Description
Willow Mellow is a young girl that has been raised by Var ever since her kidnapping by the Ace of Diamonds Caravan. Anna Angel describes her as a performer that Var cares for tremendously and seeks to use this information as a means to blackmail him.

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 the Broken Heart.

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 and the Bachelor learns that she was already ill and takes her heart to 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 the Broken Heart and learns that she plans to meet the Bachelor that evening. After talking to her, the Haruspex will find her outside behind the Broken Heart. He may choose to kill her and 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.

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