- ―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 abilities[edit | edit source]
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 scenes[edit | edit source]
- 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.
