Dale Barnhard

X is a person, a cultural syndoche, & a composite character who is (as was once said about the Childe Harold) "bad, sad & dangerous to know". Also quite fascinating, but she needs other people in her life to give her corporality, without them she doesn't exist. I am by turns annoyed & sympathetic towards the narrator & hope that she is in a better place after the self-exorcism of creating the biography.
