Romanceable: Yes.

Her first few affinity conversations build from Nuka Cola trivia to an uncovering of her past. In her second to last conversation, you find out that she grew up in a Vault underneath a bottling plant in Indianapolis and that’s how she got her name. It was originally constructed as a massive promotional project between Vault Tec and the Nuka Cola Corporation. The whole thing was an advertisement, from the red and white vault suits and Pip-Boys, to enough cola to last several generations.

In her final affinity conversation she reveals that her great grandmother- several times removed- was the model and voice of Nuka Girl. The vault was actually planned by John-Caleb Bradberton as a way to win her over by sheltering her family, given that he had his own plans to survive the apocalypse. Or so the family story goes. She isn’t sure but is inclined to believe, given that her vault was free of the usual experimentation- unless you count an excessive amount of merchandising and who would ever complain about that? If romanced, she laughingly adds that she’s glad you’re not as much as a sleazeball as Bradberton was and hopes that one day she can show you the prosperous settlement that sprung up around her vault.

If, during your conversations, you express an affinity for Nuka Cola, she’ll say she’s glad to find a fellow fan. If not, she’ll show a bit of embarrassment over what she’ll easily admit is an obsession, but only a bit. She’ll pointedly refuse to answer if asked which she’d choose if forced- you or Nuka Cola- though she’s gracious enough to offer a laugh and a wink that give you some hope.

At maximum affinity, she will sometimes give the Sole Survivor caps or different varieties of Nuka Cola.

Personal Quest:

When you take her to Nuka World and your affinity level is high enough, she’ll reveal that the treasure she’d long been searching for is a safe that contains a few of Nuka Girl’s personal possessions. The safe can be found in the Galactic Zone of the park, in a small building near Nuka-Galaxy that acted both as a trailer for Nuka Girl when she was there on special appearances to the park and as a signing booth for anyone looking for autographs. While Indy is excited to get her hand on a few of her ancestor’s authentic props, she’s most excited about the holotape that acted as the woman’s final journal before the bombs dropped. While Indy considers the contents private and won’t let you listen to the whole thing yourself, you can overhear her listening to it on her branded Pip-Boy from time to time when she’s left in a settlement. Sometimes she’ll even affectionately say things back to it.
