Erika Hewsen

Erika Hewsen is an initiate of the Brotherhood of Steel in Appalachia.

Background
Before Hewsen joined the Brotherhood of Steel, she did not view herself as anyone important or remarkable in society. She grew up in a town that was being frequently attacked by Super Mutants and raiders. It was then, that Doctor Solomon Hardy appeared and started teaching Hewsen most of what she knows today, while she tried to help him to the best of her ability. Eventually, the Brotherhood came to town and recruited Dr. Hardy as an initiate, who then recommended Hewsen to them, in turn leading to her recruitment as an initiate. The recommendation was approved by Paladin Rahmani.

Hewsen would eventually find her way to Fort Atlas with the rest of the Brotherhood. She lacks self-confidence and is extremely reluctant to go on any field missions that could put her life in danger, preferring to help the group within safety. She also mentions she does not do well with really big changes. She is pretty sure that Knight Shin hates her, although she highly respects him and his leadership and wishes to make him proud. She once messed up saying the Brotherhood's motto in front of Shin, saying, "Vic adoriam" instead. When Shin requests her on a mission, she thinks some terrible mistake must have happened and she was intended to be discharged instead.
