The Vampire Darla
|
|
The Vampire Darla was sired by
the Master, commander of the Order of Aurelius in the Virginia Colony in 1609, .
The Master found the young saucy and intelligent prostitute dying of syphilis.
|
She came, with her beloved Master to Sunnydale, in 1997, where she was staked by Angel, who was protecting the slayer, Buffy. |
She was not born "Darla", The Master gave
her that name shortly after her Siring. It was noted that the name "Darla"
is Anglo-Saxon for "beloved" or "precious. Darla was creative, intelligent, cold
and precise, a deadly killer with a sharp wit and sharper tongue. In the
tradition of most vampires, she kills without qualms or second thought and she
does it very well.
