Veronica

Veronica Renata Santangelo, is a Brotherhood of Steel Scribe who can be found at the 188 Trading Post in 2281.

Background
Born in 2254, Veronica is a Brotherhood of Steel journeyman scribe who has been indefinitely assigned to the role of "procurement specialist", responsible for venturing out of the Brotherhood bunker to find and acquire resources that the Brotherhood cannot create on its own. Irritated by what she sees as the Brotherhood’s unrealistic and uninformed views of themselves and the world, Veronica is a perpetual outsider caught between her loyalty to the Brotherhood and troubling doubts about the validity of their current course.

She is also notable for being a lesbian, or at least bisexual. When questioned as to whether she was ever in love, she responds that she and an unnamed girl were in love but her parent's belief that, due to lack of recruitment, all Brotherhood of Steel members should procreate, the girl fled the Brotherhood and Veronica was too scared or stubborn to follow her.

She seems to be obsessed with the idea of obtaining a dress, though her default apparel is too strong to allow her to equip any dresses given to her.

Interactions with the player character
As a companion, Veronica prefers to use unarmed weapons, and grants the Scribe Assistant perk.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
- If you choose not to let her come along when you first meet her, she will sometimes no longer be available for recruitment. The dialogue options will not allow her to join. (on 360 not PS3, needs confirmation) When telling her you can't have her come along just yet (because of full party), you may not receive her as a companion sometimes, even after making one party member leave. After making one party member leave and talking to her again, you receive the option to have her come along, on selecting that option she will say her usual dialog, then a choice option pops up only leaving you to choose to tell her she can not come along just yet. This bug does not seem to happen to everyone. On the 360 version Veronica's powerfist will dissapeared and be replaced by an oversized hand. This happened while in vault 34, reloading can fix the problem.(need confirmation on PS3)

- If you have Veronica and ED-E, she might disappear forever. If you are on the main quest and you go up to the lucky 38 holtel, Victor will ask you to leave your friends behind, if you do and then come back out she will be gone but ED-E will still be there.
