 In "Fray", Melaka is depicted as the latest in the mystical line of vampire Slayers, chosen ones born with the strength and skill to fight the forces of evil, over 200 years in the future.However, unlike other vampire Slayers, Mel is unusual in that she was one of a pair of twins; her brother Harth somehow inherited the psychic aspects of a Slayer's abilities, leaving her with only the strength, agility and other physical attributes.Prior to Mel, a Slayer had not been "called" to receive her powers for centuries.
