Humanity doesn’t suit her well though, and she is ultimately turned into a vampire yet again.  Sound pretty crazy so far?  Well get this, she eventually becomes pregnant with Angel’s child.  That’s right, a vampire pregnancy.  One of a kind.  Tell your friends.  There are problems with the pregnancy though, and she ultimately sacrifices herself to save her unborn child. Darla is a seriously overlooked character in the Buffyverse, but she’s actually quite unique on many levels.  For one thing, she has died four times- that’s more than ANY other character in either Buffy or Angel.  She’s also one of only three vampires to ever have a soul (it was actually her baby’s, but still counts), and she is the only vampire to ever become pregnant- a phenomenon that is partially explained in a later season.  Whether you like or dislike her as a character, you gotta admit… she has had her fair share of shocking moments.
