Red Lucy

Red Lucy is the caretaker of the Thorn

Background
Red Lucy runs the Thorn in Westside, an arena designed to put dangerous creatures against each other, as well as human contenders, where "the strong make a name for themselves and the weak are fed to the jaws of hell."

If asked about training creatures, she answers that they "are slaves to their instincts and hunger for blood", preferring not to share her secrets. She sees the Thorn as her master, believing her purpose to be helping others "transcend their limitations." She comments about the Thorn honoring balance, rather than "foolish sacrifice."

She believes Westside is a part of New Vegas "just as much as it's a part of the Wasteland", and says the Thorn demonstrates Westside's self-sufficiency through the conquering of deadly creatures. She cares very little about the politics of the Mojave.

Bugs

 * After sleeping with Lucy, the player cannot engage in conversation with her. She will only say "Lay down with me, my hunter." even if she is not in her room. If she is in her room, the same lines will play, however opening a dialogue box that closes. She will lay down on her bed, however you cannot sleep with her now. Can be fixed by simply getting back in the bed after the act and sleeping for 12–24 hours.
 * If the player chooses to speak with Lucy after she has lain down in the bed (before the cut scene), she will get up, change back into her combat gear, ask the player to lie down in bed with her, and lie down once again. After the black screen fades, she is still lying on the bed in her combat gear.
 * Sometimes when you ask what match is going on next and after you bet, the creatures will just stand there looking at each other doing nothing. You can't talk to Lucy or get your money.
 * On the completion of Bleed Me Dry and after Red Lucy asks you to follow her to her room she'll do the normal dialogue and then walk back out of the room. Clicking on the bed will cause an Autosave and then the cutscene will starts, but with no sound. Once done the player is not able to move, select anything or even use their Pipboy, its recommended to load a previous save.
 * If you kill Lucy while she is in her bed chamber after she beckons you to bed, upon your return to the Thorn her corpse can be found in her usual place on the catwalk.
 * After following Red Lucy to her room she turns on the light above her bed. If the player then turns off the light and proceeds to speak with Lucy, she will change back into her combat gear and the light will automatically switch back on.
 * If the player saves while Red Lucy is lying on the bed in preparation for her "hunter," and then reloads the saved game, sometimes both Lucy's eyes will be open.
 * After attempting to sleep with her as a female character, the screen will go dark as per usual, but when it returns, the player will be frozen in place. You will be able to look in a circle, and utilize the start button menu, but nothing else. The only option is to load an earlier save, and next time avoid sleeping with her.
 * If her bounty hunter duster is pickpocketed, she will occasionally not equip the sexy sleepwear, which is also in her inventory.
