i thought a lot about tommy torini and the rad pack this summer!

i wanted to flesh out the 3 dancers since they all seem to share the same/similar model, and are only referred to as “rad pack dancer” in-game. you can read about them below!

Some older drawings of her

This is my 76 Vaultie, Billie. (she/her) Her full name is Wilma Jane Reed.

Billie was born January 11th 2074, her parents were a part of the original Vault 76 crew. Her mother worked the Vault’s farm, her father was a cook. Both taught her everything they knew and imparted a deep love of gardening and cooking to Billie. Unfortunately, neither survived long after venturing into the wasteland, both succumbing to the new diseases plaguing Appalachia.

Billie spends most days sprucing up the tower of trailers she’s turned into her home(not pictured). She’s built a farm around her small slice of the Forest south of Vault 76. She loves spending time tending to her crops, Brahmin and RadHens, as well as fishing and working on new recipes for her friends when they make their way back for much needed respite. She sketches the new flora and fauna that she’s seen in her travels around Appalachia. She happily trades food and scarp with others in exchange for books and repairs around her farm.

When not at home, Billie is scavenging for scrap and useful items to fix up to sell/trade to fellow wastelanders. She can be found making stops into The Whitesprings, Foundation, Highway Town, Nuka World on Tour. Her favorite place of all however is The Wayward. After the death of her parents Billie found a great deal of comfort in sitting and listening to Duchess, Sol, Jide, and Mort banter back and forth. Billie had grown particularly sweet on Mort McCoy but is too scared to make a move.

Veronica thinks Christine left the Brotherhood to get away from her homophobic parents, but she apparently joined their version of internal affairs and remained even more committed to the Brotherhood than Veronica is. That raises the question of how Veronica didn't know about this, what role the Brotherhood's culture actually played in Christine's decision, and how much Christine knew about Veronica's status, because Veronica's dialogue makes it sound like they talked in person before Christine "left". Maybe Elijah tampered with messages to Veronica. That would explain why she got over the breakup quicker: she thinks Christine dumped her via text.

But by far the most wrong thing Veronica says about Christine is "I'm sure she's moved on." Girl, you can’t imagine how Not Over you Christine is. It is vital to the themes of Dead Money that Christine hasn’t let go of Veronica. She’s so not over Veronica, she went on a mission of vengeance to kill the guy who broke them up. Yeah, he's committed other atrocities since then, but she definitely volunteered for the job when his name popped up on the hit list. Being too brain-damaged to write and getting her vocal cords scrambled couldn’t stop her from expressing how being separated from Veronica has filled her with murderous rage. Can relate.

Say a prayer if you need to. 🥀

She'd been making faces at him all evening. In between the hungry touches of others her eyes always found his.
