Trudy (Fallout: New Vegas)

Trudy is the bartender of the Prospector Saloon and the mayor of the town of Goodsprings in 2281.

Background
Trudy was born in 2252 to parents who were among a group of travelers. Trudy grew up among the travelers, and when she became an adult she, along with other new adults, were the only ones still in the group. She decided to settle in the spot where Goodsprings, NV used to stand. The other members of the group followed suit, and the town of Goodsprings was born again, with Trudy as the mayor.

Behind the scenes

 * At some point during development she was likely named Ruby, as some of her dialogue strings are named VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic.


 * Trudy is likely based on the fictional Arizona saloonkeeper Vienna played by Joan Crawford in the 1954 film Johnny Guitar, for which the song of the same name featured on the Fallout: New Vegas soundtrack was written and performed.

Bugs

 * If Trudy is not spoken to before finishing "They Went That-a-Way", she will not display the proper dialogue option to initiate the unmarked quest, Trudy's Radio Repair.
 * Trudy can sometimes wander off from Goodsprings and walk to Hidden Valley. The reason for this may be killing Sunny or Ringo while still maintaining a higher than neutral reputation with Goodsprings.
