Vera Keyes

 was a Pre-War celebrity.

Background
Vera Keyes was a starlet before the Great War and was also one of the celebrity notables invited to the Grand Opening of the Sierra Madre Casino. She was inside her suite at the Sierra Madre when the nuclear bombs fell across the US, which caused the casino's security system to engage and hermetically seal off the hotel. Unable to escape, Vera chose the only way out left to her, and overdosed on Med-X obtained from the Auto-Doc Mk I found in her bedroom. If her medical report on the Auto-Doc is accessed, the player will learn that Vera was terminally ill and on a medication of Super Stimpaks and Med-X. Doctors were also increasingly worried about her committing suicide before the bombs fell. It should also be noted that the graffiti above her bed says "letting go" which also seems to be the focus of her farewell speech to the Courier once he leaves Sierra Madre. She also was going to aid Dean Domino in his plan to get into Sierra Madre's vault. (Evidence can be found in the terminal in the casino's vault and talking to Dean Domino inside the casino's theater) She was also very close to Dean and he said that "Sinclair wanted her, but he had her first." The Sierra Madre was also devoted to her as you can see Vera's picture on posters around the Mojave Wasteland and in the casino itself. (Confirmed by talking to Dean inside the casino's theater.)
