Quick question--
Do we know the name of the Chinese Slayer Spike killed? I know it's not mentioned in the episode or in the credits for "Fool for Love," but does anyone know if it's ever mentioned in, say, one of those obscure comics or a video game or something, like Faith's last name?
If it isn't, is there a fanon name for her? Or does anyone have a suggestion for a good one for her?

Xin Rong (known in the television series only as Chinese Slayer) is a Slayer who was active in China during 1900, and is played by Ming Liu. In the Season Two episode "School Hard", Spike brags about killing a Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion. The Slayer's first and only appearance in the television series is in the Season Five episode "Fool for Love", in which her battle with Spike in 1900 is shown in flashback. The Slayer scars Spike's left eyebrow with her sword, and comes close to staking him, but an explosion outside rocks the temple in which they are fighting, and she loses control of the situation. As she dies, she says in Chinese, "Please tell my mother that I am sorry" (trad. 告訴我媽媽對不起 simp. 告诉我妈妈对不起); Spike replies, "Sorry, love, I don't speak Chinese."
The Chinese Slayer appears in the Spike & Dru comic book storyline All's Fair, which gives her name as Xin Rong. In this comic, Xin's family attempts revenge by sending her brothers after Spike. They track Spike and his partner Drusilla down in Prague. In Chicago, Illinois, 1933, the avengers of Xin Rong finally catch up with Spike and Dru. They beat and torture Drusilla so badly that she does not recover for ten years. The two vampires retaliate with the help of a chaos demon and the Rong family line ends there. In the Angel comic "Auld Lang Syne", the Slayer appears as a hallucination created by a demon called Lilitu to torment Spike. The Slayer's battle with Spike is recounted in the novel Spark and Burn, in which she is referred to as China Doll. According to the novel Blackout, the Chinese Slayer rescued a Buddhist monk from a dragon, for which he rewarded her with an enchanted sword. The enchantment of the sword explains why Spike's scar remains over a hundred years later, despite vampires' healing abilities.
