[edit] Character details
Dana appears in the episode "Damage".
When she was 10, her family was murdered by a man named Walter Kindel, who kidnapped, drugged and tortured her, until she managed to escape. The ordeal at Kindel's hands, however, had left Dana severely traumatized. She was then confined in a psychiatric hospital. During her time at the hospital, she experienced visions and dreams, like other potential Slayers, though she somehow began to speak in Romanian and other languages as well. At the time of "Chosen", her Slayer powers manifested, thanks to the spell that activated all potential Slayers, unfortunately pushing her even further over the edge as she is tormented by memories of the Slayers before her.
She escapes several months later. During and after her escape, she injures or kills several innocent people. Both Angel and Spike attempt to track her down; Spike faces her twice, and on both occasions she manifests the personalities of the two Slayers whom Spike has killed in his life (causing Spike to initially mistake her new Slayer status for possession by a Chinese demon when he taps into the Slayer he killed in the Boxer Rebellion). Dana mistakes Spike for the human (now deceased) that had tortured her. She captures him and saws off his hands in a misguided act of revenge. Angel later apprehends Dana, but Andrew and a squad of Slayers arrive and take her into custody, stating that they (including Buffy and the rest of the Scooby Gang) no longer trust him due to his current status as head of Wolfram & Hart. What becomes of Dana afterwards is unknown.
