Cherry

Cherry is a 27-year old girl living at Dukov's Place in the Capital Wasteland in the year 2277.

Background
Cherry was born in the year 2250.

Interactions with the player character
If the player talks to her about Dukov, the player can convince her to follow him/her to Rivet City. If the player does this successfully (fast travel is advised), he/she will be given good Karma. As soon as you arrive on the bridge to Rivet City, she thanks you and becomes a resident of the former aircraft carrier.

Wait too long though, 5 in-game days or more, and you'll be greeted to a quite irate Cherry. She says, "You're a God damn liar, you said you were going to Rivet City. We've been waiting out here for over five days, I'm going back."

This quest can also be done in return for her stealing Dukov's key as part of the quest You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head.


 * After escorting her to Rivet City, Cherry can be successfully mezzed and subsequently sold into slavery.

Inventory
* Only after escorting her to Rivet City.

Appearances
only appears on Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * She sometimes will aimlessly wander the wastes after being sent Rivet City(360 post-Broken Steel)
 * If you load a game saved before you convinced her to leave, sometimes she will die for no reason. (360)
 * Sometimes certain followers will randomly open fire and kill Cherry after fast traveling. (Confirmed on PC)
 * Sometimes Cherry will perform usual dialog when escorted to Rivet City.
 * Upon arriving to Rivet City with Cherry in tow, the draw bridge to the city will become phantom -- i.e., the bridge will be there but once the Lone Wanderer steps onto the bridge, he/she will fall through to the ground below. (GOTY Edition PC)
 * If you start the Cherry's Freedom quest and subsequently kill Dukov/Fantasia, steal from Dukov, or do anything else hostile while she's following you (including shooting her), Cherry will act as if she's hostile and use the 'fleeing' animations while moving. However she'll still be following you, and will react normally when talked to (except she won't wait anywhere, even though she says she will when you ask her to). You will also be unable to fast travel or sleep/wait (due to 'enemies' (Cherry) in close proximity). If you then kill a genuine hostile creature she'll revert to normal and allow you to complete the quest, however this won't work if you've shot/injured her.
 * Occasionally, Scavengers will open fire on Cherry for no apparent reason.
 * After bringing Cherry to Rivet City to free her from Dukov, Cherry will stay on the bridge outside of the city. In a subsequent fast travel to Rivet City, she respawned in the same spot, except the bridge was no longer extended so she immediately fell to her death.
