Nora Brown (b. 2047 - d. 2227) was a fictional character. She was Leonard “Lenny” Brown’s wife before the Great War and the mother of their son, Shaun. She was also a lawyer in or near Boston, but lived in the tranquil high-end neighborhood of Sanctuary Hills, near Concord, Massachusetts. She was one of the few survivors of the Great War when she managed to duck into the local vault - Vault 111 and was cryogenically frozen. She served as a supporting character for most of the episode, “Out of Time” in Fallout 4: The Series.
== Biography ==
=== History ===
Nora was born around the same year as her future husband, which is around 2047 in Boston, Massachusetts.
She studied a law degree in college and received a Master’s Degree. Eventually, she met her husband, Lenny Brown. Despite the two being separate races, the two fell deeply in love.
Lenny eventually enlisted in the Army while Nora continued to serve as a lawyer. After Lenny’s retirement and honorable discharge, the two continued their married life. At some point in 2076, the two had sex in the park, which resulted in the conception of their beloved son, Shaun. They eventually moved to the high-end neighborhood of Sanctuary Hills near Concord, where they bought a faithful Mr. Handy robot butler they named Codsworth.
=== The Great War Begins, 2077 ===
On October 23, 2077, what was supposed to be a memorable day turned sour. Nora was preparing to accompany Lenny to the Veterans’ Hall, where he would deliver a speech. The two enjoyed their morning as normal, when they were knocked on by a Vault-Tec Representative, who had come to notify Lenny that due to their contributions to the country, they have been pre-selected and allowed full access into Vault 111, the local vault. Lenny agreed to sign the paperwork that would allow easy access when the bombs were to drop.
And so then after, while playing with Shaun, Codsworth pointed out the news to the family, which reported confirmed nuclear explosions in New York and Pennsylvania. With Massachusetts being next, the Brown’s, except for Codsworth, all made a run for the vault. They were immediately allowed access due to them being on the list. Just as a nuclear bomb finally hit Massachusetts, the lift was lowered down, slowly enough where the survivors were nearly hit by the shockwave and radiation. Nora and her family took time to comprehend and calm down after what had happened. Carrying Shaun, she continued cautiously through the Vault, going through orientation. She was the instructed to enter a cryogenic pod for “decontamination.” As Shaun complained, Lenny comforted him before stepping into his own pod. Nora entered her pod while carrying Shaun. With that, they have been put into cryogenic sleep for what is later revealed to be for experiments.
=== Death ===
Roughly after 150 years of being cryogenically frozen by 2227, everyone was suddenly reawakened, but there was a mysterious man and a scientist who did so. They approached and opened Nora’s pod, where they attempted to take Shaun. As Lenny, who was also awoken, watched, the man demanded for a hesitant Nora to let Shaun go, aiming his gun at her. Refusing to give her son up, she yelled “I’M NOT GIVING YOU SHAUN!” This forced the man to shoot Nora in the head, killing her instantly, infuriating Lenny. Her body was kept inside of the pod, where it was frozen again when everyone but Lenny was suffocated, while the sole survivor and her husband was spared but put back into cryogenic sleep.
=== Legacy ===
60 years later in 2287, Lenny woke back up and quickly rushed to Nora’s pod, opening it to examine her body, which was frozen and preserved. In grief and despair, Lenny took her wedding ring and promised that he will find and get Shaun back. He closed her pod and left her body inside.
In the end, the man who killed her was revealed to be Conrad Kellogg from San Francisco, who was a gun-for-hire for the infamous scientific organization known as “The Institute.” Lenny confronted Kellogg for the kidnapping of Shaun and the murder of his wife. With this, the two men engaged in a fight. Lenny killed Kellogg and finally avenged Nora’s death.
After weeks of searching, Lenny finally fulfilled his promise to Nora and found Shaun, but has learned he was the leader of the Institute and that he had cancer. Lenny ultimately had to choose between his own son or the good of the Commonwealth, now having found a new family and home within the ruined wastes. Lenny ultimately chose to fight the Institute and his son. Shaun, bedridden from his illness, could not resist or fight, allowing Lenny to win. Lenny brokenheartedly realized that the Shaun they knew and loved was no longer the same anymore and with this, killed Shaun in the upcoming explosion, reuniting him with Nora. With this, Lenny remained the remaining member of his family, with Nora and Shaun now at peace together, watching over Lenny.
