Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Charlene Yong

Charlene Yong is a high-ranking member of the Crusaders.

Background
When she was a teenager, she discovered she had a gift of "empathy" and "visions" after being accidentally shocked by electricity. Although Tasha believes it as a psychic gift from God, Charlene thinks the real answer is more mundane, suspecting her mother was affected by FEV or radiation, noting lots of people born in her area around her time had birth defects.

She was once part of the Brotherhood as a scribe. She was involved with the battle of Helios One and was attacked by a radscorpion. She was saved by Elijah who stopped her bleeding and removed her venom. Since then, she looked up to Elijah who was also fond of Veronica Santangelo as well.

Unfortunately, Elijah took a great interest in her pineal gland, and it is suggested he wanted to be able to use and weaponize Charlene's supposed psychic power for himself and to use it against the NCR. He wanted to perform a surgery on her to "enhance" her cybernetically. The surgery was incredibly painful for her and done without anesthesia. Many surgeries later, Elijah was unsatisfied with the result and abandoned her in a shack outside Freeside, as he went to search for better technology to make the operation a success. She never saw him again and began to resent her once grandfather-like figure.

Charlene was left damaged, particularly her amygdala which meant she had trouble processing emotions like happiness and anger. She worked with Tasha and Hector Clements in an attempt to make her back to normal. Charlene hopes one day, God will answer her prayer.
