Valerie

Valerie is the child of Vic the trader, working at Vault City's maintenance center in 2241. She is dressed in brown fatigues and metal armor.Valerie's character description: "{101}{}{You see a brown-haired woman dressed in brown fatigues and metal armor. She looks like a mechanic.}"(Valerie's dialogue)
==Background==
She works as the town's primary repairwoman. Unlike most citizens, she is not a bigot, instead displaying an attitude and short temper, more often than not leading to conflicts with other citizens, in particular those responsible for supplying her workshop. She repairs laser turret parts, terminal elements, and firearms.The Chosen One: "{146}{}{What do you repair here?}"Valerie: "{149}{}{Synthetic alcohol dispensers, radios, firearms, laser turret parts, computer monitors, you name it... when I can get the tools to do my job.}"(Valerie's dialogue) Due to her mother's citizenship, Valerie automatically became a citizen of Vault City, but her mother passed away in the last two years.Chosen One: "{186}{}{"Trying times?" What do you mean?}"McClure: "{220}{}{Things have been tough these last two years. The NCR has been getting more aggressive in their attempts to get Vault City to join the Republic.}""{221}{}{They tell us that if we were to join, they would be able to defend us from the raider attacks on our city. As of late, these raider attacks have become more brutal.}""{222}{}{On top of all of this, we have ghouls in Gecko contaminating our groundwater.}"(McClure's dialogue)
Her father, Vic, visited Vault City 25 years ago and conceived Valerie before leaving.Valerie: "{195}{}{Nothing worth mentioning. He came here twenty years ago on one of his caravan trips, knocked up Mom and left. Until he stopped by, I hadn't seen him in about five years. No loss.}"(Valerie's dialogue) He visited sporadically for the last five years. When her father returns with the Chosen One, she jokes that her mother died of "brain fever" out in the wastes searching for him.Valerie: "{262}{}{Dad?!}"{263}{}{2 Seconds}Vic: "{264}{}{Valerie?! Honey, is that you?}"(Valerie's dialogue)
