This is nifty. I'd just put in the little reference about Dru because I felt it sounded "right," but you're helping figure out why I thought so.
I always figured the reason she became a nun, as well as guilt over her powers, was because she thought it might save her from Angelus, that god could protect her. Of course god doesn't protect her, just as Angelus told her, and she becomes the "devil child" he predicted. So I think in my internal Dru picture, I can see her preying on the faithful the same way she does children, as sort of an affirmation of the spiritual lesson she learned from Angel... she definitely seems to gravitate toward despoiling the innocent and the pure.
