Lydia Montenegro

Lydia Montenegro is a resident of Tenpenny Tower. She is one of several bigoted residents that you try to convince to change her views if you are attempting to help move Roy Phillips' ghouls into Tenpenny Tower.

Lydia runs the store Boutique Le Chic in Tenpenny Tower. She sells junk and Housing Improvements for your Suite. She also sells the schematics for the Dart Gun. She will leave the tower if you loot her safe, claiming it's not safe despite all the guards. If she leaves, you will lose the ability to buy house upgrades. If this happens, the only other option is to let the ghouls invade the tower. After the invasion, Bessie Lynn will take over the shop, and a different shop will sell the house upgrades.

If she decides to leave Tenpenny Tower, she supposedly heads out to Megaton and can be found outside the main gate causing tremendous graphics lag for some reason - at least she does in the PS3 version. Scaring her away or doing her in, however, instantly removes her effect on performance. Same goes for Anthony Ling.

There may also be a glitch with Lydia because I went to buy things off her and she was completely bald, but a few days later her hair was back.

If you kill her and loot her corpse for her inventory key once the ghouls move in or invade the inventory box will be relocked by the new owner Bessie Lynn so make sure to loot everything before finishing the Tenpenny Tower quest. The store's inventory box will NOT contain any "house" items (Themes, Jukebox, etc).
