―Kalderash woman^[src]

An unidentified woman was an elder in 1898 of the Kalderash people. She performed the Ritual of Restoration on Angelus to return his soul after he killed a beloved girl of her tribe.^[1]

Afterwards, the remaining vampires of the Whirlwind — Darla Spike, and Drusilla — massacred the Kalderash tribe in vengeance for Angelus's curse.^[2]

Powers and abilitiesEdit

Rupert Giles once described the Ritual of Restoration as an extremely potent spell that first required the caster to possess an extensive knowledge of magic, that surpassed that of a Watcher's. If an untrained witch were to attempt it, there was a possibility of the spell opening a doorway in the witch's soul — one that she might never be able to close.^[1]

In addition to performing the ritual successfully, the woman did so without letting it take over her,^[1] as it'd do with Willow Rosenberg while she first performed the same spell years later.^[3]

Behind the scenesEdit

• She was portrayed by Shannon Welles.
• Unidentified in the series, she was credited simply as "Gypsy Woman."
• The story Spike vs. Dracula, Part One establishes her name as Magda, although of non-canon value.
