A Lizard demon and a prisoner of XXI.

* TheBully: He throws around cruel barbs at the fellow inmates, although this is at least partially as a way of coping himself.

%%* OverlyLongTongue
* TookALevelInKindness: He is the most abrasive of Angel's fellow prisoners for most of his scenes, but does show some sympathy for the young Hellish later on and also helps save them all rather than escape himself. By the time of the SchrodingersCanon short story "A Joyful Noise" (set early in season 3), he makes an appearance at Angel's Christmas party and tips Angel off about a cult murder spree.

A demon that haunted Hyperion Hotel, feeding on the insecurities and fears of its guests and staff for nearly 70 years.

* BreakingSpeech: He gives a very smug (and successful) one to Angel during the 50s.
-->'''Thesulac:''' I don't know about you...but I'm stuffed! God, I love people. Don't you? They feed me the worst, and I serve it right back. And the fear and prejudice turns to certainty and hate and I take another bite and mmm, mmm, mmm! What a beautiful, beautiful dance! You got your feelings hurt, didn't you? Stick your neck out, and they throw a rope around it. And you thought you made a friend. News flash, you had! That's what made her the yummiest morsel of all. You reached her. Restored her faith in people. Without you, she would've been just another appetizer. But you plumped her up good. Now she's a meal that's gonna last me a lifetime! Hey, you know what? There's a whole hotel here full of tortured souls who could really use your help. What do you say?
-->'''Angel:''' ''[{{Beat}}]'' Take them all.
* CombatTentacles: The Thesulac is mostly tentacles. His face is seen, but other than that he seems to be a mass of tentacles within a robe. He uses them as weapons, but Angel uses them right back.
* EmotionEater: He feeds off negative emotions, specifically paranoia.
* EvilLaugh: While delivering his BreakingSpeech he's chuckling away.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Angel kills him by connecting one of his CombatTentacles to a fuse, electrocuting him from the inside out.
* SlasherSmile: When he's talking to Angel, he can't stop smiling with all his grotesque teeth.

* EvilSoundsDeep: In his true form, he has a deep demonic voice.
* IronicEcho: Deevak throws Gunn's earlier threat to Jameel back to him.
-->''"It's survival of the fittest, bro. And right now you're not looking too fit."''

->'''Played By:''' Creator/DaisyMcCrackin & Creator/MadisonEginton
->'''Appears In''': "[[Recap/AngelS02E04Untouched Untouched]]"

A young woman with telekinetic powers. Bethany's father sexually abused her when she was younger, which caused her to develop her powers.

* AbusiveParents: She was sexually abused by her father ever since she was a little girl, and of course it's affected her deeply. She's angry, self-loathing and (according to her) sexually promiscuous because it's the only way she knows how to relate to men.
* AttemptedRape: Bethany is almost raped by two scumbags, but manages to telekinetically smash a dumpster against them, crushing them up against a wall and turning them to jelly.
* BerserkButton: Any mention of her father, particularly sending her back to him, results in Bethany freaking out. It's hard to blame her.
* DramaticShattering: When she sees her father again, all the glass in the floor she's on shatters.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: When Lilah sends Mr. Chaulk to see Bethany, she's faced with the choice of whether or not to kill him for abusing her for so long. She eventually makes the right choice, or at least the more traditionally moral choice by sparing him...after tossing him out a window and halting him just a few feet before a messy death.
* HatesBeingTouched: Due to her abusive past.
* ParentalIncest: She was a victim of this from her father, from when she was barely five years old. Mr. Chaulk is twisted enough to even see this as a loving relationship and not a vile, predatory act judging by how he shows no fear of her (initially) and seems to think that the way to bring her home is to promise it will be "just the way it was".
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Her telekinesis is very impressive, and she had barely started honing it. No wonder Wolfram & Hart saw so much potential in her as a weapon.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: The sexual abuse she endured as a child was a catalyst for awakening her powers, and her attempted rape brings her to Angel's attention.

