Willow is a ghoul who serves as the sentry of Underworld in the year 2277.
Background[]
Underworld's forward observer, Willow is young and satirical, calling visitors to the Mall "tourists" and inquiring if they have a death wish as they have entered a combat zone.[1][Non-game 1] If asked where she came from, she remarks that the Lone Wanderer is oblivious for a sightseer;[2] if the Lone Wanderer protests being labeled as one, she sarcastically affirms that they are "taking in the sights" and "visiting the monuments," continuing with her tourist comparison.[3]
She claims that she is not harassed by super mutants, who she calls "knuckle draggers," chalking it up to them seeing ghouls as family.[4] Instead, she has issues with humans, particularly with the Brotherhood of Steel and Talon Company; she refers to the former as humans with "testosterone and guns" and the latter simply as "psycho," making no attempt to conceal her disdain for them.[5]
She provides basic information about Underworld, giving directions and pointing out that not many of its inhabitants are hospitable, but if one has caps and is not a "ghoul hater," then the residents are willing to engage in trade.[6]
Daily schedule[]
She can usually be found on the Mall, wandering around just outside the entrance to the Museum of History.

Notes[]
- She persistently addresses the Lone Wanderer as a "tourist."
- She will not help the Lone Wanderer kill any super mutants, even if they are being attacked. She will defend herself if attacked. She will ceasefire after the death of the super mutant that hit her, though, and other super mutants will not open fire on her.
- Though Willow says that super mutants do not attack ghouls, when ghoul wastelanders are spoken to in the random encounter "Ghoul-Friends," the ghouls will say "We were on our way to Underworld, but we couldn't get past the super mutants."

(Willow's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Um... Where the hell did you come from?"
Willow: "Nice to meet you, too... I'm the sentry for Underworld. City of Ghouls? Inside the Museum? For a tourist, you're pretty clueless... My name's Willow, by the way."
(Willow's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "I'm not a tourist..."
Willow: "Come on! Here you are in the Mall of our nation's fine capital, taking in the sights, visiting the monuments! Face it. You're a tourist."
(Willow's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "You're crazy to stand out here! Aren't you afraid of the Super Mutants?"
Willow: "Those knuckle draggers? Nah. They don't bother us Ghouls. Maybe they see us as kin or something. I dunno. Now, those other assholes..."
(Willow's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Other assholes?"
Willow: "Yeah, you know. Those humans, like you. Well, maybe not like you, I dunno, but humans all the same. The Brotherhood of Steel guys with their testosterone and Power Armor... Those psycho Talon Company mercs..."
(Willow's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Did you say a city of Ghouls?"
Willow: "Sure did. Underworld. It's right inside the Museum of History, then through the big skull. Most of the residents ain't crazy about humans, but they'll sell to you, fix you up, so long as your caps are good. And you ain't a Ghoul hater."

- ↑ Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 103:
"Willow:
A nonchalant but friendly young Ghoul, Willow is sarcastic, but happy to speak with you. She serves as a forward observer for the Ghouls living in the depths of the Museum of History. She isn't bothered by the Super Mutants (because they don't tend to attack Ghouls), but she's got some particular vehemence for the Brotherhood and Talon Company humans."
