Daisy Whitman

Daisy Whitman is a former Enclave vertibird pilot living in Novac in 2281.

Background
An Enclave veteran and citizen, back when the oil rig and Navarro were still flying familiar colors, Daisy was a pilot assigned to a squad under the command of Captain Judah Kreger. Piloting the great flying machines left an indelible mark on her personality, becoming her truest passion. Being in the Enclave mattered little, what was important was being able to taste freedom while airborne. She loved it so much that she was willing to risk her standing by taking the scenic route back to Navarro each time she flew on a mission. Out of 71 mission, she suffered only one Vertibird loss, barely walking away from a crash in Klamath that claimed the lives of her two fellow crew members. Out of these 71, a dozen were flown for Gannon, Arcade's father, including the one where he fell in combat.

Her career ended when the Chosen One destroyed the oil rig in 2242 and the sacking of Navarro by the New California Republic. Judah Kreger, Orion Moreno, Cannibal Johnson, and a young Arcade Gannon with his mother left Navarro, at first heading south into the NCR. There they tried to integrate into Republic's society but were forced to flee east as the NCR cracked down on Enclave members living in their lands. In the end, Daisy brought the remnants to the Mojave Wasteland where they put their power armor in storage at the Remnants bunker, then went their separate ways to find a new life on the frontier.

Daisy kept in contact with Arcade, becoming like a mother to him after both ended up settling in the Mojave Wasteland. She found a measure of happiness as a scavenger and by 2281 is living in Novac, helping prospectors take apart engines and isolate parts worth reselling. She still misses her time in the air, and would give everything to fly just one more time, even if she might wind up on the bottom of Lake Mead.
