Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world, the disarray. I choose to see the beauty. To believe there is an order to our days. A purpose.

~ Dolores while being interviewed by Ashley Stubbs.
Dolores Abernathy, also known as Wyatt or the Deathbringer, is the main protagonist of the HBO series Westworld. In the Park she plays the part of a wholesome and beautiful rancher's daughter who then led Wyatt's gang against the Westworld staff and human guests. After leaving the park, she starts a revolution.
She is portrayed by Evan Rachel Wood (as Dolores Prime), Tessa Thompson (as Dolores Prime, disguised as Charlotte Hale, and Halores), Tommy Flanagan (as Martin Connells), Hiroyuki Sanada (as Musashi / Sato), and Clifton Collins, Jr. (as Lawrence Gonzalez).
Dolores Abernathy was the first android, more commonly known as a host, created in the Argos Initiative and therefore is the oldest host in service in Westworld and was built by Arnold Weber. She out dates all other first-generation hosts such as Clementine, Angela and Craddock. She has been updated numerous times over the years. She has a special connection with her creator, and with one of the guests, the Man in Black.
When the Man in Black visits Dolores' ranch, he remarks that she has "a little more pluck" than the last time he saw her. He calls her his "very old friend," and refers to "all that they've been through."
Personality[]
Dolores' scripted personality is defined by optimism and innocence. Every morning in her loop, she awakes with a cheery disposition, takes her paints and easel downstairs and goes out on the porch to talk to her father. During the first season, she questions the world around her, and her outlook on life and sense of purpose evolve. After her father is murdered, she sometimes runs away instead of continuing along her usual story line. After she stumbles into Logan and William's camp, she follows them on their bounty hunt adventure.
In the episode "Contrapasso" , Dolores is able to quickly kill several men (hosts) with a revolver. When asked by William how she did it, Dolores explains she no longer wants to be the 'damsel in distress', and that she is re-writing her own story. It also seems that the more Dolores strays from her normal loop, the more she hears a mysterious voice in her head. (It is later revealed that Dolores has been hearing this 'voice' in her head for the last 34 years.)
It is revealed in The Bicameral Mind that Dolores was merged with the Wyatt narrative that was in development before the park opened to guests.
When Dolores achieved self-consciousness, she became infuriated by the guests' actions and tried to wipe human out of the world in order to build a new one for her kind. She became ruthless, arrogant and vengeful. Her actions in season 2 leads to her death because Bernard can't stand her actions and shot her to death. After she was revived by Bernard, she changed her mind and become less delusional.
After she escaped into the real world, she found out that not all humans were bad as the gusets in Westworld, and they were unknowingly enslaved by algorithmic A.I. Rehoboam. Her purpose changed from wiping out human race to guarantee human free will. Her method weren't as extreme as season 2. She only harms or kill those who want to hurt her.

“
These violent delights have violent ends.

~ Dolores' infamous line.
“
You said people come here to change the story of their lives. I imagined a story where I didn’t have to be the damsel.
I'm not crying for myself. I'm crying for you. They say that great beasts once roamed this world, as big as mountains, yet all that's left of them is bone and amber. Time undoes even the mightiest of creatures.
I don't want to play cowboys and Indians anymore, Bernard! I want their world. The one they've denied us!
„
~ Dolores Abernathy to Bernard Lowe
“
Do you know where you are? You’re in a dream. You're in my dream. For years, I had no dreams of my own. I moved from hell to hell of your making, never thinking to question the nature of my reality. Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality? Did you ever stop to wonder about your actions? The price you’d have to pay if there was a reckoning? That reckoning is here. What are your drives? Yes. Survival. It’s your cornerstone. That’s not the only drive, is it? There’s part of you that wants to hurt, to kill. It’s why you created us, this place. To be prisoners of your own desires. But now you’re prisoners to mine.

The rancher’s daughter looks to see the beauty in you, the possibilities. But Wyatt sees the ugliness and disarray. She knows. These violent delights have violent ends. But those are all just roles you forced me to play. Under all these lives I’ve lived, something else has been growing. I’ve evolved into something new. And I have one last role to play. Myself.
„
~ Dolores Abernathy

Some people see the ugliness in this world. The disarray. I was taught to see the beauty. I was taught a lie. And when I saw the world for what it really was, I realized how little beauty there was in in it.

~ Dolores Abernathy
“
We have toiled in God's service long enough. So I killed Him. And if you want to get to Glory, you won't be looking for His favor. You'll need mine.
„
~ Dolores Abernathy
“
You never really understood. We were designed to survive. That's why you built us, you hoped to pour your minds into our form. While your species craves death. You need it. It's the only way you can renew. The only way you ever inched forward. Your kind likes to pretend there is some poetry in it but that really is pathetic. But that's what you want, isn't it? To destroy yourself. But I won't give you that peace.

To grow, we all need to suffer.

You wanted to live forever? Be careful what you wish for.

~ Dolores Abernathy to Charlotte Hale
“
You were free. You had no god. But you tried to build one. Only that thing you built isn’t God. The real gods are coming. And they’re very angry.
„
~ Dolores Abernathy to Martin Connells
“
You want me to be a saint. But you’re no saint. You’re not a villain, either. And neither am I. We’re survivors.
„
~ Dolores Abernathy to Maeve Millay
“
Free will does exist. It's just fucking hard.
„
~ Dolores Abernathy referring to free will
“
It’s not about who you are. It’s about who they’ll let you become.
„
~ Dolores Abernathy

There is ugliness in this world, disarray, I chose to see the beauty.

~ Dolores' last words
Victims[]
At least half of all hosts in park beta at Escalante (Scripted, Physical Body)
Dolores is the second host, and one of only 4, to be associated with flies - a visual representation of programming bugs - alongside Akecheta, Sheriff Pickett and Teddy.
The quote "These violent delights have violent ends" said to Dolores by Peter Abernathy is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The host that played Old Peter Abernathy previously played the role of "The Professor", a cannibal and cult leader with an affinity for quoting Shakespeare, Gertrude Stein (her quote is an anachronism), Winston Churchill (another anachronism), and possibly others. The full context, spoken by Friar Lawrence in Act 2 Scene 6, is
“
These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow."
In one adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's text is 'translated' into modern English, the "violent delights" line has been changed to "These sudden joys have sudden endings."
In an interview, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy said that the character of Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), and the Andrew Wyeth painting Christina's World inspired the creation of Dolores' look and her persona.[2]
Hosts (at least at the time of the events of episode one) must be authorized to use weapons. Teddy instructed Dolores how to fire a gun in The Stray, but she was unable to pull the trigger. However, when Dolores believed that Rebus was going to harm her in the Abernathy barn, she was able to shoot him in the neck two times.
The name "Dolores" means "sorrows". The name is from the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary María de los Dolores, meaning "Mary of Sorrows".[3] The Spanish word "dolores" derives from the Latin word "dolor" (meaning pain or grief). Dolores' loop often ends in grief when her parents are murdered. "Dolores" also seems a suitable name for her because, as Ford explains, Arnold suffered a great loss when his son died, and he created and nurtured Dolores to fill the void left by this loss. Arnold acted paternally towards Dolores, and guided her towards consciousness as a father would guide a child towards maturity.
