The Girl

The girl is a potential party member in Fear & Hunger. She is a silent orange-haired child that will bond with the player over time.

It is revealed by notes that a girl was tortured and had her tongue cut. It is believed that the notes talk about this girl because of the girl's silent nature.

Attributes
The Girl starts with the black dress (+1 Defense). She cannot wear any metal armor, such as the iron cuirass and plate mail, although she can wear head armor and leather armor pieces. Her choice of weaponry is extremely limited. She can wield the dagger found in the hidden courtyard (+5 Attack), a skeletal arm (+20 Attack), or the cursed version of her dagger (+35 Attack). The Girl cannot deal damage using her attack without a weapon. The Girl can learn any of the spell or skill scrolls found throughout the game.

The Girl can be sacrificed in a few situations: she can be killed in a ritual circle, fed to the Hydra, or sold to Pocketcat. She shares this vulnerability with the Demon Child.

Allowing the girl to die (but not sacrificing her) allows the player to use a soul stone to aquire a 'Ancient Soul'.

Recruiting the Girl
The girl can be found crying in a cage on the first floor, sometimes alongside a Prision Guard. If she is inside a room with a closed door, the game will tell you that you can hear a faint sound from the other side before you can open the door. The Girl won't talk nor interact with the player in any way. The cage can be opened with the Lockpick skill, a small key, or a red vial, which will cause her to join your party.
