Cast
 (Michelle Trachtenberg)
Dawn Summers, like her name, is for the most part a bright person. Under that, however, is a deep cynicism, born from a real knowledge of the dark underside of the world that most people know nothing about. Dawn doesn't trust as easily as she used to, but her loyalty, once won, is very strong. Dawn loves her sister, and having finally accepted her role in the world (watcher jr. she once said) - that of a Scooby, she's ready for the vampless paradise of New Orleans . Boy is she in for a surprise.

 (Jennifer Love Hewitt)
Victoria Walker is a gorgeous young woman. On the short side, Tori has brown hair and clear brown eyes. She’s a reserved person whose eyes shine with intelligence and passion, but she obviously cares about her appearance. In short, she’s a weird mix of Cordelia and Willow; a layer of superficial model/cheerleader over a rather quiet young woman.

 (Rachel Leigh Cook)
A short, dark-haired freshman from Washington DC, Susan Anderson is big into activist causes, both political and ecological (especially ecological-she's a tree hugger). She's also a practicing witch, which she tries to keep quiet about in mixed company. Though she's potentially quite strong, magically, she knows few true spells.

 (Jason Lee)
Jacob Ruth is an undecided freshman slacker from Seattle , who seems more interested in his ever-present laptop computer than in his classes. He does the minimum amount of work possible, and carries along a sketchpad and pretends to draw (doodle, actually) to make it seem like he's busy. Seems to come from money, and has his own car (a SUV). His unceasing video game playing is augmented by an encyclopedic memory, great manual dexterity, and unflinching nerves.

 (Vin Diesel)
Pete Malraux is a 20-year-old New Orleans quadroon starting college late on a minority scholarship. He works part time at a small motorcycle garage, and rooms with Jake down the hall from Dawn. Tall and very strong, he acquired a reputation as a 'bad boy' over the course of his youth. More 'TV bad' than actually criminal, he fits right in with Dawn and Co.

 (Keira Knightley)
Jessamine Pitot is a 20-year-old anthropology junior from an upper middle class Creole New Orleans family. The Pitots supplied New Orleans second mayor, and the Pitot House Museum maintains a snapshot of upper class urban life in the early 19th century. In a family with generational stakes in construction, banking, and their own law firm, Jess has always been a definite dark horse in the family.

 (Brendan Fehr)
Nikolai Sevruk is tall, with light brown hair and brown eyes, Nikolai’s a 25-year-old Russian national with the whole “cryptic guy in black” thing going full time. Who he really is and why, we don't know.

 (Emma Thompson)
Calm and collected, with a determination belied by her occupation as a newly tenured Professor of Anthropology and History & Medieval Lore, Amy Reynolds has changed considerably since her younger days in the watcher's council - a time that led to her abrupt firing by that esteemed body. Always seeming to know exactly what to do, Amy definately has her own views on training a slayer - and that's going to take all of her time.
