Gladys (Fallout 4)

Gladys was a retired U.S. Army servicewoman who resided at the Sandy Coves Convalescent Home in 2077.

Background
A former servicewoman, Gladys was among those who retired to the Sandy Coves Convalescent Home, experiencing the effects of age - needing a cane to walk - and even mild dementia. Nevertheless, she escaped the facility no less than three times, which the staff believed was an attempt to remind them that she was still dangerous, even believing that she kept explosives in her room. On the morning of Saturday, October 23, 2077 she was at the fake bus stop out front, when the radiation from the nuclear detonations swept through the area, killing her and the other occupants where they stood. Her skeleton lies where it fell.

If the Sole Survivor convinces the front desk attendant that they are there to check-in and that their family already filled out the paperwork, it will give the Sole Survivor the key to her room. Still locked, her room is littered with military paraphernalia. An American flag stands proudly at the door and propaganda hangs on the walls. On her dresser lies her trifold flag, Army helmet and combat knife, among her sea-themed pictures. On her shelf lies her military cap next to her radio and late edition newspaper. On the ironing board is her Army fatigues where she last laid them for pressing. Her trunk from her days in the service lies in front of the windows and next to her clean, spartan bed are three fragmentation grenades.
