Capella

Pathologic 2=

Victoria Olgimskaya Jr. (Виктория Ольгимская) is the youngest child of the Olgimsky family. After her mother's death, she is heir to the title of White Mistress.

Description
"At fifteen, she’s all but grown up. The leader and “mother” of the town’s children, she’s the daughter of the “good” Mistress Victoria and Vlad Olgimsky, an imposing and calculating industrialist. Capella is almost obsessed with the idea of walking in her mother’s footsteps, of becoming the town’s guardian angel and building a world of warmth and hope, but without her noticing, her father’s features are starting to show in her. Indeed, in order to build anything, you need political calculation among other things. She develops the theme of children making a necessary sacrifice out of the town’s obsolete things, the parts of its legacy that the future has no need of. Nevertheless, she’s a positive and pleasant person. Her eyes are tender, dreamy and a little short-sighted."

Description
Capella is a charismatic and generous leader of the town's children. She calls herself the "princess and priestess of children". She has an aura that brings happiness to those around her. She is kind-hearted, and aspires to care for the town as her mother once did.

She enjoys inviolable authority among the children, regardless of whether they live in the Polyhedron or not. For example, Taya Tycheek says that "for her they'd swallow a bee". One Doghead notes that while Capella does not believe in the Polyhedron's magic, she does not oppose their views, which means that she can be trusted. While she boasts an incredible amount of influence, she does not abuse it. On the contrary, she takes care of children and does her best to help them—she wants to lead them into a new life.

Premonitions come to her regularly, and she attempts to use this ability to protect and save others.

Future
"My path was my namesake: it was called 'Capella'. Were it not for the plague, I would have spread a heathen cult among the children. Then parents would've lived forever."

- Day 12 Capella, when describing the Town after the "Termite Ending", relies on the notion that she and Khan are to be married. An Olgimsky-Kain alliance would be formed, ensuring a peaceful political atmosphere to the future town. Primarily, Capella views herself as the next White Mistress, with abilities that may be even stronger than her mother's.

She envisions a thriving town that is a "blend of many colors", as opposed to the purple and scarlet of the past Mistresses. Capella states that the Termites will play an important part in the town's revitalization, and describes the role of the "color" of each child.

Portrait Quotes
"Oh, I admire Capella. Khan and she hold absolute power over the minds of the children. However, my surly brother is indelicate and spiteful... while Capella is smart and gentle. Khan lures them in with the liberty to do whatever they will; Capella does so with love. I'd be glad to see her become the White Mistress."

- Maria Kaina's take on her "Capella is to the children what Maria is to us. Whenever she appears, children go crazy, as if they were given an adrenaline shot straight to the heart. The only thing that confuses me is her promises of a new life that she tries to hammer into their heads. She claims to be a priestess—but what gave her the right? Her mother's blood? No. She will not grow to be a Mistress."

- Vlad the Younger's take on her
