Personality:
Drusilla has been referred to as many things. Innocent, insane, childish, mad. Darla who would be Drusilla's grandsire had once called the woman a lunatic. Spike has once said she never stops surprising him. Spike also said that she "still had a bit of child in her" in contradiction to Angelus's comment on her insanity.
As a vampire, Drusilla was unusually affectionate and viewed the other members of The Whirlwind as her 'family'. she was particularly attaached to Spike, her lover at a point in time, and Darla who acted as a surrogate mother/ older sister figure to her.
As a human Drusilla was what others viewed as Saint like. She was a good girl and tried to please her mother and family. She was a religious girl and viewed her gift of sight as a curse. She feared God would not accept her into heaven for her curse.
She was driven insane by Angelus who had tortured her emotionally and mentally. But when she was turned he was hers. She had a bit of an obsession with her so called 'Daddy'.
History:
The meeting with the Angelic face
Not much is known about Drusilla's life prior to being sired. She had an uncle, a mother and two sisters - one of whom was apparently named Anne. One night, in 1860, while walking with her family, she was first seen by the vampire, Darla, who sensed what made Drusilla unique: she was not only pure, sweet and chaste, but she also had psychic powers, and was capable of occasionally foretelling the future, especially tragic situations. Darla showed Drusilla to her lover, Angelus, who became instantly obsessed with the notion of not just killing the pure young woman, but with destroying her both emotionally and psychologically, as she had the potential for sainthood.
At the time, Drusilla was fearful of her prophetic powers, which she regarded as a curse, as her mother had told her that they were an affront to the Lord. One day, after having the vision of a mine crash, in which two men died, she sought the help of a priest. She didn't realize that the man inside the confessional was Angelus, who had just killed the real priest. Drusilla told him about the vision and her fear of becoming evil, causing the bemused Angelus to taunt her by calling Drusilla a spawn of Satan and that she was fated to become evil. This was the first of the many tortures the sadistic Angelus visited upon Drusilla, slowly shattering her fragile psyche.
After his initial stalkings, Angelus then proceeded to murder the entire family of Drusilla: her mother, uncle and two sisters. It is very likely he made her witness each one of the murders and then let her flee to revel in her suffering. With her sanity nearly shattered both by her visions as well as the deaths of her family and the psychological torture Angelus had devised, Drusilla sought refuge at the convent of the Sisters of Mercy, not realizing that Angelus had a taste for nuns.
The Sisters of Mercy welcomed Drusilla, oblivious to the fact that Angelus was coming after her. The very same night Drusilla was supposed to take her holy orders, Angelus appeared and massacred the Sisters before Drusilla's eyes, finally destroying whatever hold of reality Drusilla had left after the deaths of her family. Then as she lay babbling and horrified on the floor after being forced to watch, Darla entered to survey Angelus' work. He explained to Darla that he believed death would merely release Drusilla of her suffering, and then tormented her a final time by having sex with Darla in front of her. Now considering her his masterpiece, Angelus sired her, despite Darla's objections of having a lunatic vampire alongside them.
For the next twenty years, Drusilla joined Angelus and Darla's whirlwind, becoming Angelus' lover as well. The pure, shy girl had been replaced by a highly sexual predator who enjoyed preying on the weak and innocent, such as children, and also reveled in her psychic powers and her unique view of reality. She did retain a childlike quality and kept a collection of china dolls. However, after 20 years with her sire and "grandmother," as Dru called Darla, Drusilla began to desire a playmate of her own.
The Poet, Her lover, Her Playmate.
By 1880, Drusilla had sired the young poet William Pratt (William later adopted the name Spike) after he had poured his heart out in poem to Cecily, a young noblewoman, who then rejected him harshly. She had appeared to him with the promise of bright things to come. A future he could live with. Shortly after Angelus was cursed with a soul, Spike and Drusilla (unaware of the ensoulment) split off from Darla and Angel to go their own way.
Even in Death there is torture.
At some point before their arrival in Sunnydale, in mid-1997, Spike was nearly dusted by an angry mob and Drusilla was kidnapped and tortured by a human inquisitor, leaving her in a weakened and frail condition. Spike, infuriated and full of wrath, killed the inquisitor and saved Drusilla. Spike cared for her, and the couple decided to travel to the Hellmouth in hopes that its energy would help to restore Drusilla's strength and health.
Welcome to the Hellmouth.
The couple arrived in Sunnydale in mid 1997 and Spike quickly started plotting the downfall of the Slayer, Buffy Summers.When he discovered that Drusilla could be cured by the blood of her sire, Spike captured Angel and allowed Drusilla to torture him until it was time to perform the ritual. Although Buffy and her friends saved Angel, the ritual was successful. Drusilla, fully restored, now began to care of Spike, who had been badly burnt and temporarily paralyzed by Buffy's attack. When Angel reverted to Angelus, he re-joined the couple. Drusilla had ended up killing a Slayer named Kendra. The only Slayer she has ever killed.
