Drusilla's birthday is March 30, 1828 {Non-canonical - the date is her actress Juliet Landau's birthday. Juliet was 32 when the character's debut episode "School Hard" premiered on September 29, 1997.}
Drusilla had seriously considered joining a convent. Her mother told her that her precognitive ability was an affront to the Lord, and Drusilla thought of it a curse.
Perhaps it was... aside from her sweet and chaste personality, which the vampires would enjoy spoiling, it was her precognitive ability that brought her to the attention of Darla... and in turn Angelus.
Angelus stalked her for a prolonged period of time, and then butchered her family one by one in her home, forcing her to watch. He allowed her to flee, and she sought refuge in a convent.
On the night that she was to take her holy vows, Angelus broke in and massacred the sisters who had sheltered her. This broke Drusilla's mind, and she slipped into a semi-catatonic state, babbling to herself. Angelus tortured her physically before finally turning her into a vampire. The year was 1860.
{The timeline is never really laid out, but I believe a noviate must work/train for about two years before taking holy vows is possible. In light of this, Drusilla's family may have been killed in 1858 -- it fits with Angelus's cruel nature that he would leave her alone for two years, long enough for Drusilla to believe she is safe, before violently ripping that illusion away.}
