Olya Petrova

Olga (Diminutive form; Olya) Borisovna Petrova — one of the main characters of the videogame visual novel «Tiny Bunny». She is Anton's younger sister, who is terrorized at night by a human-sized Owl, Hooty.
==Physical Appearance==
Olya just looks like your ordinary preschool girl. She has green eyes, and her hair is a light blonde and tied at the end in two pigtails hanging over her shoulders.
Olya dresses in a pink hooded sweatshirt with an embroidered bunny head on the clutch pocket, black tights and homemade pink slippers. Official stickers «Olya» in VKontakte.
When outdoors, Olya wears a long, dark purple coat with six buttons, a knitted lilac hat with blue ties, decorated with a golden bunny brooch, a green scarf, blue mittens with snowflakes embroidered on them, black trousers and boots with zippers in front.
== Personality==
Olya's behavior depends on the situation. She is usually a rather shy and quiet person, but when something amuses or interests her, Olya will light up like a bright sun and is quite energetic until she loses interest. She enjoys spending time with her brother, and often needs his support and attention. She is a very sensitive girl, particularly when faced with frightening situatuons, like when the Owl appears outside her window. Watching a cartoon while the room's curtains are drawn helps her relax. She enjoys princess-themed books and cartoons (among her cassettes are «The Little Mermaid» and «Aladdin») and likes to compare herself to them. Overall, Olya is just like any ordinary 6-year-old child, trapped in a broken home deep in the scary, unfriendly taiga. 
It can be seen in the third episode that the behaviour of Olya's mother negatively influences her character. Olya gradually turns into a more irritable person after having to watch her mother and her father argue almost every day. She is depressed by her parents' constant arguments, and at the end of the following episode, she explains to Anton that she no longer wishes to live this way, and dreams of going to Neverland where every day is a holiday, and where no one will be unhappy. 
==Biography==
===Background before the events of the novel===
Olya's older brother Anton became her best friend since she didn't attend kindergarten and didn't interact with kids her own age while she lived in the city. Olya and her family eventually left the city to live in the home of her late grandmother in the unamed village.
===Episode I: «The Owl Will Arrive»===
One winter day, Anton, seated at the table, asks Olya to look at the fox that his imagination painted on the window, and she protests, claiming to see an owl instead. Their father overhears their conversation, and teases Olya for inventing the so called owl she sees at night. This brings Anton into a flashback when Olya refused to sleep because of that Owl she claimed to appear at her window. He fears that the Owl is real, however his parents don't believe anything Olya says.
After a walk, Anton returns to his room to find Olya hiding behind a curtain. Olya tries to scare her brother, but her attempts go in vain as she is found. When Olya asks Anton about what the mitten he hid in his drawer (depends on the player's choices), Anton becomes frustrated and yells at her, which greatly upsets Olya. Anton quickly regrets what he had done, and offers her to watch Peter Pan with him in her room and even promises to draw a triceratops for her. The little girl lights up almost immediately and runs off to fetch condensed milk and bread for the two of them, while Anton rewinds the tapes.
While Olya watched the movie, Anton spaces out, until her scream pulls him back into reality. It had turned night by now, and Olya's eyes were full of tears. She asks Anton to close the curtains because she is afraid that the Owl will arrive soon. Afterwards, Olya declares that she is not a liar as her parents believe, and she insists that the Owl she sees really does exist. She then asks Anton if he believes her, and he reassures her that he does. After a while, Olya falls asleep, and Anton quietly leaves her room.
===Episode II: «Time To Play»===
If Anton returns home safely after his unpleasant encounter with the hooligans, his father approaches him to enquire whether he has seen Olya. They eventually find Olya, who hid under her brother's bed in fear of the Owl. She tried to explain to her parents that the Owl threatened to fly back to her window again, and asked if she could stay with them in their room for the night again. However, they did not believe a word she said and tried to put her to sleep in her own room, but she threw a tantrum until they let her sleep with them for the night once more.
