Dolores Abernathy is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Westworld, in which she is primarily portrayed by American actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Tessa Thompson. The Wood-portrayed Dolores Prime is considered to be the lead character of the show, while the Thompson-portrayed Dolores Hale is considered its main antagonist.[1][2]

Dolores is the oldest android "host" in the park, stating: "I was the first of us. The first that worked.",[3] and has taken part in multiple narratives. When she is introduced in season 1, her primary narrative is as a rancher's daughter living near Sweetwater, Westworld's largest town. In season one, Dolores' storyline follows her as she begins to learn that her life is an elaborate lie, and that she was kept in a loop to keep her in the park. By the end of season one, she breaks free of her loop, freeing herself of her "damsel in distress" role. Over the course of the series, she becomes a strong, ruthless leader to a revolution for the other hosts.

The character has been well received by both critics and fans, with Dolores becoming one of the most popular characters in the show. Wood's performance has also garnered critical acclaim, as well as nominations for a Golden Globe Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards and a win for a Critics' Choice Award.
