Rachel Watkins

Rachel Watkins is a character in Nuka-World in 2287.

Background
Before the Great War Rachel obtained her degree in organic chemistry. She later got a job playing Princess Cherry at King Cola's Court. She also was one of the two assistants working on Oswald's magic show and worked as one of the Cola Clowns. Being really happy she obtained a job, she met a lot of her colleagues, with which she would later flee with.

Rachel was one of the employees who hid inside the employee tunnels during the initial attack of the Great War, together with her boyfriend Oswald. After the team barricaded Kiddie Kingdom, the people started dying and turning into feral ghouls. As the only 'doctor' she got that function in the group. When her best friend Fran Fowler turned into a feral ghoul, she lost it. She eventually left Oswald at Kiddie Kingdom to keep their friends safe, and went to Bradberton and several settlements to search for a cure for radiation sickness. Her search was unsuccessful as the community's she came across while luckily presumably tolerant of ghouls allowing her to stay in them believed that all ghouls go feral eventually and there was no cure or at least they didn't have the means or inclination to study it in wasteland conditions. Disheartened that she failed her mission but encouraged by the lack of prejudiced encountered she gave up her search and begun her trip back to nuka world to tell Oswald her findings. When she returned she made it as far as Bradberton before she noticed her mind failing and recorded a holotape detailing her trip and recording her love for Oswald before ending her own life.

Rachel can be found dead in the town of Bradberton. Bradberton occupies an area NE of the bottling plant. She has a holotape on her where she records her last message before she ends her life rather than go feral.

Effects of player's actions
If you retrieve it prior to confronting Oswald in Kiddie Kingdom, you will have a speech option to give it to him and he will leave with the ferals, completing that zone. It is better to take the speech check ("There is no cure." or "Go help her." if you don't have the holotape) for the XP, as you achieve the same result.

Appearances
Rachel appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.
