Tandi

Tandi is the daughter of Aradesh, the leader of Shady Sands. She served as the second president of the New California Republic.

Background
Tandi met the Vault Dweller when they helped to rescue her from the Khans, which subsequently kept her community safe. Seth and Tandi were close during her time living in Shady Sands, with Seth describing her as "my girl" during the rescue quest but Tandi sharing that Seth isn't her type. Karl refers to Tandi as "Mrs. Tandi" and she has a son named Hoss.

Aradesh and Tandi oversaw Shady Sands as it grew, eventually becoming the first capital of the New California Republic. She served as president for 52 years, taking office after her father. She was popular with the people, chosen by the representatives of the Hall of Congress council unanimously for each term.

Behind the scenes

 * Tandi will remain in the Vault Dweller's party after being rescued until she is returned to Shady Sands. By avoiding Shady Sands after rescuing her, Tandi can serve as a fifth non-player character party member alongside Dogmeat, Ian, Tycho and Katja. However, Tandi is not really intended for use as a non-player character companion, and she cannot be given any form of combat commands or orders. Her inventory also cannot be manipulated (other than by pickpocketing), and she will wield the first weapon she draws for the rest of the game.
 * Tandi is mentioned in the Fallout Bible.
 * In the Fallout 2 manual, Tandi's name is spelled "Tandy."
 * In Van Buren, Angela claimed that Tandi was assassinated.
