Valerie

Valerie is the child of Vic the trader, working at Vault City's maintenance center She is dressed in brown fatigues and metal armor.

Background
She works as the town's primary repairwoman. Unlike most citizens, she is not a bigot, instead displaying an attitude and short temper, more often than not leading to conflicts with other citizens, in particular those responsible for supplying her workshop. She repairs laser turret parts, terminal elements, and firearms. Due to her mother's citizenship, Valerie automatically became a citizen of Vault City, but her mother passed away in the last two years.

Her father, Vic, visited Vault City 25 years ago and conceived Valerie before leaving. He visited sporatically for the last five years. When her father returns with the Chosen One, she jokes that her mother died of 'brain fever' out in the wastes searching for him. Valerie: "{262}{}{Dad?!}" {263}{}{2 Seconds} Vic: "{264}{}{Valerie?! Honey, is that you?}"