When Angel decided to reactivate the demon Acathla and suck the world into a hellish demon dimension, Drusilla was delighted by Angelus's determination, and she also encouraged his ongoing sexual attention. However, both dynamics strongly disturbed Spike, who wanted Drusilla to himself again and did not particularly want the world to end. Spike decided to help Buffy save the world in exchange for his and Drusilla's safe passage from Sunnydale. Drusilla resisted Spike's betrayal of Angelus, and he attacked her, ultimately breaking her neck and carrying her unconscious body from the fray.
He tasted of Ashes.
Drusilla and Spike fled to South America, where Drusilla became disillusioned with Spike. Spike's alliance with the Slayer, combined with Dru's skills of foresight and perception, proved to her that Spike was now tainted (not "demon enough" for her). Drusilla broke up with Spike and started a relationship with a chaos demon, and he rejected her offer to remain friends.
Hello again, Daddy.
After Wolfram & Hart had brought Darla back as a human to torture Angel and hopefully make him evil, the law office learned she was dying. Rather then let her die, Drusilla was called in to sire Darla (Charles Gunn commenting that the idea of the 'granddaughter' remaking the 'grandmother' freaked him out almost more than the traditional blood-sucking did).
Drusilla placed Darla in a nursery under a star filled sky, seeing it not as a death, but as a birth. When Angel arrived to stake Darla before she rose, Drusilla battled him, giving Darla enough time to rise.
The newly sired Darla and Drusilla fought briefly before Darla came to the conclusion that she was better off as a vampire. The duo murdered everyone in a clothing store before going to a Wolfram & Hart party with the intent to slaughter everyone there. Angel locked the two vampires inside, allowing it to happen and preventing the humans' escape; only Lindsey McDonald and Lilah Morgan were spared, so that they could provide Darla and Drusilla with inside information later.
Shortly afterward, Drusilla and Darla started recruiting demons who enjoyed carnage, wanting to turn LA into a demon playground. After they began recruiting demons to assist in their plans, Angel--who was in a darker phase due to his inability to 'save' Darla--set Drusilla and Darla on fire, badly, if temporarily, disfiguring them.
My boy, we can be a family again.
Drusilla returned to Sunnydale later on to persuade Spike to join Darla and herself in reforming their "family" unit, but instead, Spike seized the opportunity to try to prove his love for Buffy by offering to stake Drusilla. Heartbroken or as heartbroken as a vampire could be by the actions of her former lover, Drusilla departed Sunnydale and remains at large.
Where to now?
Drusilla was last known to have escaped an asylum killing the doctors in the process. She had gone mad or even more so when L.A. was plunged into Hell. She had experienced herself in a world where she was human or as close to it as possible.

RP Sample:
The world was quiet, the streets where deserted and Drusilla longed for the old days. The days where she and her once proud vampire family had caused fear and death. Where they painted the streets red and the world feared their very ground they stepped upon. She missed the days where her Spike would give her the gift of himself. The stars had said he was different and Miss Edith had said Spike was hers. She saw something in Spike that nobody ever would. He could give her love. But that love was not for her. It was for someone else now. It was for the sunshine that took her William away.
Growling Drusilla danced her way down the midnight painted streets. "A pity no one wants to play. Princess feels utterly upset at the quiet. Miss Edith has not played... she was not nice." Drusilla sang as she lightly made her way down the city streets.
Nothing seemed to be stirring and that bothered the vampiress. This place was surely a world of evil. A place were the creatures of the night crawled out of the drakness and spred their evil. She had in fact been to Los Angeles before and she knew it was in fact inhabited with vampires and demons trying their hand on killing whatever was good and spilling blood like confetti on New Years Eve.
The click of her heels could be heard as she approached an alleyway. With a smile she whirled to opening and shifted into her demon visage. "Come out and play, Mummy won't bite... much." Her voice was sickly sweet as she spoke to the vampire that sat in the dark.
"You aren't afraid THEY will come?"
Drusilla laughed and held out a delicate hand as the vampire slunk out of the darkness and into the street light for her to see. He was so much like her William before he was turned, but this one was turned. She hummed a slight tune and tilted her head. "The stars say the sunshine has brightened. Has she brightened?"
"Listen lady, I don't know what you're saying, but you need to be careful. The Slayers will kill you."
Drusilla hissed at the word Slayer, it brought up memories of her Spike that she so desperately wanted to vanish. The Slayer had taken her boy away from her and now she had gone and made the world full of Slayers. She knew, she knew more than people understood. Drusilla had seen it, the death and destruction the Slayers caused each other. And when it happened she'd bath in it. The chaos would be healing energy to her and she would once again dance in the world freely when the Slayers started a war.
