Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/America

America is a member of the Crusaders, and possible companion found at the RobCo Tower.

Background
America was born with a rare condition called congenital analgesia (inability to feel physical pain). Her parents tried to keep her condition a secret. She raised in the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel, living in Bunker Zeta with her parents until her early teens. She knew an elderly lady named Lylee who'd give her sweet rolls.

When she was 15, she was doing scribe work when she accidentally dropped an engine block on her hand and didn't yelp. Other people around her were disturbed. America was considered a mutant by the Brotherhood for her condition. She was kicked out of the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel and abandoned by her parents on a task to retrieve a satellite; although she cried for her mother, she wouldn't turn around to look at her.

After being abandoned, America made her way across the Dustbowl before being found by Mollie Callaghan and subsequently joined the Crusaders of Steel. America felt it was almost like a sign, finding another Asian girl with red hair.

During her time with the Crusaders, America became a Sopher but later quit the role.

Quests

 * There's a Power Greater than Atomic!: Upon completion, America will approach the player and break down crying, initiating the quest God Bless America. After talking to Mollie Callaghan and following her to see what is wrong with America, America will become the players companion and the quest Forging the Sword of Laban will be initiated.
 * God Bless America: This is America's personal quest. Visiting The Green Fairy, Parkers Resturant, Junkflea, Goose Hollow School, The Wasted Angel - Rudy's Autos & Parts, The White Rabbit Hole, Elm's Tailors, Federal Survival Shelter, and The Menagerie will help complete this quest.
 * Forging the Sword of Laban: Mollie tasks the player with finding a means to print the blueprints with America, who provides hints for completing the quest.
 * Forging the Sword of Laban II: America will suggest the location to test the Jericho Fusion Cannon.
 * I Don't Want to set the World on Fire: During this quest the player has the opportunity to save America from the fire.
 * Breaking the Cycle: America will comment on the NCR when convincing Tasha Weaver to make peace with the NCR.

Other Interactions

 * America will make comments on many of the locations across the Frontier.
 * The player is advised not to give America "inappropriate" clothing, such as prostitute outfits. Doing so will give her a bad reaction, calling it "gross".

Notable quotes

 * "Oh, gross! I think I just stepped in-- wait, nope, false alarm." (inside The White Rabbit Hole)

Behind the scenes

 * She is said to be 21 years old in a memo called "Happy birthday" from Mollie found in her inventory, making her birth year around 2260.
 * Nazenthedark assisted with America's initial concept, name, lack of pain, and ethnicity, while Odinsword did everything else, including her potential enslavement.
 * In Nazenthedark's original versions, America would be raised by a fanatical Brotherhood of Steel splinter cult, being desperate to feel anything, to the point of engaging in self-harm. However, these versions were dissuaded by Tgspy on account of being "too edgy."
