Bio: Kennedy was living previously living with her wealthy parents and half sister in New York City, and the South Hamptons training with a Watcher to become the next Slayer for several years. As she was in her late teenage years, she feared it was too late for her and very much wanted to be chosen. When the First began attacking potential slayers, her Watcher was killed before her eyes, and she escaped. She was picked up by Rupert Giles and being shipped off to Sunnydale to be guarded and trained by the Slayer Buffy Summers from the First and the Bringers. She was one of the first 3 potentials brought to Sunnydale when the First's attack started and she immediately made both a nuisance and use of herself.
And excellent fighter and born leader, she commanded and trained the other girls, often bringing them to tears with her militant attitude. She butted heads with the current Slayer in her attempts to disagree and change plans. She also made a play for the Slayer's best friend Willow Rosenberg successfully beginning a relationship with her. When the time came for the scythe spell to be performed, Kennedy took to the Slayer powers immediately with no problem and her advanced training served her well as she made it through the final battle of Sunnydale without a scratch.
Season 8: After fleeing Sunnydale, she and Willow were living in Brazil for some time. While living there and leading a Slayer Squad, Willow went on a mystical walk-about which seemed to have placed some distance between the two. She and Willow faced some relationship issues, including Kennedy dying mystically for a short time due to a mistake on Willow's part. Kennedy fears that Willow is ashamed of her and that's why she keeps her away from Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies at Command Central. Willow admits that she often feels she is to blame for Tara's death for keeping her so close to Buffy which equals danger and she is afraid the same fate might come to Kennedy. For a while Kennedy and Vi lead a Slayer squad in New York, before she meets up with Willow and Buffy to assist Willow in bringing Buffy back from the future. She most recently was sent by Buffy to Japan to check up on Satsu, and evaluate her as a Slayer Squad Leader. They were attacked by The Swell, stuffed animals tha contained vampiric parasitic demons released by the vampire Harmony Kendall. They were able to defeat and destroy them. Shortly after, the Slayers were attacked by Twilight and forced to flee. Upon realizing that they could be pinpointed due to magic use, they learned to suppress their magic included their Slayer strength. They were attacked but Kennedy survived, and later got her powers back.
