Daisy Whitman

Daisy Whitman is a former Enclave Vertibird pilot living in Novac in 2281.
==Background==
An Enclave veteran and citizen, back when the oil rig and Navarro were still flying familiar colors, Daisy was a pilot assigned to a squad under the command of Captain Judah Kreger. Piloting the great flying machines left an indelible mark on her personality, becoming her truest passion. Being in the Enclave mattered little, what was important was being able to taste freedom while airborne. She loved it so much that she was willing to risk her standing by taking the scenic route back to Navarro each time she flew on a mission.The Courier: "How did you like flying Vertibirds for the Enclave?"Daisy Whitman: " There were more than a few missions where I took the scenic route home just so I could stay in the air. Caught hell for it every time, but worth it! "(Daisy Whitman's dialogue) Out of 71 mission, she suffered only one Vertibird loss, barely walking away from a crash in Klamath that claimed the lives of her two fellow crew members.The Courier: "You were a pilot?"Daisy Whitman: " Seventy-one missions and only lost one chopper. Rotor malfunction over Klamath. Hard landing, but I walked away."(Daisy Whitman's dialogue) Out of these 71, a dozen were flown for Gannon Senior, Arcade's father, including the one where he fell in combat.Arcade Gannon: "Since my mother died, Daisy's been the only woman in my life. She was the only other woman close to my father, too. She flew him out on over a dozen missions, including his last. I've always been close to Daisy. There have been some good men along the way, but lovers make poor confidants. Daisy never had children of her own, so she was always there to listen. Being in the Enclave didn't mean much to her. She just loved to fly. It broke her heart to be grounded."(Arcade Gannon's dialogue)
Her career ended when the Chosen One destroyed the oil rig in 2242 and the sacking of Navarro by the New California Republic. Judah Kreger, Orion Moreno, Cannibal Johnson, and a young Arcade Gannon with his mother left Navarro, at first heading south into the NCR. There they tried to integrate into Republic's society but were forced to flee east as the NCR cracked down on Enclave members living in their lands.Courier: "Where did the Enclave go?"Arcade Gannon: "A lot of different places. I only know what I was told. Some of them were cut down by the NCR and the Brotherhood. Some of them went east. My mother never told me what happened to my father, but she and I went south with some others and integrated into the NCR. When the NCR learned that Enclave personnel had integrated, we kept moving to the fringes. It's one of the reasons why I wound up out here."Arcade Gannon's dialogue) In the end, Daisy brought the remnants to the Mojave Wasteland where they put their power armor in storage at the Remnants bunker,Courier: "What is this place?"Judah Kreger: "This was a minor refueling station for vertibirds. It seemed an appropriate place to stash our equipment if we ever needed. I'm surprised this place hasn't fallen apart. When I put it into standby mode, I expected to return to it within a few years, not decades."(Judah Kreger's dialogue) then went their separate ways to find a new life on the frontier.The Courier: "What happened to Navarro?"Arcade Gannon: "After the Enclave's command structure fell apart, it was only a matter of time before Navarro was overrun by NCR forces. My mother and I left with some of the troopers from my father's old unit, the same people I've kept in contact with over the years. Anyone who didn't get out was killed by the NCR. Even some of the ones who escaped were eventually hunted down by the Brotherhood of Steel."Arcade Gannon's dialogue)
Daisy kept in contact with Arcade, becoming like a mother to him after both ended up settling in the Mojave Wasteland. She found a measure of happiness as a scavenger and by 2281 is living in Novac, helping prospectors take apart engines and isolate parts worth reselling.The Courier: "What do you do in Novac?"Daisy Whitman: "I help folks strip down the more complicated bits of salvage they bring in - engines, mostly. The bits and pieces we take out are usually worth more than the whole thing put together."(Daisy Whitman's dialogue) She still misses her time in the air,Daisy Whitman: "Fine weather for flying. It's times like these that make me miss it all."(Daisy Whitman's dialogue) and would give everything to fly just one more time, even if she might wind up on the bottom of Lake Mead.The Courier: "Arcade asked me to find you. I'm reuniting the Remnants, and they'll need your piloting skills."Daisy Whitman: "Told you everything about us, did he? Well, it's been a while since I've had my hands on the controls of a Vertibird. There's a chance I could crash us in the middle of Lake Mead - that place seems to attract aircraft, for some reason. But, if I'll get one more chance to fly, count me in. I'll be there. My part of the pass phrase is "Dear.""(Daisy Whitman's dialogue)
