"She has light curls, slanted eyes and dark skin. One could say that she has a Mongoloid-type(sic) face, but the golden hair conceals this impression. She has dazzling white teeth and smiles frequently; it's beautiful, because Willow only smiles when she wants to. She loves gold, wears rings, bracelets, and has copper [...] earrings in her ears."
Her name is Willow. The older children called her Verba in the Polyhedron from a young age, when she could hardly pronounce her name. She believes she will die soon and “is in a hurry to live”. She is adorned with gold not for the sake of beauty, but because she believes in the saving power of amulets. Afraid of black cats, manholes, odd and even steps, the number "13" in all its manifestations, etc. She is obsessed with a prejudice according to which her thought has a unique quality: as soon as she imagines an event, it will certainly come true. This is probably why she makes a lot of noise and moves constantly - motor activity eliminates mental activity. She blames herself for the beginning of the epidemic, which Willow had a detailed and long nightmare about in August."
