The Warlock's Daughter is a fictional character appearing in the American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Bill Willingham and Rick Mays, the Warlock's Daughter first appears in Robin (vol. 2) #121 (February 2004).
Darla Aquista, the daughter of Gotham mobster Henry Aquista, shares a connection with Tim Drake, the third Robin, and develops feelings for him. However, their potential relationship is hindered by her father's criminal involvement. Darla meets her demise in a conflict but is resurrected by Johnny Warlock, who taps into her father's life force as part of his search for magical solutions. Renamed as "Warlock's Daughter," she initially becomes a magical super-villain with the mission of eliminating Robin while harboring affection for Tim Drake, unaware of his secret identity. Over time, Darla undergoes a transformation and reforms as a superhero, joining the Shadowpact and becoming the apprentice of the Enchantress, also adopting the alias Laura Fell.
