Darla NAME: Darla JOB: Professional Distraction TALENT: Love/hate relationship with Angel  QUEST: Live forever by any means necessary Darla, an Anglo-Saxon derivation meaning "Dear One", is known as anything but "Dear" to anyone living. In her first life as a human was during the early part of the 16th century in the Virginia colony, where she made her living as a prostitute with means. On her deathbed, the Master paid her a fateful visit and Darla was born, becoming one of the most evil, creatively scheming vampires in her time and the most favorite of the Master. When Darla met Liam, she was already over a century old. Masquerading as an Irish noble woman in 1753, Darla turns a curious Liam into the evil vampire Angelus-- training him, teaching him and loving him for a hundred-fifty years, spending every deliciously bloody moment together and creating their own special group along with Drusilla and Spike. Fate came in the form of a beautiful gypsy girl, just one of many of Darla's inventive and carefully planned out gifts for her beloved Angelus. Little did Darla know what would result from her gift. But Darla's evil side doesn't discriminate, even to her evil loved ones, she rejects Angelus when his soul is returned-just when he needed her most, throwing him out into the streets of Romania to fend for himself. Darla arrives in Sunnydale as part of the Master's minions, no one knowing the true history she had with Angel. Still after her beloved Angelus, she attempts to cause a rip between Angel and Buffy through a scheme: She tries to make Buffy believe that Angel fed on her mother--but it fails miserably, causing her own death at Angel's hand. She was never to be heard from again, but the prophecies in the Scrolls of Aberjian had a different future in mind for Darla. She was resurrected with Wolfram & Hart's help from Hell and is now the first vampire to be a born-again human. Like Angel, Darla is a part of the prophecies, making her part of Angel's life once again. After four hundred years of life, Darla's tale isn't finished just yet, as Drusilla returns her once again to the vampiric fold.
