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[]

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.

* Only if the Small Guns path is taken in Big Trouble in Big Town.

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]
