Biography
A talented painter who loved the light, Dylan grew up in Minnesota but was unhappy there because of the long, dark winters; as an adult, she moved to the small town of Greenville, California. Shortly after arriving in Greenville, Dylan was attacked by two men whilst walking down an alley at night. She was rescued and befriended by Spike, who unbeknown to her, was a vampire struggling with the recent return of his soul. Dylan was intrigued by Spike, despite his strange behavior, and the pair went on a brief date and shared a kiss. However, the date was interrupted by the arrival of a child-snatching demon Spike had previously encountered. As Spike battled the demon, Dylan helped take the kidnapped children to safety. However, when she caught a glimpse of Spike's vampiric features, she became terrified and screamed at him to stay away from her. Spike later sent flowers to Dylan's home as a goodbye gift.
Years later, Dylan arrived in San Francisco searching for Spike, describing him to a bartender as "the one who got away".
