Detta Walker is the violent hidden second personality of Odetta Holmes, a young New York heiress in a wheelchair, introduced beside her gentler self in The Drawing of the Three.

Detta is the hidden second self of Odetta Holmes, a wealthy, cultured young Black woman of early 1960s New York who lost her lower legs in a subway accident years before and moves through the world in a wheelchair. Where Odetta is gracious and composed, Detta is rage given a voice: violent, cunning, foul-mouthed, surfacing in stolen hours Odetta cannot account for and leaving no memory behind. Odetta does not know Detta exists.