-->''"Can't hurt me anymore"''

A young woman tormented by the abuse and torture done to her. When she becomes activated as a Slayer she suffers visions from past and current Slayers, flees the hospital she is kept at and tries to make sense of what's done to her.

* AnArmAndALeg: When she thinks Spike was who tortured her she drugs him and cuts off his hands with a bonesaw as retaliation.
* AntiVillain: Much of her villainous traits are due to first believing Spike was who tortured her, then down to doing exactly what any Slayer would have done.
* AxCrazy: First the torture, then having to relive what other Slayers had gone through sends Dana off the deep end.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Dana's torture is the long and short end of her psychotic behavior.
* BewareTheSuperman: She's the first example of the consequences of Buffy having Willow activating all Slayers worldwide; having been driven AxCrazy by torture, gaining the Slayer memories and reliving their lives and deaths drives her completely off the deep end.
* CallBack: Spike already has Dana out for blood because he's a vampire. He then lets slip he killed first one then two Slayers. Even when he gets through to her that he wasn't the one who tortured her Dana seeks to kill William the Bloody as vengeance for the two slain Slayers.
* DestinationDefenestration: Spike letting slip he killed the Chinese Slayer leads Dana to doing this.
* DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat: After the torture, the visions and the realization she's hunting down ''the'' Spike Dana is freaked enough as it is. So when a store clerk surprises her she reacts by breaking his arm.
* FacialMarkings: Dana had taken to putting blood on her face like war paint.
* FightingFromTheInside: Dana reveals that she thinks Spike is the one who tortured her, as well as believing she is Nikki Wood and the Chinese Slayer he killed. He eventually is able to reason that he did nothing to her, but because he did kill two Slayers that doesn't stop her.
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: She nicks a bonesaw while fleeing the hospital and we are left to guess whether she uses it in self defense, not that Dana needs it, but it's only shown used on Spike.
* GoodIsNotNice: Okay, Spike and Angel were evil. Dana doesn't care that they have a soul now, or who she has to hurt or kill to get at them. Whether Andrew and the Slayers he brought to help her have better luck is LeftHanging.
* ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure: Cited by Dana numerous times. "Stake the heart, cut off the head. Keep cutting until you see dust."
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Having the memories of slain Slayers forced upon an already tortured mind makes it a small miracle Dana held it together as well as she had.
* ManySpiritsInsideOfOne: Dana is already crazy because of the torture she went through. Now that she relives the previous Slayers as well she resembles a psychotic Faith.
* MessyHair: Her unkempt curly locks.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: On the one hand Willow activating every potential Slayer brings on the likes of Kennedy and Satsu. On the other hand, Dana.
** Spike reveals to Dana he's a vampire. Then that he killed one Slayer. Then he killed another. Even a reasonably sane Dana thinks William the Bloody has to die.
* NightmareFuelColoringBook: Dana painting on the walls of the hospital ward, trying to make sense of what's happened to her.
* TheOphelia: After a lifetime of torture and having centuries of horrors suddenly thrust on her Dana could hardly be anything else but a crazed, SurvivalMantra spouting Slayer bent on revenge. She becomes comparatively more sane, but still considered a lost cause.
* PastLifeMemories: Dana relives what every Slayer went through, quickly twigs who Spike is, at the cost of losing her sanity and when worked up actually believing she is, say, Nikki.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: On Spike, first for what she thinks he did to her, then when convinced he wasn't responsible for his admission of killing two Slayers.
* SlasherSmile: When Spike vamps out in front of her Dana looks like a kid on Christmas, cluing him in there may have been one tiny flaw in his plan.
* SurvivalMantra: "Heart and head. Don't be scared. Stab the heart, cut off the head. Keep cutting until you see dust. ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure."
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Because of tricky legal and copyright issues Dana is never heard from again, what with her being a Angel character and the ongoing comics being considered a continuation of Buffy.
