About Darla From Finding Nemo

The niece of P. Sherman who famously works at 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney, Darla is a menace in her own right. After P. Sherman captured Nemo thinking that he was struggling, he adds him to the fish tank in his office. The other cast of fish in the tank work together to get Nemo out alive--and that means surviving Darla. The fish devise a plan to get out of the fish tank and out into the sea, all while dodging Darla's chances to get her hands on Nemo first. Darla has a reputation for shaking fish in their bags and killing them, something the fish in the tank try to adamantly avoid.
