Tabitha (Fallout: New Vegas)

Tabitha is the intelligent but insane leader of the State of Utobitha at Black Mountain in 2281.

Background
She is a first generation Nightkin who served in The Master's army along with Lily Bowen. With the Master's army disbanded, she wandered aimlessly for years, at a certain point stumbling upon an old Mr. Handy named Rhonda, with whom she fell in love (probably due to long-term exposure to Stealth boys, although it is assumed that her mental judgment was impaired to begin with).

At some point she joined Marcus, who founded the settlement on Black Mountain sometime in 2278. Tabitha then rallied all the second generation mutants against Marcus. He left with all the first-generation mutants to found Jacobstown. She captured a ghoul engineer (Raul) to repair her love interest Rhonda, who had broken down. She then fortified the Black Mountain radio complex and formed the State of Utobitha.

Tabitha is now the tyrannical ruler of all the mountain's 2nd generation super mutants and Nightkin inhabitants, and has demanded that all humans be shot on sight. She hosts a radio show with her "lover" Rhonda, but it would appear that she is merely talking to herself as Rhonda is incapacitated unless the Courier fixes her and "Rhonda's" voice on the radio is clearly a super mutant. Unlike Marcus, her dedication to The Master never diminished and she often speaks nostalgically about the days when she served under him.

Quests

 * Crazy, Crazy, Crazy: The player has to deal with Tabitha and her super mutants by either killing her or persuading her to stop.

Endings

 * If you choose to repair Rhonda and let Tabitha walk out of Black Mountain alive, her ending states that "Tabitha and Rhonda went east, through Caesar's land. Occasionally tales of their exploits found their way back west, though few believed them. Eventually the stories concerning the duo were collected and published, and proved to be quite popular with children."
 * If you choose to kill Tabitha, her ending states that "Though some Super Mutants and Nightkin continued to journey to the legendary Utobitha, they found little trace of its existence. Some eventually found their way to Jacobstown, but many wandered off into the wastes, confused and disheartened."
 * If you free Raul, don't repair Rhonda, and don't kill Tabitha, her ending states that she, enraged by Raul's escape, "took the remaining Nightkin of Black Mountain with her and vanished without a trace. Travelers in the region soon learned to avoid the roads at night, as caravans were repeatedly attacked by unseen assailants."
 * If you don't free Raul, don't repair Rhonda, and don't kill Tabitha, her ending states that "Black Mountain Radio continued to broadcast its peculiar form of propaganda. Raul Tejada faced his execution each day, though pardoned in the end. Travelers venturing too near Black Mountain continue to be harassed by Tabitha's followers."

Tabitha's Storage Room: Treasure Hunt
Tabitha has a storage room at the top of Black Mountain. Upon entering the storage room there is a training dummy with a note attached to it (indicated by an arrow on the training dummy). The note says:
