Saint Monica

Saint Monica is a character mentioned in Fallout 3.

Background
Father Clifford shares the story of the Saint Monica's Church's namesake, the patron saint of lost children, by way of a sermon. He states that Saint Monica was born in Great Lanta, and that her parents were ghouls. He shares that God tested her and she did not lead an easy life. Saint Monica was sold into slavery by raiders and her only son Ehren was kidnapped and sold as well. Despite these circumstances, she remained pious, praying for her son's safety and preaching to the slavers. After sixteen years, one of the slavers converted and helped her escape.

Over the course of four years, Monica searched for her son. When she found him, it was revealed that he had become a slaver himself. He took his mother as a slave, blaming her for the pain he experienced in his childhood, devising wicked trials to put her through each day. Yet, regardless of this treatment, she would simply smile and say "I forgive you," and emerge unharmed the next day. This ate away at Ehren, until one day when he realized the errors of his ways and freed all of the slaves he owned.