After Anton is beaten unconscious by hooligans (It depends on the player's choices), he has a dream in which his whole family is happily having breakfast. Olya and their parents greet Anton cheerfully, then invite him to the table to eat breakfast, presenting him food from a saucepan. They all point out that Anton is wearing a mask, and start to laugh hysterically at it, confusing him. Then they ask him to remove it, in which he refuses. Olya begins to cry, and his parents began to slowly distort themselves until his whole family had turned into animals with empty eye sockets.
When Anton wakes up, he realizes that their father had brought Anton home, and his father tells him that he found him in the forest (It depends on the player's choices). Olya then joyfully tells her brother that she saw a fox in a dress standing on its hind legs at the fence of the house. Upon hearing this, Anton warned his sister that if she met this fox again, she should run away as far as possible.
At night, Anton wakes up to hear his sister crying behind the curtains in his room. Olya complained about the Owl again, so her brother tried to calm her down, but suddenly another Olya enters his room, the real one, and she asks who he was talking to. Behind the curtain, something stared at him with its luminous eye, which was more visible now. Olya began to panic and screams, asking her brother to drive it away. The noise wakes up their parents, and the Owl flies off as soon as their mother comes into the room. Olya tries to tell their mother that Anton had chased the bird away, but yet again she did not believe the little one's words and took her out of the room to put her to bed.
===Episode III: «On The End, The Wolf's Gray Fur Will Stand»===
After school, Anton decided to play with Olya in the collection of games in Dendy «9999 in 1». Before launching the game, Anton asks if anything had happeend at home, and Olya tells him that their mother had a fit after she stabbed a kitchen knife into a live fish during a quarrel with her husband. Olya further explained that their father watched, and laughed at the sight at first, then started crying, and only then did he help his wife.
She then asks Anton how he is doing at school, and depending on what the player chose in the previous options, his answer will vary from «he had made a couple of friends»/«he had made friends with a girl»/«another boy had disappeared at his school.» In the latter case, Anton will seem to be gloated over the news, which scares Olya and causes her to cry. Anton will only then realize that something is wrong with him, and he tries to calm his sister down. 
Then, focusing back on their game, the player can choose whether Anton loses to Olya/bring the game to a draw, (Olya will be happy as a result.) or defeat her in the game/refuse to play with her at all (this will make Olya very upset and cry again.)
During Anton's phone call with Polina, Olya will ask him to read her a book about princesses so she could fall asleep. Anton finishes the call, then goes upstairs, but he could not find his sister there. Instead he catches sight of Olya through the window being led away by Alisa (It depends on the player's choices.) Anton rushes to put his outerwear on, and runs out into street to try and catch up to them. But he eventually finds out that he had been tricked — the Owl had been hiding under the appearance of his sister.
===Episode IV: «Stomp Your Hooves In Wait»===
When Anton returns at night (It depends on the player's choices), he overhears his parents fighting in the kitchen. He finds Olya standing there in the hallway of the second floor, with tears pooled up in her eyes, ready to burst into tears at any given moment. Anton tries his best to calm her down, but Olya suddenly says that she doesn't want to live like this anymore, and begs Anton to take her far away from their parents. Anton takes her up into his room instead, away from their parent's verbal violence. Anton continues to calm Olya down, and tells her about the events that happened to him along the way. (This is also dependant on the player's previous choices.)
Suddenly, the sound of snowballs being thrown at Anton's window interrupt them. Anton opened the curtains to see that the forest animals were calling them to meet them outside. Anton persuades Olya to come with him to meet his new friends, and after getting dressed, they go out to meet the animals. Olya is a little afraid of them at first, and especially the Owl. But when the Owl introduces herself to Olya, she begins to smile and feel less scared.
Alisa then suggests that the two of them follow the trail of sweets to find Grandpa Frost, which makes Olya very delighted. Following the animals into the forest, Anton and Olya stumble upon a huge snow palace, inside which they see Grandpa Frost. Olya feels an indescribable joy and is no longer afraid of her new friend, guessing his riddles without any problems. When Grandpa Frost takes a bunch of sweets out of the bag, Olya grabs one of them and tears off the wrapper, ready to start eating the «treats» without stopping.

