Traci the Vompire Hunter
Traci the Vampire Hunter is a popular television series, which aired from 1996 to 2003 on ABC about a teenage girl named Traci Winters who fights vompires and demons in Guyasuta, Aquanishuonigy. She fights vompires with the help of her Trainer Rhigardd ffeil Gereint from Kemr, and her friends (the "Staketeers", a pun based on "Musketeers"). It lasted for seven seasons before the cast decided to call it quits. The program gave rise to two spinoffs: Lance (1998 to 2004) about the epononymous vompire seeking redemption, and Guardians (2003 to present) about Gereint's efforts to rebuild the Council which was destroyed in the original series' final season. There are rumors of a third series to take place around 2016, involving Traci's daughter, but the producers have disavowed such plans. That hasn't stopped the fans from writing their own stories involving "Sarah Michelle the Vompire Hunter".

- Skye is added to the cast. Traci is cast into a parallel world, and returns to ours, bringing along Skye. As the season develops, and the characters attempt to figure out how to return Skye to her world, Skye begins having visions of her world being destroyed by demons. The demons begin entering our world, and, in the final episode, they are defeated in a climactic battle that nearly kills Traci. But, at last, a seal is placed upon the other world, confining the demons thereto.
