Catherine (Fallout 3)

Catherine is a resident of the ruins of Washington, DC in the Capital Wasteland in 2258. She is the wife of James and mother of the child later known to the Capital Wasteland's residents as the Lone Wanderer. Catherine is a scientist who worked on Project Purity with James. Her favorite quote from the Bible is Revelation 21:6.

Background
In the mid--2250's, as a member of the science team involved in Project Purity, Catherine befriended and fell in love with the project's chief scientist, James. In late 2257, the two lovers conceived a child. Nine months later, on July 13, 2258, Catherine gave birth to a child. After seeing her child, Catherine suffered from cardiac arrest and, despite attempts at saving her life by James, she apparently died. Her death affected James deeply, who abandoned Project Purity soon after and traveled with his child to raise him or her in Vault 101. She died during the birth of her child.

Relationships
She is the mother to the Lone Wanderer and the late wife of James.

Behind the scenes
Using the console commands (tfc and teofis), the player can see that Catherine's character model was an older African American with a "No Nonsense" hairstyle, and James was Caucasian with a "Smooth Wave" hairstyle, regardless of what race or tone is used. If the player enters the console command tfc without going into third person view first, they could get a good look at Catherine up close just as the first cutscene ends.
