Dorothy (Fallout 2)

Dorothy is the "tomboy" city engineer of New California Republic in 2241.

Background
Her role is to oversee the town's power plant and although somewhat skilled, she is by no means a genius at repairing broken electronic or mechanical equipment and this can cause problems and results in her requesting you fix the power generator if her deranged ex-husband, Jack, blows himself up. She is very fond of her robot companion, Toto, and they seemingly go everywhere together. It assists her in her daily chores around the plant.

Interactions with the player character
At some point, a young policeman will go into the building behind her. This is the trigger for the quest, and she will ask for help as Jack, as one learns his name is, has barricaded himself inside the power plant and is threatening to blow himself up along with the generator.

If the quest is solved peacefully, Dorothy rewards the player with a collection of technical manuals she owns.

Appearances
Dorothy only appears in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes
Her name, and her barking robot called Toto, are references to The Wizard of Oz, a 1939 film.
