Murky

Murky (Мишка Mishka) is a fragile, sickly-looking girl who lives in a railway carriage next to the Station. She is another one of the town's orphans.

Description
Murky is an unsociable and gloomy child. She often speaks taciturnly and most of her answers are short or monosyllabic, which gives her the impression of a Steppe creature.

Because she wanders at night and loves to play in the dirt, she leaves an eerie impression on both adults and children. She detests "scary stories."

Background
Her parents died five years before to the events of the game; Grace states that their spirits "do nothing but cry."

Murky owns a doll that her parents gave to her while they were still alive, which she cares for deeply. According to her, the doll eats the grass that grows near the bull burial. The doll "listens to the Earth" and then passes the information to Murky. Looking closely, the doll may remind you of one of the protagonists of the game...

Future
"My path was called Feed the Doll. I wanted to be with mom and dad."

- Day 12 Following the "Termite Ending", Capella states that Murky will become one of the rulers of the town, controlling street beautification, sanitation, and the water supply. She can listen to the Earth truthfully, without influences from creatures such as the Rat Prophet.

She'll become known as the the Lilac Mistress.

Sticky's take on her:
«We're friends with Murky, even though she's just a little tot. I'll have you know that she's actually very independent. One thing Murky is seriously fond of is digging and playing in the mud. You can also sometimes see her push along somewhere looking all preoccupied—and the places she chooses are usually, like, sinister... I respect that.»

Aspity's take:
«Little Murky is an orphan. Her mom and dad lie by the eastern wall here. They died five years ago. I don't know why—they won't tell me, they're always weeping. As for her eating dirt, that's untrue. I've never seen it.»
