# O-lo-a — Tarzan the Terrible character guide

> O-lo-a in Tarzan the Terrible by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** O-lo-a (Like-star-light)

**First appearance:** 0007-viii-a-lur

## Snapshot

The Ho-don princess whose stolen guest ignites a chief's ambition and whose name Tarzan invokes when he demands her return.

## Who they are

O-lo-a, daughter of King Ko-tan, is the princess from whose apartments Jane was taken, making her the quiet cause of the confrontation at Tu-lur. Her name is the leverage Tarzan uses when he walks alone into Mo-sar's hostile city, and her position at court places her near every faction—king, priest, and foreign warrior—that will decide the fate of the ape-man's family. Even in absence, her presence shapes the alliances and resentments that drive the middle of the book.
