Isabella Proud

Isabella Proud is a dead scientist in Takoma Park in 2277.

Background
Isabella Proud and her colleague Jason were scientists conducting research on feral ghouls. They had a camp near the Takoma Park factory, with a terminal describing their work. The text of her entries state that she saw feral ghouls as non-sentient and attracted to high radiation.

Isabella would lure Feral ghouls to locations with a radioactive resin. Due to getting some of the resin on her radiation suit, Isabella gained the attention of a ghoul she named Melinda, who sniffed the resin on her arm before moving on. After several days of the group of ghouls not returning to the irradiated pool, Isabella chose to sleep outside near the pool two nights in a row. On the second night she observed the return of the ghouls, lead by a glowing one which she believed to be the alpha male of the group, which she named Samuel.

After several days, Isabella decided to make contact with the ghouls again, and covered her radiation suit in the resin to attract them. Unbeknownst to Jason, she did the same to his while he was out scavenging. She intended to approach the ghouls to learn more about them one more time using this method.

Their corpses are behind the buildings on the other side of the canal, through the factory. Access is gained by climbing the broken metal structure in the canal and jumping to the ledge on the far side. Progressing between the buildings and heading right will lead to the edge of a pool. The whole area is radioactive. The campsite is at the far end. There are a few normal feral ghouls and one glowing one named Samuel, along with some minor items.
