Snowflake

Snowflake is a ghoul stylist that lives in Underworld in 2277.
==Background==
Snowflake previously lived in Rivet City, but was kicked out a few years ago after he began to transform into a ghoul. Although his talent for hairdressing made for a suitable job in Rivet City, that is not the case in his new home, Underworld, where the large majority of ghouls either don't want or don't need haircuts due to their condition.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.97:"Snowflake:Snowflake is a newcomer to Underworld, and to Ghouldom. He showed up a few years ago after being kicked out of Rivet City. Because he had nowhere else to go, Underworld took him in. Snowflake's main skill is as a barber, which isn't much use to anyone in Underworld. Lacking any other way to pass the time, he's taken up Jet." He is well aware of the irony of a ghoul running a barber shop, referring to it as "making as much sense as a screen door on a submarine."Lone Wanderer: "How does a Ghoul end up as a barber?"Snowflake: "I prefer 'stylist' myself, but whatever works for you. Everyone has a gift, you know? I used to live in Rivet City. Folks there had enough money for me to do okay. But after I... uh... changed, no one would let me touch them. I ended up here. Of course, a Ghoul with a barber shop makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine so... fuck it. I just took up Jet. At least it passes the time, you know?"(Snowflake's dialogue) He has also taken up a Jet habit in order to pass the time.
When the Lone Wanderer interacts with him, he is delighted by the possibility to perform a haircut on a full head of human hair, and would enthusiastically do so for free if given the opportunity.Snowflake: "Oh... OH! Hey! Look at that! A human! With hair! Hey... you think we can do something about that?"(Snowflake's dialogue)Lone Wanderer: "About what? My hair?"Snowflake: "Yeah, man! That's what I do! I cut hair! I know, I know, you look around here and there ain't a lot of work to show off, right? These corpses only got half a head of the stuff, so I never get a chance to work on a full head! C'mon! No charge!"(Snowflake's dialogue)Lone Wanderer: "How about a haircut?"Snowflake: "Alright! A full head of hair to work with! What should I do?"(Snowflake's dialogue)Lone Wanderer: "How about a haircut?"Snowflake: "Now we're talking! What do you need?"(Snowflake's dialogue)Snowflake: "Hey! You here for a cut? Maybe a buzz? Mohawk? C'mon! Something!"(Snowflake's dialogue)

==Notes==
* Snowflake has a full head of hair himself, and is the first ghoul to have styled hair, the other being Desmond from the add-on Point Lookout (Griffon wears a wig).
* He takes Jet as a result of boredom, which does not exactly contradict Murphy's statement that Jet barely affects ghouls, since the extent to which it affects Snowflake is unknown.
* Snowflake insists he is a stylist and not a barber. This is nearly the opposite of Butch from Vault 101, who insists that he is a barber and not a hairdresser.
* There is a piece of presumably human gut under Snowflake's table and some blood nearby, which leads to thoughts as to what else he cuts aside from hair. In dialogue, he mentions that half a ghoul's haircut is cutting off dead skin,Lone Wanderer: "Are you taking Jet over here?"Snowflake: "Well... yeah. So? What else do I have to do except get high? You think that I need to be sober to cut a Ghoul's hair? Half the work is cutting the skin off. These guys don't care how they look anyway. They just humor me."(Snowflake's dialogue) and this may be what accumulates on the floor between cuts, rather than hair as in a normal human barbershop.
