party spotted a white doe on Roanoke, and figured it a sign. And so they would slay the white doe and offer it to their gods in return for their girl White Doe. Seal of the Ocean shot his arrow in the heart just as she became a girl again and died by an arrow shot by her true love.

Notes: Per the lonely slayer: "The Dates For Virginia Dare Are Incorrect. She Was Born The Slayer....And Her Exact Date Of Death Is Unknown. Though I Highly Speculate That It Was Not 1609.... Mostly Due To The Fact That She Was Told That She Was The Slayer When She Got Her First Period, And I Would Think That To Be Between The Ages 12-14...And After That The Story Takes Place A Few Years Later....3 At The Most...Leaving Her To Die Around 18, Or 19 Yrs Old."

Name: Marie-Christine Du Lac
Location: Paris, France
Watcher: Edmund de Voison (Before his death he told of her true past, and that she had failed in her duty. But she was okay with that. She knew that Edmund didn't truly know what a Slayer was. )
Birth: Mid 1700s
Death: Unknown, was last recorded active in 1789
Killed By:
Slayer Time: 1789
Notes: She was born to common laborers, her parents died when she was very young. The royal family of France found her and took her in. They raised her as their own, she became a spoiled brat. When she became a slayer she felt her first duty was to protect the rich and that the peasants did not matter.

In 1789, with her Watcher Edmund went into the city to seek out the Vampire L'Hero, they met a girl named Mathilde, who became Marie's friend. She also learned that the peasants were people too and important to protect. When the Royal Family summoned her back, she did not want to go, but complied. Many times she would sneak out in street clothes to meet her new friends (usually with Edmund following). He was captured by an angry mob fueled by L'Hero. Marie arrived to the commotion just in time to see Edmund beheaded by the townspeople. His last words to her were "do you see how miserably you have failed in your duty." When her Watcher died she began slaying the way she was meant to.

Name: Marguerite Allard
Location: Paris France
Watcher: female Watcher
Birth:
Death: 1792
Killed By:
Slayer Time: 1792
Notes: 1792 - Paris, France: The aristocrat girl known as Marguerite Allard is called as the Slayer after her predecessor dies. She lives near the intersection of Rue Saint Honoré and Rue de Richelieu, and has a female Watcher. She can speak English as well as French.
One night, the four people known as Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris and Rupert Giles arrive in an alley dressed as Revolution supporters from the year 1998. Two vampire assassins who are out to disrupt the Slayer lineage arrive at the same time and the same place; Buffy stakes one of them, and chases after the other. Not far away, slightly older versions of the Scooby gang arrive as well; that older Buffy sends a note to Angelus not to get involved with anything related to the Slayer tonight, in order to avoid getting himself staked and thus destroying the future. Darla meets with the assassin alone therefore, and the younger versions of the Scoobies eventually save the kidnapped Marguerite and kill the last assassin long after their older counterparts have headed back to the future. Marguerite survives the Revolution therefore, as it was destined to be; but eventually, a new Slayer is called elsewhere.
