==Background==
Despite the recent super mutant and raider incursions, she has refused to leave her encampment at the wharf. She is protected by her skill with a hunting rifle and her family, who are out searching for mirelurk meat.The Lone Wanderer: "What are you doing way out here?" Grandma Sparkle: "My boys are huntin' 'Lurks. Finest meat you can get, and it don't move around in your stomach like Mole Rat does."(Grandma Sparkle's dialogue) She claims to have taste many types of meat and says that mirelurk is the most delicious.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.75:"Grandma Sparkle:Sprightly for a 72-year-old, Grandma Sparkles refuses to leave the Wharf, despite the recent Super Mutant and Raider incursions. She's protected by her deft Hunting Rifle skill and her family, who are out searching for Mirelurk Meat. She's tasted all kinds of critters and swears that Mirelurk is the most delicious. You can trade with her, but her inventory isn't great. If you slay her, you can take the key to Grandma Sparkle's fridge, which contains a much larger selection of goods, including a load of Caps. Inside the shack, steal weapons from a gun cabinet, as well as outfits. There is a mattress here." 
Grandma Sparkle mentions that a group of men recently arrived at the wharf and questioned her for information on the whereabouts of either a "troublemaker" or a "dogooder" depending on the Lone Wanderer's karma level. She told the men that she hadn't seen anyone like that and sent them on their way.The Lone Wanderer: "Is there anything going on here?"Grandma Sparkle: "Some fellas came by here a while ago that said they was lookin' for some troublemaker that came from out of one of them Vaults. I told 'em I ain't seen nobody like that and set 'em on their way.	They might still be around here though, if'n you think you can help 'em."(Grandma Sparkle's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Is there anything going on here?"Grandma Sparkle: "Some fellas came by here a while ago that said they was lookin' for some dogooder that came from out of one of them Vaults.

==Notable quotes==
==Appearances==
Grandma Sparkle appears only .
==Behind the scenes==
* Grandma Sparkle appears in a form list whose only other entries are for the unimplemented Rock Crick hunters, indicating that they probably would have been the "boys" who "are out hunting 'lurks."
* A partially completed dialogue option in the Broken Steel add-on would have allowed the Lone Wanderer to ask Grandma Sparkle what she thought of Split Jack's gang. Sparkle's reply is not present.
==Bugs==
* Grandma Sparkle comments that some people came around asking her about "some do-gooder from one of them vaults." This is supposed to indicate that a Lone Wanderer with good Karma is being hunted by Talon Company hitmen. An alternate dialogue about someone looking for "some troublemaker from one of them vaults" is supposed to be said for a karmically evil Lone Wanderer. However, the dialogue is set so that she checks her own Karma instead of that of the Lone Wanderer. Since she is a good non-player character, the evil dialogue never plays.
* Sometimes, Grandma Sparkle will be sitting in the ground, under her chair. She acts exactly the same and gets up as usual.
* The game may crash when exiting Grandma Sparkle's shack.
