Caridad (last name unknown) was a Potential Slayer who eventually became one of the many new Slayers in 2003. She was portrayed by Dania Ramírez.
Biography
At some point after her arrival, Caridad met Xander Harris, whom had a sexual dream regarding a threesome with Caridad and her fellow Potential, Colleen.
After Buffy Summers was expelled from the Scooby Gang and Faith Lehane was appointed its new leader, Caridad was enlisted to help capture a Bringer to learn of the First's plans. She later joined Faith, Rona, Amanda, Vi, Kennedy and other potentials in a raid on the Bringers' underground armoury, only to be caught in a bomb blast as the group realized they have been led into a trap.
Caridad survived the explosion and the subsequent ambush by a group of freshly released Turok-Han vampires. However, she remained severely injured, Anya treated her wounds while drinking a bottle of scotch that Giles wanted her to sterilize wounds with. She was present when Buffy returned to the fold and took part in the Battle at the Hellmouth. Buffy magazine has confirmed her survival but she has yet to appear in the canonical continuation, series 8.
