Amata Almodovar

Amata AlmodovarAmata: "Here you are, Mr. Brotch. I hope I did okay."Edwin Brotch: "Nothing for you to worry about, Miss Almodovar. Let's see... Very well done. Looks like it's the supervisory track for you."Amata: "Thanks. See you tomorrow."(Amata's and Mr. Brotch's dialogue) is a resident of Vault 101, the only child of Overseer Alphonse Almodovar, and a major character . Along with Owyn Lyons and Sarah Lyons, she is one of only three characters in the game to have "Very Good" Karma.
==Background==
The only daughter of the overseer, Amata is around the Lone Wanderer's age and the two grew up together ever since James arrived in the Vault with his child in tow.James: "All right. Come on. Let's go see if your little friend Amata wants to play...."(James' dialogue, during Baby Steps) They bonded over many things, from Grognak the Barbarian to being raised by single fathers after their mothers passed away at a young age: Amata lost her mother at two, leaving her father, the overseer, to raise her on his own. The burden of leading the Vault and enforcing his isolationist policy slowly drove Amata and Alphonse apart, despite her deep love for her father and an innate sense of loyalty.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 60: "Amata AlmodovarAmata is the Overseer's daughter. Her mother died when she was just two years old. She loves her father dearly and is very loyal to him, but she hopes to change his stance on isolationism. She does not want to defy Alphonse but longs to experience the outside world. You and Amata have been best friends all your life, drawn together by the common bond of not having known your mothers."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census) 
The bond between Amata and the Lone Wanderer developed into a deep friendship over the years,Lone Wanderer: "It was kind of my fault. You know how easy it is to make Butch mad..."Amata: " "(Amata's dialogue, during Growing Up Fast) with the two becoming inseparable, best friends. Amata organized the Wanderer's 10th birthday party, when they became a full Vault 101 citizen and received the Pip-Boy 3000. Amata worked hard on the decorations on her own, with Alphonse providing only "appropriate parental support" and a permit for a short break in the usual daily work routine. Part of the reason was that Alphonse didn't want to appear to be compromising his position as overseer and play favorites by granting his daughter special privileges.Lone Wanderer: "She did a great job. But couldn't you have helped out a bit more?"The Overseer: " I gave her all the appropriate paternal encouragement, of course, but I could not contribute extra vault resources. "(Overseer Almadovar's dialogue, during Growing Up Fast) Another was that he simply didn't like the Lone Wanderer,The Overseer: "" in part due to their father's stubborn, insubordinate personality.The Overseer: "What are you looking at? Stop gawking and get back to work. Selfish and insubordinate, just like your father…"(Overseer Almadovar's dialogue, during Growing Up Fast)Note: Heard during the transition.
Amata did not enjoy being the overseer's daughter, and she preferred to tackle challenges and resolve problems on her own so that she could appear more independent to the other residents. This included coming up with ways to manage Butch DeLoria, as she realized at a young age that relying on her father's position would only lead to ostracism and worse.Lone Wanderer: "Your dad's the Overseer. Can't you talk to him about Butch?"Amata: "Come on. Don't ask me that. You know he would if I asked, but where would that leave me? It's bad enough being the Overseer's daughter. If everyone knew I ran to daddy every time I had a problem, nobody would ever talk to me again. We'll think of some way to get Butch back. I promise. But I'm not getting my father involved."(Amata's dialogue, during Growing Up Fast)
This independent streak was reinforced by Alphonse's controlling behavior. He was puzzled and frustrated by Amata pushing him away as she grew older. While she embraced the virtues he taught her (loyalty, honesty, commitment, hard work), growing into a fine young woman in Alphonse's eyes, she saw him less as a father figure, and more as the aloof, distant overseer.Vault 101 terminal entries; overseer's terminal, Amata A lack of trust was likely a factor: While he did not use his position to her advantage, he used it to keep close tabs on her, up to and including being present during Amata's routine medical examinations even in her teenage years. James, as the Vault's physician, considered it sad, as Amata was growing up to be a mature, responsible young woman, with minimal chances of contracting syphilis or becoming pregnant.Vault 101 terminal entries; Vault 101 medical data system, Patient Files, Amata
Amata became the subject of bullying by the Tunnel Snakes, a "gang" that formed with her father's tacit approval under Butch DeLoria, though they shifted from insulting her familial ties to mocking her body image issues, calling her overweight, and making lewd suggestions.Butch DeLoria: "Amata's not fat, she's just 5 feet too short."
: "We're gonna run out of rations if Amata keeps eating."
: "Gonna go cry to your daddy, fatass?"
: "You put on a couple of pounds, Amata?"
: "What's the matter, Daddy's girl gonna cry?"
: "I can show you a real tunnel snake, Amata."
: "You think you're because your daddy is the Overseer?"Paul Hannon: "Hey, fatso, I got something you can put in your mouth!"
: "Watch out! Wide load coming frough!"
: "Hey, lardass!"
: "She thinks she's than us!"
: "Tell her, Butch!"
: "She's nothing, Butch!"Wally Mack:: "Amata's got more chins than a Chinese phone book!"
: "Amata's so fat, her clothes have stretch marks!"
: "Amata's so fat, she broke her leg and gravy poured out!"
: "Carefiul. Amata might eat us!"
: "Been spending some extra time in the diner, Amata?"
: "Let's go into the storeroom, Amata. I'll show you a good time...."
: "Daddy's girl! Daddy's girl!"
: "Show it to her, Butch!" 
