1. which faction did they side with (NCR, legion, yes-man, or house)?

Original timeline she sort of fell into siding NCR just by picking every “hell YEAH i want to fight the legion” option ghgvhgv her Big Life Goals were always 1) rebuild the Twin Mothers and 2) destroy the Legion. and the NCR are also fighting the Legion so, alliance of mutual interest, enemy of my enemy, and all that. there is an alternate ending where she goes independent but it’s largely similar, still mostly assisting the NCR but with a secondary plan to keep them from fully taking control of the region.

(broadly, she’s pro-independence of communities like freeside, westside, goodsprings, etc., but to her mind they come second to the whole “stopping Caesar” thing. she also has no interest in taking over vegas herself (though she’d work to assist another courier in doing it if they were good friends/partners), despises the omertas, and doesn’t care much for the chairmen or white gloves either)

3. melee, guns, energy weapons, or unarmed?

guns guns guns her build was much too squishy for melee or unarmed lmao

7. favorite companions? least favorite companions?

answered here!

13. how did they deal with benny?

answered here!

19. what is their motive for taking vegas?

she doesn’t, is the thing. in her own solo canon, her goal is always to one day rebuild the Twin Mothers. she has no interest in ruling vegas and doesn’t even like staying there that much. she cares about the people of vegas (well, most of them, anyway), but they’re not her people, not like the Mothers are; it’s not her home, so she keeps on wandering.

(she’ll find it, eventually. just, not here)

In the Furies AU with @datura-tea it’s a bit different because she gets more personally involved with the community, through Moz and through their gang, and makes something of a home there. but also, she’s not The Courier there, with the weight of Hoover Dam on her shoulders

25. what were their parents like? are they still on good terms with their parents?

Her mother was a bold but warm woman, a herder of sheep and cattle, and it was she who taught Jane courage, and to stand up for what is right. (she also gave her the gift of Animal Friend; it runs in the family). Her father was a weaver, a gentle and thoughtful man, and it was he who taught Jane to weigh everything carefully, and think before she acts.

She was on very good terms with her parents, although for most of the game story and beyond she believes them to be long-dead. In the post-game, she is tearfully reunited with her mother, at long last; her father, unfortunately, she was right about.

41. do they like long journeys through the mojave, or do they prefer to travel more quickly? do they prefer using roads or travelling through the deep desert?
