I think Darla was young, young, young - hit puberty maybe around 10 (probably orphaned) and living as a prostitute ever since. I suppose they might have brought prostitutes over on ships (as a disgusting 'resource' of some description), but it feels more sensible to me that she was either a young child on the trip over or born in the colony (and then came upon hard times). She wouldn't have had much time to grow up.
Also, it makes sense with Angel's skeevy attraction to Buffy. ;)
