Amata

Amata Almodovar is a resident of Vault 101. Born in 2258, she is younger than her friend, the Lone Wanderer. Amata is the only child of Overseer Alphonse Almodovar and the only childhood friend of the Lone Wanderer.

Background
Amata is the Overseer's daughter. Her mother died when she was just two years old. She loves her father dearly and is very loyal to him, but she hopes to change his stance on isolationism. She does not want to defy Alphonse but longs to experience the outside world. The Lone Wanderer and Amata have been best friends since childhood, drawn together by the common bond of not having known their respective mothers.

In 2274, James performs a medical exam on Amata with her father present. James writes in her medical file that she is concerned that her father doesn't trust her and that his insistence on being present precludes any possibility of doctor-patient confidentiality. James, however, believes that Amata can be trusted to avoid making bad decisions.

When Amata completes the G.O.A.T., she is informed by her teacher Mr. Brotch that she is on a supervisory track.

Quests

 * Growing Up Fast: On July 13, 2268, Amata decorates the cafeteria in anticipation of the Lone Wanderer's tenth birthday party. As a gift, Amata gives them an intact copy of the 14th issue of Grognak the Barbarian.
 * Future Imperfect: On August 3, 2274, Amata is harassed by the Tunnel Snakes gang near the classroom. The Lone Wanderer can help Amata, help the Tunnel Snakes, or leave Amata with the Tunnel Snakes.
 * Escape!: Amata awakens the Lone Wanderer with news of James' escape from the Vault. She offers a gun and outlines a plan for the Lone Wanderer's own escape. Toward the end of the quest, she will be interrogated by her father and Officer Mack. If she was told to keep the gun, she will pull it out, kill Officer Mack, and run into another room. It is possible to intervene before she kills Officer Mack, in which case she will express her gratitude when next spoken to, saying she does not know what she might have done.
 * Trouble on the Homefront: After The Waters of Life, there is a new radio signal in the vicinity of Vault 101, the Vault 101 distress signal from Amata. She gives a brief explanation on the events leading up to that day and provides the password to open the vault door. Amata will mention the Vault is in trouble and that she needs help to stop the Overseer.

Effects of player's actions

 * Amata's Fate: Completing Trouble on the Homefront by destroying the Vault's reactor enables a random encounter involving Amata and Enclave soldiers. They will ask her for the location of Vault 101, which she will give to them. Afterward, the soldiers will open fire and kill her, unless they are killed first. If she lives, she will walk away, and scold the Lone Wanderer; saying to stay away from her - it being all [the Lone Wanderer]'s fault.

Inventory
* Only if she was told to keep the pistol, or during Trouble on the Homefront.

Appearances
Amata Almodovar appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * Completing the Trouble on the Homefront quest by killing the Vault overseer and convincing her it was the only option will have her saying, "I'm sorry. You're a hero... and you have to leave." This is a homage to the original Fallout at the end of which Jacoren says the same line. (Certain dialogue choices may avoid this line)
