Waking Cloud

Waking Cloud is a tribal living in Zion Canyon in 2281.

Background
Waking Cloud is a Sorrows tribal, and one of Daniel's first converts. Daniel saved her life when she was giving birth to her third child, and taught her how to properly deliver children. She became the Sorrows' midwife, and has started to learn about Daniel's Mormon faith. Waking Cloud speaks with a good level of English, indicating she has been learning for a while.

Waking Cloud has a husband and three children, however her husband was killed by a white leg as one of the first Sorrows to be evacuated to Grand Staircase. Daniel knows of this, but has kept it from Waking Cloud, fearing her reaction. Waking Cloud suspects that something is amiss, but trusts Daniel enough to know that he wouldn't keep anything important from her.

Quests

 * Rite of Passage: When asked about her yao guai gauntlet, Waking Cloud tells the player that it was her rite of passage.
 * A Family Affair: Waking Cloud is worried about her children and husband after they evacuated from White Legs. Daniel knows the truth, but will you tell her it?
 * Chaos in Zion: Killing Waking Cloud (or another storyline-essential character) will start this quest.
 * The Grand Staircase: Waking Cloud can serve as your guide into The Father's cave.

Endings

 * If Waking Cloud learns her husband's death has been concealed from her, Waking Cloud turns bitter and resentful toward Daniel and the New Canaanites. She poisons some of her tribe against New Canaanite teachings, making relations between the groups difficult from time to time.
 * If Waking Cloud learns of her husband's death, she is distraught but takes comfort from her tribe, and the compassion of the New Canaanites. She forgives Daniel for having concealed her husband's fate from her, and learns to accept his fate. When her grief fades, she takes a husband from the Dead Horse tribe. At her bidding, he stays close to home.

Appearances
Waking Cloud appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Bugs

 * Waking Cloud goes unconscious, after which she will sink into the ground. She occasionally resurfaces and floats around the PC, but once the player stops moving, she sinks into the ground again. This can be remedied by loading a save prior to the bug occurring.
