Professor Dallas

Olaf was studying the doctor. He watched her, not as a man watches a woman, but as a cat watches a bird through cage bars. If Dallas noticed, she ignored it, but somehow, I think she didn't notice... That Dallas was oblivious to it made me worry about her, just a little, and made me very sure that I never wanted Olaf alone with her. Her survival instincts just weren't up to it.

(Obsidian Butterfly, page 172, paragraph 5)

Status Alive
Title Professor
Description She is petite, shorter than Anita, and has shoulder-length, babyfine medium brown hair. Her face is small, triangular, and pale with large gold framed glasses on her eyes.
Commentary * Dallas is the resident expert in Albuquerque on Aztecs and she is enthralled by Itzpapalotl.

* She eats veal almost every night at the club, Obsidian Butterfly.

* Dallas is a paradox because she fears Anita but not Olaf, so Anita doesn't trust her.

* She doesn't realize Olaf's fixation on her and at the end of the book, he gives Anita the impression that he is going to kill Dallas. However, he doesn't.

* Her house is a small ranch with faux adobe walls that glow in the early morning light.
