Yulia Lyuricheva

Pathologic 2=

Yulia Lyuricheva (Юлия Люричева) is one of the town's residents and the architect of the road system. Both a rationalist and a skeptic, she is regarded as quite a fatalist among the locals in town.

Description
"Calm-tempered. Very clever. Slightly absent-minded. A heavy smoker (comes with being a heavy thinker, and a nervous one at that). Her speech is slightly automatonlike, as if her mind’s somewhere else, deep in the midst of frenzied calculations unrelated to the conversation at hand. She moved to the town from the Capital and worked as a road planner. It is to her that the town owes its fences and its peculiar layout. She reinvented the very idea of roads and the circulation of people along them, as she got close to perceiving the town as a living body. She’s a “scientific mage” in the same sense that the Stamatins are architectural mages. Ironically, Yulia walks with a limp."

- From the game's design documents

Hired by the Kain family to pave the roads of town, Yulia arrived ten years ago and has stayed in town ever since. By Yulia's nature as an observer, she prefers to listen rather than talk. She draws attention to the hidden connections between events and formulates a theory about the effect of fate. While her theory has not been proven, Yulia often manage to anticipate events and try to see the hidden motives of other people.

Haruspex Route
On the evening of Day 6, Yulia will reach out to the Haruspex to speak with him regarding the arrival of the Inquisitor the following day. She implies that she has a sort of history with the Inquisition, and suggests she knows Aglaya Lilich personally. She warns him of the methodical approach of Inquisitors, and tells him that he will be a pawn in her own game. Yulia can be seen outside of the Cathedral with Mark Immortell on Day 7, waiting to be interrogated.

Portrait Quotes
"Yulia is a very smart person. I could never match her intelligence. She's quiet and humble... and perfect. She also possesses a very unique kind of spiritual austerity and purity; she sets the bar higher for herself than for the rest. Yulia has a very intricate way of thinking. I could never learn to think like she does..."

- Eva Yan's take on her "I find Yulia very nice, but I can't stand the way she thinks. This fatalism of hers is depressing and crushing, and it's appalling to see a mind that bright base its theories upon a false foundation. I believe that any predetermination is an insult to the freedom of choice. I guess it all goes back to the past, when she worked with the Dream Party."

- Lara Ravel's take on her