Option: Refuse Candy=
If Anton refuses the candy, he takes Olya by the hand and tries to take her away from the castle. The girl, very unhappy with her brother's decision, almost cries and says Anton is becoming like their parents; forbidding her to have fun. Despite this, Anton stands his ground, and as a result, the illusion of the castle is dispelled. Animals turn into monsters, «Grandpa Frost» tears off his clothes, revealing the face of the Forest Monster and the «candies» turn out to be the bloody remains of children mixed with insects. Unable to stand it, Olya screams, and then faints. When Anton manages to get out of the castle, which turned out to be the «Black Garage», he realizes in horror that he left his sister inside. Suddenly seeing a child's hand sticking out of a snowdrift at the place of the disappeared garage, he runs to it and digs Olya out from under the snow, hoping to bring her home and give her hot chocolate. Suddenly Anton's hand sinks into something warm and sticky, and he sees that his sister was missing her entire lower half Olya notices this too, screaming in horror.

Option: Accept Candy=
Having accepted a treat from the animals or Alisa, Anton and Olya continue to have fun with them at the carnival that has begun. In this option, it is not disclosed what happened to Olya since the events following the carnival, in which Anton and Olya live happily in a world where their parents stopped quarreling, and Anton's classmates stopped mocking and shunning him, could only be a dream or a hallucination.

===Episode V: «Bunny — Tasty Meals Prepare!»===
==Relationships==
===Anton===
Olya loves and even adores her older brother very much. If she is upset or scared, she will run to Anton, in hopes that he hugs and comforts her, and then plays with her. She likes to play with Anton, but only when she wins. Olya also likes to play pranks on him, as, for example, in the first episode, when she hid behind the curtain to scare him. Her official description also mentions that she loves when Anton tells her made-up stories with a good endings or read her storybooks, which is confirmed in the third episode when she asks Anton to read her a princess book. 
Olya is also very interested in how Anton does at great, and rejoices at his great (and not so great) successes in making friends, and likes to joke about his infatuation with Polina if he mentions her. 
When Anton doesn't want to play with Olya or tries to stop her from doing something she likes, she will be very unhappy and will almost immediately cry. She also doesn't like situations in which Anton speaks negatively about others — at such moments, she will not even recognize Anton. 
===Mother===
Despite some indifference and strictness on her mother's part towards Olya and her brother, Olya loves her very much and worries about her condition after moving their new house. She is very scared to mention the fit that her mother fell into in the third episode, and is also very upset about the state of their family, which miraculously keeps from divorcing and falling apart. At the same time, she spends the most time with her mother, which is why she unfortunately adopts the worst traits of her character. 
In the fourth episode, Olya, if Anton forbids her to eat sweets given to them by «Grandpa Frost», she mentions that her mother often forbids her from doing anything, which upsets her very much.
===Hooty the Owl===
At first, Olya was terrified of the bird-like beast that likes to visit her at night. Her fear of the Owl was so great she refused to sleep in her room alone. However her parents don't believe a word of what Olya says about the Owl, and they get annoyed whenever it is brought up. But in the fourth episode when Olya gets to know the Owl better, she stops being afraid of it again even laughs at its antics, but soon the creature becomes her biggest fear once more when it shows its true form. (This depends on the player's choices.)

==Interesting facts==
*You can listen to Olya's voice lines here.
*In the concept art, Olya was originally supposed to be dark-haired.
* Olya is the only character whose voice actress has not changed since the demo.
*In the visual novel, Olya's special connection with the Bunny is emphasized several times:
**The head of a white hare is depicted on the pocket of Olya's hoodie.
**The hat that Olya wears on the street is decorated with a brooch in the form of a cartoon bunny.
**In Anton's nightmare, which he may see after a fight with hooligans, if he decides to accompany Polina to her house, Olya turns into a hare.
***At the moment, it is unknown whether this connection is plot-significant or just a symbolic detail.
*Probably, Olya's fatal injuries at the end of the fourth episode (depends on the player's choices) were not an accident at all, but a completely planned event. As Anton writes in Polina's questionnaire, the loss of a loved one is his most important fear, and in certain options it is Olya who becomes the only such person. Thus, by refusing to ally with the beasts, the boy turns his greatest fear into reality. 
**On the other hand, her death in this scenario becomes somewhat illogical, because Olya would be the main motive for Anton to cooperate with forest creatures. 
***However, her death was not directly shown in the episode, and this may play a role in the future episode.
*Olya is one of the five characters mentioned in one of the finales of the game, at the moment, the only one. The others are the School headmaster, Roma Pyatifanov, Karina and Boris Petrovs. In this ending, Olya remains alive and unharmed.
*It is most likely that Olya's favorite candy is the «Maska», because in the fourth episode she takes «candies» only of this brand.
*In scenes where the image becomes colored, you can notice that the names of the characters acquire their own color. The color of Olya's name is purple: #FF77EB.
