Alejandra Torres is a freedwoman working with Hannibal Hamlin as a teacher at the Temple of the Union .
==Background==
Alejandra is a quiet woman of great intelligence.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.59: "Alejandra TorresAlejandra was an historian and a tinkerer, and she was a slave for 4 of her 22 years. Hannibal bought her just over a year ago, and promptly freed her. She is quiet and smart, and has the best understanding of science and machinery of anyone in the Temple of the Union, which isn't saying much."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census) She was captured by slavers at 17 and sold into slavery. Her enslaver forced her to have sex, and seemed to like her well enough to provide her with an education, including the ability to read and write, history, mathematics and basic science. After he married, his new wife demanded that Alejandra be sold. After four years in captivity, Alejandra was sold again, this time to Hannibal Hamlin, who promptly returned her freedom.The Lone Wanderer: "So, you used to be a slave?"Alejandra Torres: "Yes. For four years. I was young and pretty. I don't need to tell you what my duties were. He liked me enough to educate me. I learned reading, history, math, and even some science. When my master married, his wife insisted I get sold. Hannibal bought me and freed me."(Alejandra Torres' dialogue)
A free person again at 21, Alejandra joined Hannibal, becoming the group's teacher, historian, and tinkerer.The Lone Wanderer: "What do you do here?"Alejandra Torres: "I'm an historian. I also tinker with pre-war machines. My dream is to build a shrine to the great Abraham Lincoln."(Alejandra Torres' dialogue) She helps educate the group, starting with basic literacy. Caleb Smith is one of her students, and would like nothing more than becoming someone more significant, but Alejandra maintains a professional distance.Alejandra Torres: "Caleb, have you been practicing your reading?"Caleb Smith: "I've almost finished that book, Alejandra. Maybe you could tell me what it means tonight. By the fire. Together. Alone."Alejandra Torres: "I don't think that would be a good idea, Caleb. How about we talk about it tomorrow morning? Maybe during your lesson."(Caleb Smith and Alejandra Torres' dialogue) She also works with him on reconstructing the Gettysburg Address, gathering references so that Smith can restore the inscription.Hannibal Hamlin: "Have you found any references to Lincoln's Memorial? Caleb is still struggling with the translation."Alejandra Torres: "Just the ones I already gave him. There might be some in the museum though."(Hannibal Hamlin and Alejandra Torres' dialogue) She is also trying her best to accommodate Bill Seward, one of the victims of slavers who found refuge at the Temple.Bill Seward: "Hello, ma'am. How goes your studying today?"Alejandra Torres: "I've been reading about Abraham Lincoln. He was a very great man, Bill. A very great man."(Bill Seward and Alejandra Torres' dialogue) In general, she is not fond of violence, but works with Simone Cameron nonetheless.Alejandra Torres: "I hate guns. Besides, the pen is mightier than the sword. Or the assault rifle."(Alejandra Torres' dialogue)
Alejandra is fiercely loyal to Hamlin and fully believes in the dream of once more building a world in which all men are created equal and free.The Lone Wanderer: "Why do you think I should swear my allegiance to this place?"Alejandra Torres: "We keep the dream alive. The dream of a free world where all men are created equal. Hannibal has plans to abolish slavery everywhere. What more noble goal is there?"(Alejandra Torres' dialogue) While she trusts him with her own life, she also believes that everyone should make up their own mind about following him.The Lone Wanderer: "Who is this Hannibal guy, anyway?"Alejandra Torres: "He's a man with a dream. If you want to know more than that, you should ask him, not me. I trust him with my life, but you'll have to make up your own mind."(Alejandra Torres' dialogue) Her goal once the Lincoln memorial is liberated is to build a shrine to Abraham Lincoln and establish a school to educate other people who successfully escape slavery.Alejandra Torres: "I hope you succeed, stranger. I can't wait to set up a school for freed slaves."(Alejandra Torres' dialogue)
