Lucy West

Lucy West is a resident of Megaton in 2277.

Background
Lucy was born in Arefu in 2252. Aged 25, she is struck out on her own and headed for the "big city," leaving the small settlement of Arefu and finding her way to Megaton, where she currently resides. Even though Lucy is far from home, she misses her folks and her younger brother, Ian West. She frequently communicates with them via letters she sends there, but as of late they haven't replied, and she fears that either they are in trouble, or the letters simply aren't getting through.

Quests

 * Blood Ties: Lucy West asks you to deliver a message to her family in Arefu. This leads to the discovery of her parents' bodies and her brother's "vampiric" condition.

Appearances
Lucy West appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
Lucy's name is a possible reference to the character Lucy Westenra from Bram Stoker's Dracula. They both have connections to vampires, and they were the first victims of a chain of unfortunate events that affect their loved ones.

Bugs

 * Like all other Fallout 3 NPC's, Lucy West might go missing or turn up dead. See recovering missing NPC in Fallout 3 on how to resolve this issue.
 * She will sometimes say "I heard about your little killing spree in Arefu. Get the hell away from me!" after completing Blood Ties, even though no residents of Arefu were harmed.
