Scribe Yearling

Senior Scribe Yearling is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, assigned to the Order of the Quill. She is the commander of the Brotherhood garrison stationed at the Arlington Library in 2277.

Background
Born in 2247, Yearling is young, friendly, and the polar opposite of Head Scribe Rothchild. She is very dedicated and tends to be a bit shy. A member of the Order of the Quill, she has recently been transferred to a mission to gather pre-War knowledge from the wasteland. To this end, she and her team set up a forward operating center out of the Arlington Library, driving its raider occupiers back into the building. Although she has access to the card catalogs she lacks access to the main archives, she is unable to reach the computer due to the building's previous occupiers.

Naturally as a scribe, Yearling highly values the acquisition of knowledge. She will express surprise that someone would come to the library to look for something as simple as ink. Although one would assume that she volunteered to be posted at the library, it is possible she was sent out on this mission to remove her dissenting views; Scribe Bigsley implies as such when conversed with.

Daily schedule
She can be found in the front desk area of the Arlington Library, collecting valuable pre-War books for the Brotherhood of Steel.
