Isabella Proud

Isabella Proud is a scientist in Takoma Park in the year 2277.

Background
Isabella Proud and her husband Jason were scientists conducting research on Ghouls. They had a camp near Takoma Factory in Takoma Park, with a terminal ("Isabella Proud's Terminal") describing their work. Their corpses are nearby, at the edge of the radioactive pool. Circumstantial evidence based on Isabella's logs seems to indicate that she was entirely unaware of the difference between normal Ghouls and their savage, feral counterparts. The text of her entries implies that she saw all Ghouls to be non-sentient, but potentially approachable humanoids -and engaged in a series of actions that eventually doomed both her husband, Jason, and herself, despite the best of intentions and friendly gestures on her part.

Appearances
Isabella Proud appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * Her story is a reference to Dian Fossey's research on Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda.

Bugs

 * The bodies do not always appear.


 * Walking up the rubble toward the east you can reach a ledge. Once you jump down the ledge, without injury, you can do some extensive walking beyond the boundaries of the game.  Eventually you can circle around the north side of the pool that you find Samuel in but you will get stuck before being able to drop to safety.
