Willow Mellow

Willow Mellow is a young dancer encountered during Day 5 by both the Bachelor and the Haruspex in Pathologic.

Description
Willow Mellow is a young girl that has been raised by Var ever since her kidnapping by the Ace of Diamonds Caravan. When Willow's real father came to rescue her from the Caravan, Var killed him. Willow received a regular circus upbringing; however, she prefers working as a dancer in Andrey Stamatin's Pub.

Anna Angel describes Willow as a performer that Var cares for tremendously and seeks to use this information as a means to blackmail him for money. Willow Mellow does not seem to be the same girl who was the daughter of the Willows' previous owners and only shares a name.

Bachelor Route
On Day 5, the Bachelor agrees to Anna Angel's plan to blackmail Var. When talking to Var, he requests that the Bachelor find his daughter, as he is concerned for her safety during the outbreak. The Bachelor will find her at Andrey Stamatin's Pub.

Willow agrees to meet with the Bachelor in the Blind Backyard near Isidor Burakh's House and go with him to see her father. She will be found dead, as the Bachelor had previously requested the Haruspex to procure a still beating heart of a plague victim, and takes her infected heart to Stanislav Rubin.

Haruspex Route
On Day 5, Willow Mellow is one of several people whom the Haruspex can kill for an infected heart to give to the Bachelor. The Haruspex will meet her at Andrey Stamatin's Pub and learns that she plans to meet the Bachelor that evening. After talking to her, the Haruspex will find her outside at the Blind Backyard. He will also be asked to kill her by Anna Angel. He may choose to kill her as per Anna's request and also obtain her heart.

If he wishes to spare Willow, he can choose to obtain a Bride's Heart from an Herb Bride or a Butcher's Heart from a Butcher, all of whom can be found in the Steppe near a Worm gatherer's hut.

However, she will still die that evening and never meet her father, as she had already been infected with the Sand Plague.

Changeling Route
Willow Mellow does not appear in the Changeling route. However, the Changeling does learn about who she is and her relationship with Anna as former performers.
