Cass

Rose of Sharon Cassidy (aka Cass), is a water merchant and owner of Cassidy Caravans in 2281.

Background
Born in 2244, Cass is the daughter of John Cassidy, a companion of the Chosen One in Fallout 2.

Worn down by years of hard luck and a recent rash of terrible misfortunes, Cass is a despondent merchant who's about to get out of the caravan business. She's smart, tough, and steady with a gun, but she hasn't been savvy enough to survive the ruthless caravan wars that have flared up in Nevada since NCR's expansion. Though she's quick to join up with the player for some easy money, she's still interested in finding out if she's been suffering from bad luck or something more sinister.

Interactions with the player character
During the game, you'll have the opportunity to get Cass out of the caravan business and have her tag along with you. Cass is very similar to her father in terms of combat aptitude and rot gut tolerance. There is an unmarked quest where you can find her destroyed caravan should you wish to check it out.

Completing her companion quest will give her an additional perk. Solving the quest peacefully will give her the Calm Heart perk, which will give her more HP. Solving the quest violently will give her the Heart of Venegence perk, which increases her Guns skill.

Cass will threaten to leave if you have evil or very evil karma unless you manage to pass a hefty speech check. If you fail the speech check, she will scold you but continue following you until you ask her to leave or commit another evil act.
