C.J. Young

"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers"

- C.J.

C.J. Young is a young citizen of Rivet City in 2277.

Background
A trusting and honest young girl, C.J. is one of the happiest kids you'll find in the Wasteland. She's been raised by two loving parents and lives a great life in Rivet City. She spends her time hanging out on the flight deck or exploring the aircraft carrier with her best friend, James Hargrave. A year younger than C.J., James picks on her mercilessly. Nevertheless, she continues to forgive him for his teasing and the two remain best friends.

Relationships
C.J. is the daughter of Christie and Henry Young. She is the best (and only) friend of James Hargrave.

Effects of player actions

 * C.J. and James Hargrave will run away to Anacostia Crossing Station if the player insults the latter during an interaction. Finding and returning them to Rivet City yields good karma.

Appearances
C.J. Young only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * You may run into her outside of Rivet City by herself before ever entering Rivet City. She will only say "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers".
 * When James and C.J. run away to Anacostia Crossing after you taunt James, C.J. can be spoken to with the same dialogue options as James: she will say something along the lines of "I'm scared, please take me home." The player can respond with both negative ("You're on your own kid, deal with it") or positive ("Sure kid, I'm sorry I said those things. Let's go") options. As there is no way to insult her in-game, the positive one effectively makes you apologize for something that never happened.
 * Even after you've returned the children, their parents still seem to think they're missing, when in reality they may be standing in the same room.
