Vicki was the first new vampire to rise after the recreation of the Seed of Wonder, acting as their leader.
Biography
New Vampires
Vicki awoke as an vampire in a nest of Zompires in Santa Rosita, immediately following the recreation of the Seed of Wonder. She was instantly aware of her new powers, resisting to the sunlight and flying out of the nest in giant bat form.[1]
She then led a gang of new vampires to help Buffy and the Scooby Gang clear the zompires from Santa Rosita, just to be able to battle against Buffy themselves. With the morning sunlight, the existence of evolved vampires was revealed to the Scoobies, along with the superior strength and shapeshifting abilities. Vicki and the other vampires decided to flee as soon as the battle started to look disadvantaging.[2]
Alliance
When Buffy and Willow opened their apartment for lobbyists to discuss the rules of magic; Vicki, through Harmony's mediation, reluctantly agreed to modify her new species' powers to prevent daylight shapeshifting. Vicki also agreed that she and her associated would follow the Harmony Rules, before storming out of the apartment.[3]
Vicki met Buffy and Harmony again to form a truce between new and old vampires. To this end, they become hosts of a trial by combat at VampCon, Las Vegas, where Buffy and Spike had to fight their champions. The alliance was made, but not without Harmony and Vicki continuously make provoking comments toward Spike and Buffy's relationship.[4]
Against D'Hoffryn, Buffy asked Vicki for the consensus that he couldn't make changes in the rules of magic, therefore altering the reality of his powers. She agreed, as long as she didn't have to "actually do much of anything."[5]
Supernatural Crisis
In the aftermath of the San Francisco tsunami crisis, Vicki was taken to the Safe Zone.
When the Scooby Gang freed the captives, Vicki was framed as responsible for the 2,000 deaths in Dolan Spring, caught on camera besides a bloody corpse. Buffy, Spike, Willow, and Faith sought her for answers, to find her and her pack under the Congress Bridge. She defended herself, remarking the footage didn't show any blood on her fangs, and explained she was herded in the direction of the town, where everyone was already dead and reeked of concentrated magic. Buffy advised Vicki and her pack to hid and get away from the country, and trust that Buffy would deal with the situation.[6]
Personality
When Vicki awoke after being sired, she was initially outraged and attacked the Zompires. After realizing she could withstand sunlight, she instantly took to her powers and condition.
Personality-wise, Vicki was proud of her race, and was outraged at Buffy's attempt to remove their powers, grudgingly accepting limitation during the daylight hours. Vicki enjoyed annoying Buffy, and took joy in attempting to provoke her during the truce; she later struck up a friendship with Harmony after seeing the latter showing the same insulting behavior toward Spike.
