Darla

Darla is a sadistic vampire in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel tv shows. She is portrayed by actress Julie Benz. She was sired in the 1600’s by a well-known, old and worshiped vampire called « The Master ». At the time, Darla was a prostitute dying of syphilis. The Master gave her eternal life and turned her into a vampire. Darla appreciated being immortal. She was a particularly vicious, deadly and dangerous vampire. She was very seductive and manipulative, which came to her advantage many times. She turned Angel into a vampire and they became lovers. They had no pity for their victims and in fact took pleasure into torturing them before killing them. They befriended two other vampires called Drusilla (see my definition for her) and Spike, Drusilla’s lover and very popular character in the Buffyverse (go check out some defs for him too). So, Darla gained quite a reputation in her time as a vampire and proved to be cunning and resourceful for living that long. Before being killed by her former lover Angel on Buffy season one. However, Darla was brought back to life as a human at the end of Angel season one. That storyline was explored in Angel season two. She was part of a plan to make Angel go evil again. Then she was turned back into a vampire by Drusilla since she was dying again! Messed up, right? Then, she just started being an evil vamp again! If you wanna find out more, both shows are on Disney+, Hulu, and Youtube (gotta pay though).
