Who is Olinda in the novel, The Eagle’s Gift?

Olinda is a double being. The daughter of middle-class non-Indians, Olinda becomes Don Juan Matus' Nagual woman. Don Juan's benefactor forces him to attend daily Mass for over a year, during which time Don Juan and Olinda often sit together. One Sunday he notices her special luminosity. The parents do not approve of marriage and Olinda is quite cautious. Don Juan appears to give in to his benefactor's own disapproval and gets Silvio Manuel to use the sorcerer's arts to abduct Olinda during busy preparations for a dinner party. Don Juan plays the role of Olinda's rescuer, allowing himself to be beaten up badly. Pretending to adjust her injured back, the benefactor shifts Olinda to the state of left side, discloses the rule to her, and she willingly becomes Don Juan's Nagual woman. They work for years together collecting a warrior band, and Olinda departs to the other world with the benefactor's band.
