Veronica

Veronica Renata Santangelo is a Brotherhood of Steel Scribe who can be found at the 188 Trading Post in 2281.

Background
Born in 2254, Veronica is a Brotherhood of Steel journeyman scribe who has been indefinitely assigned to the role of "procurement specialist", responsible for venturing out of the Brotherhood bunker to find and acquire resources that the Brotherhood cannot create on its own. Irritated by what she sees as the Brotherhood’s unrealistic and uninformed views of themselves and the world, Veronica is a perpetual outsider caught between her loyalty to the Brotherhood and troubling doubts about the validity of their current course.

She is also a lesbian, or at least bisexual. When questioned as to whether she was ever in love, she responds that she and an unnamed girl were in love but it was her parent's belief that, due to lack of recruitment, all Brotherhood of Steel members should procreate, the girl fled the Brotherhood and Veronica was too scared or stubborn to follow her.

She seems to be obsessed with the idea of obtaining a dress, though her default apparel is too strong to allow her to equip any dresses given to her. Veronica will thank the player for giving her a dress even though she will not equip it. She says "Thank you. I'll be sure to try it on later." Note that (Dirty) Pre-War Spring outfit counts as a dress.

You can give her the White Glove Society Attire (Dress) found from the members in the Ultra-Luxe, which will prompt her to thank you by teaching you a new melee move. She will still not wear this dress, however. As a Brother Hood of Steel member she has had power armor training and will wear it if equipped.

Interactions with the player character
As a companion, Veronica prefers to use unarmed weapons, and grants the Scribe Assistant perk.

If you give Veronica Formal Wear (by putting it in her inventory) she will teach you Scribe Counter, an unarmed move like Ranger Takedown.

Inventory
Veronica also comes equipped with a pistol for use in ranged combat, though she is much more useful while using her power fist.

She will equip the Ballistic Fist if it is put into her inventory.