Her father was well aware of her situation and kept close tabs on her troubles with the Tunnel Snakes, with their harassment of Amata a major factor in deciding whether to tolerate their continued existence or not.Vault 101 terminal entries; overseer's terminal, Tunnel Snakes
Amata refused to leverage her father's position, leaving her with only the Lone Wanderer as a source of help and support.Future Imperfect The G.O.A.T. placed her on the supervisory track, a path to replacing her father as overseer.
===James and his child's escape of Vault 101===
Her opportunity would come sooner than she'd have liked. When James decided to flee Vault 101 to restart Project Purity, the overseer went crazy, letting his security force off the leash.Lone Wanderer: "I may have left, but this is still where I grew up. I can't leave it in chaos."
Amata: "Chaos doesn't even cover it! It's a nightmare down here! People died that night, and all because my father went crazy to keep someone from opening the Vault. And worst of all, then we found out the Vault had been opened before - and they'd lied about it all our lives!" Risking everything, Amata stole her father's 10mm pistol and made her way through the locked down Vault, rousing the Lone Wanderer and helping them get out of the Vault. However, she was caught by security and brought before her father for questioning. Alphonse decided to have Officer Mack beat answers out of her, which is either successful or results in the death of the aforementioned Officer Mack depending on whether or not the Lone Wanderer accepted the pistol.CG04InterrogationAmataOverseer
 
She was freed by the Lone Wanderer and witnessed them exiting Vault 101 into the wasteland. Amata had no doubts that she'd be able to defuse the situation, falling back on the tried-and-true strategy of smiling and pretending that everything was all right, even the murder of Jonas Palmer on orders from her father.Lone Wanderer: "Must not have been too bad. You're still alive, aren't you?"
Amata: ""
: " Go on, then. The door's open. Time for you to leave. And I'll stay here and clean up the mess you and your dad made. " However, she knew that it wasn't likely: Everything her generation was taught turned out to be a lie and the outside world was habitable.Lone Wanderer: "It's good to see you, Amata. I'm sorry I didn't trust you earlier."
Amata: "You did the right thing in the end. That's what counts. I don't know what my father would have done to me if you hadn't stopped him. I still can hardly believe we did it. The door... it's open. Everything they told us was a lie, wasn't it? Things can never go back to the way they were." Coupled with her old desire to venture beyond the tiny, dying world of the Vault, a rebellion was brewing, complicated by her feelings for her father: Alphonse may have been a power-hungry madman, but he was still her father and the only family she had left.Lone Wanderer: "Your father deserved to die. He was a murderer."
Amata: "Oh, really? And who appointed you judge, jury, and executioner? I know he wasn't perfect, but he was my father. You'd better get out of here before I change my mind and call the guards."
Lone Wanderer: "I enjoyed killing him. Now get out of my way."
Amata: " You'd better get out of here before I change my mind."
===Another rebellion===
With the door sealed again, she realized that isolation would mean the death of the Vault; eventually, it would reduce the population to a handful of inbred remnants.Amata: "But we can't stay isolated forever, or eventually all we'll have left is a handful of inbred remnants!" Her leadership and charisma, coupled with a rising wave of resentment towards isolationism caused a second crisis immediately after James' and the Lone Wanderer's escape.The Lone Wanderer: "That was never supposed to happen! That was the Overseer's fault!"Armstrong: "Really? Well, that would explain a few things, all right. It's a good thing you're here, after all. After that night, a lot of your friends started thinking, "If it's safe to go outside, why stay down here forever?" And that's not the sort of thing the Overseer likes to hear. Things have gotten pretty tense."(Armstrong's dialogue) Amata was the first to speak of opening the Vault and starting building a life outside its walls, which prompted the overseer to clamp down on all dissent.The Lone Wanderer: "Could you escort me to Amata? I need to talk to her about all this."Armstrong: "As chance would have it, she was one of the first people to talk about life outside the vault after you left. No surprise; she always did like you. I hope you can talk some sense into her... or maybe the two of you can come up with some other plan? Just be careful about it."(Armstrong's dialogue)
Predictably, attempts to crush the rebellion only inflamed it. Amata and Edwin Brotch became its leaders, rallying the youth and idealists around the idea of re-opening the Vault. The Tunnel Snakes, once Amata's bane, became the movement's muscle, taking over the Vault's clinic and schoolroom, but crucially missing storerooms, allowing the overseer to try and starve them out. Amata became the sole leader of the rebellion after Brotch was arrested for trying to open the Vault door on his own.Vault 101 terminal entries, overseer's terminal, Security dossiers, Rebels However, the movement remained strong, and many people who resented Amata earlier sided with her, including Susie Mack, who developed a new perspective on life after the escape crisis.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 99: "Susie MackWally's younger sister, Susie despises the Tunnel Snakes, and Wally won't dare tease her, because she will give worse than she gets. She has a secret crush on Freddie Gomez, but no time for you. However, she becomes more philosophical and befriends Amata after your escape."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
While horrified at the idea of opening the Vault, Amata's father was proud of her natural talents for leadership, and viewed her as a worthy successor. In fact, it was her presence that prevented a violent crackdown, as he refused to make the mistake of giving the security force free reign in restoring order, unaware that the security officers were no longer fully under his control.Vault 101 terminal entries, overseer's terminal, Security dossiers, Amata Knowing that outside help was needed to deal with the overseer, Amata set up a distress signal to try and get the Lone Wanderer to return to the Vault.Vault 101 emergency frequency
