McNab is best remembered for playing the rather shallow and ditzy Harmony Kendall on
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Angel .
Harmony Kendall, played by Mercedes McNab on Angel, used to be a member of Cordelia Chase's snotty, snobbish Sunnydale high school clique, known as the Cordettes. When she turned into a vampire after getting bitten during the war against Mayor Wilkins on their graduation, Harmony became Spike's on again, off again paramour and co-conspirator in the plot to destroy Buffy the vampire slayer. After their failed attempt on Buffy's life, Harmony wound up in Los Angeles where she found work as Angel's secretary and personal assistant.
