Catherine (Fallout 3)

Catherine was the mother of the Vault 101 Dweller and the wife of James. She went into cardiac arrest and died after giving birth. Although she died moments after her child came into the world, a DNA analysis allowed her to see the adult her child would one day become. If the player's gender is male, she describes him as "strapping", and if female, Catherine calls the player "beautiful".

Appearances
Catherine dies before the actual Fallout 3 starts. She appears during the cutscene that shows the player character's birth, but the player only gets to see her legs and can only hear her voice. A recording of James flirting with her called "Better Times" can be found in the Jefferson Memorial's lower levels. It can be inferred that the Player character's hair color is inherited from Catherine, since James's hair color remains brown regardless of the player's appearance choices.
