Dr. David Bowden
Yolanda is Mahalia’s best friend. Less intelligent than Mahalia, Yolanda is Bowden’s only PhD supervisee. She has a somewhat naïve, gullible nature, and when Mahalia is killed, Yolanda believes Orciny is responsible. Yolanda panics, and her boyfriend, Aikam Tsueh, hides her in an apartment in the outskirts of Ul Qoma. She is killed by Yorjavic while Borlú is attempting to smuggle her to safety in Besźel.
