Riley

Life was never easy for Riley. Born a year after the bombs, strange occurrences happened between the radiation and her poor mother. Riley was born with brittle bones, which made her beginning life difficult. After years of casts and eventually working her way up into metal braces that surrounded her limbs, Riley managed to get along with a caravan with her father after her mother passed, and traveled along with them for quite a few years. While she couldn't run or heft cargo, she could sit and shoot, or drive the occasional cart. 
For many years, it was like that. Travelling around West Virginia with caravans, and occasionally taking stays in towns. One of these towns, she met a traveller in one of the most unique sets of power armor she'd ever seen. The traveller asked her about the rusty metal cage around her lower half. Riley sheepishly explained, and started a friendship, and a relationship that would last a lifetime. 
The traveller spent the next few days finding scrap and carefully welding together a better brace for riley, and even found her a wheelchair to take with. It was better if she didn't walk, and the wheelchair is what she needed. 
Riley and the traveller parted ways after she left that town, but it wasn't the last time. Surprisingly, every town she went to after that, the traveller was there. Waiting. And every caravan Riley went on, the traveller would stop by and buy supplies. While one might be panicked about this.. Riley would giggle, say hello to her friend, and blow her a kiss as they left. 
The last town she stopped in was Sutton. As usual, the traveller was leaning against a bar when Riley wheeled up. She surprised the traveller with the news that she wasn't going to be with the caravan anymore, and that she'd like to travel with them. 
The two got to know each other better and better, before eventually settling into a garage together.
