Willow Mellow

Willow Mellow (Вера Верба, Vera Verba) is a young dancer encountered during Day 5 as either the Bachelor or 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. Anna Angel describes her as a performer that Var cares tremendously for as means to blackmail him.

Bachelor's Route
On Day 5, Willow Mellow is visited by the Bachelor by request of the Haruspex and Var. After speaking with Anna Angel and agreeing to blackmail Var into giving her some money, Var requests that the Bachelor reintroduce him to his daughter, as he is acting as concerned as he can be for his daughter during the outbreak. Meanwhile, Haruspex requires a living heart infected with the Plague, and knows that Willow Mellow is potentially at risk for disease.

Willow Mellow agrees to meet with her father near Isidor Burakh's House. She is murdered by the Haruspex before Var arrives.

Haruspex's Route
On Day 5, Willow Mellow is one of the few options that the Haruspex has to extract a living heart from. If she is chosen, he will murder her in the Blind Backyard. However, he is able to choose either a herb bride or a Butcher as his choice as well, sparing Willow Mellow his blade.

Willow Mellow will still die, though it is suggested her murder came as an attack by someone believing in the Shabnak-adyr and chose to hunt her down.
