“Really? That's great! I'll let everyone know! You're a real hero you know that?”
Red is the doctor and de facto mayor of Big Town in 2277.
Background[]
Intelligent, slightly sarcastic, and motherly, Red is Big Town's doctor in residence. She previously taught Lucy her medical knowledge so Little Lamplight would be safer, and the two had a sisterly relationship.
Red is on an enforced leave thanks to the current kidnapping sweeps by super mutants in the local area. Her nickname stems from the blood she is always splattered in and her affinity for the color. She runs the clinic in Big Town, and she is the unofficial mayor and an old girlfriend of an older boy named Sticky Hands, an ex-resident of Little Lamplight.[1]

Quests[]
- Big Trouble in Big Town: Red is being held captive in the Germantown police station, where the Lone Wanderer is asked to go to rescue her.
- Strictly Business: Red is one of the targets for enslavement identified by Eulogy Jones. Grouse refers to her as that "hot doctor chick" from Big Town.[2]
Effects of player's actions[]
- Once freed from the super mutants, Red will resume selling medical supplies in Big Town.
- If the Lone Wanderer heals Timebomb, Red will say she is impressed with their medical skills and that they're clearly a better doctor than she is. She will then heal the Lone Wanderer for free from then on.
- If the Lone Wanderer frees Red and returns her to Big Town, she may still die during the super mutant raid that happens soon after. Even if the Lone Wanderer frees Red and defends Big Town from the super mutants, Red's death will cause Three Dog to report as if the Lone Wanderer chose not to help at all and calls them an asshole.
Other interactions[]
- After being freed she will follow the Lone Wanderer until they return to Big Town.
- Red can also be bribed (100 caps) to gather info for The Replicated Man quest before speaking to Mr. Pinkerton in regards to a lipoplasticator or micro dermal graftilizer, this can alternatively be achieved by a Speech check or the Medicine skill.

Notable quotes[]
- "Really? That's great! I'll let everyone know! You're a real hero you know that?"
- "I'm about as in charge as a mother leading her kids out of a warzone. This isn't exactly a nice little city with a mayor and town council."
- "Yep. As long as you've still got the ass to sit down on, I can fix you up. I'm also in the market for medical supplies."
Appearances[]
Red appears only in Fallout 3.
Bugs[]
- If one enslaved Red in accordance with the quest Strictly Business, she can be found in the slave house at Paradise Falls. If all the slavers are killed and Red is freed from the collar, she will return to Big Town but will not speak to the Lone Wanderer thereafter. A dialogue box appears thanking them for the rescue, but no other options are available, including her healing talents or medical supply inventory. [verified]
- When entering the basement in Germantown police HQ, Red sometimes will not be in the cage. She could be outside the cage fighting radroaches resulting in her death and the quest failing. [verified]
- If one has asked Red to follow them and then crouches down and speaks to her, saying they have to go and quickly stands up, she may remain crouched. One will have to restart from their last save because she will no longer follow the Wanderer. [verified]
