Faith was born on 30 December 1980, making her 20 days older than Buffy. She was therefore 17 during 'Faith, Hope and Trick' and turned 18 after 'Amends' but before 'Gingerbread'.
Or at last, that's my fanon. ;-) (And it was the date I used for her epitaph in 'Hell's Heart'.) FHT calls her "18ish" in its opening description of her. 30/12/80 is in fact Eliza Dushku's real birthday, and she actually was 17 when they made that episode - three years younger than Sarah Michelle Gellar's real age, but the same age Buffy was actually supposed to be at the time.
Likewise, Julie Benz was 28 when they were filming 'Angel' Season 2, which is pretty much my definitive "look" for her. The Master called Darla "A woman of some property. No husband, no inheritance." I'd actually hazard a guess that she was a young widow (the early colonies had a very high death rate) who turned to prostitution to support herself after her husband died.
