Belle Bonny

 is the 55-year old owner of the Muddy Rudder in Rivet City. Apart from being one of Rivet City's merchants, Bonny can provide clues for two Miscellaneous Quests.

General Information
The acerbic proprietor of the Muddy Rudder, Rivet City's "working man's" bar, Belle Bonny is known for her sharp tongue, unswerving dedication to making money, and unceasing supply of alcohol. Gossip around Rivet city speaks volumes about the Muddy Rudder and, by its extension, its owner. Brawls are a common occurrence in Bonny's establishment, and, rather than pay for new furniture, Bonny typically scrounges replacements from unused portions of the ship. Bonny rarely ventures out of her bar, however, and keeps longer hours than most other establishments in Rivet City, including her closest competition, the Weatherly Hotel. Only those about at the very small hours of the morning will find the bar closed.

Nothing is known regarding Bonny's past, and the tight-lipped bartender is unlikely to let on any secrets.

Offending Bonny is hardly a difficult matter; most seem to manage the feat merely by addressing her. Getting information out of her, however, is difficult. Generally, only those persons who are particularly adept with words can wheedle information from Bonny.

Significance
By and large, Belle Bonny is an easily-avoided side character. She offers no quests, and does not make any significant contributions to quests that cannot be had from other NPCs.

Regarding the case of The Replicated Man, Bonny can provide some information and another breadcrumb on the trail of holodisks, but offers nothing conclusive.

Bonny can also provide a clue to the whereabouts of Pinkerton, Rivet City's missing founder. However, without information from other NPCs who mostly reside in the Marketplace, the quest cannot be fulfilled, making Bonny's contribution far less valuable.

If you kill her, you can loot a key that goes to a large chest in her bar. Inside you can find about 100 Caps, some Stim Packs and more. You get some bad karma but nothing else seem to change.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout 3.
