Dahlia is a fictional character from ''The Southern Vampire Mysteries/Sookie Stackhouse Series'' by author Charlaine Harris. However, she only appears briefly in the novels and the only time she appears on the same page as Sookie Stackhouse is in ''All Together Dead''. Dahlia is the main character in a computer game and in a growing number of non-Sookie-related—though set in the same fictional universe—short stories. She is a vampire and lives in the city of Rhodes, Iowa. It is mentioned in ''Bacon'' that her original name was too difficult to spell and pronounce for people of the twentieth century so around 1925 she changed it to 'Dahlia' for her own convenience. In 1940, staying in London during the Blitz, Dahlia adopted a surname to get new papers. Since that time her full name has been Dahlia Lynley-Chivers.〔''A Very Vampire Christmas'' by Charlaine Harris in ''Glamour Magazine'', Dec.2010.〕 In ''Dahlia Underground'' she tells humans that she ''"perhaps"'' has been a vampire for 900 years, but it is repeatedly said that she is very old, even ancient. There are a few more hints about her actual age. For example, she considers her knowledge of some no-longer-spoken languages to be really advantageous.〔''Bacon'' by Charlaine Harris in the ''Strange Brew'' anthology: St. Martin's Griffin. ISBN 0-312-38336-3.〕 It is also said (in the same short story) that her friend Thalia, who is also originally from Greece and even older than Dahlia, is so ancient that she came across Odysseus "a time or two". ==Human life== Dahlia is Greek, and that is almost the only thing known about her origins. As a little girl she shared a tutor with her brother, but that stopped after it was decided that a girl didn't need any more education.〔''Tacky'' by Charlaine Harris in the ''My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding'' anthology: St. Martin's Griffin. ISBN 0-7394-7369-7.〕 She was brought over (made a vampire) at the age of 18.〔''Dahlia Underground'' by Charlaine Harris in the ''Crimes by Moonlight'' anthology: Berkley Hardcover.
