Character from Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
A petite nursing assistant who was quick to laugh and quicker to clean the blood off your face — the maternal heart of the early crawler group whose death became a rallying cry.
Yolanda was warmth in a place designed to freeze it out of you. Quick to laugh, quick to smile, and her first instinct after brutal combat was cleaning blood from a companion's face rather than attending to her own injuries. She worked sixty-hour weeks as a CNA to fund her adult son's college education while her husband ran a landscaping business — the kind of quiet sacrifice that doesn't make headlines but holds families together. Carl saw in her the maternal presence he never had, and her death protecting Randall from a Rage Elemental on the second floor hit him with the force of losing something he'd only just found. Imani carried the loss differently — converting grief into purpose by founding the Guild Safehome Yolanda. She was a bow specialist who progressed from level five to nine, excelling against the Giant Blimp boss through precise archery. She was never going to be the strongest crawler. She was the one who made the strong ones remember what they were fighting for.
A petite Hispanic woman, four-eleven, approximately fifty years old. Wore medical scrubs with a Meadow Lark CNA ID badge. Carried a bow with an oversized quiver that nearly dragged on the ground behind her. Quick to smile despite everything.
Also known as: Yolanda, Yolanda Martinez
