Character from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda
Last owner of Cassidy Caravans, drinking her way through the wreckage of her livelihood — blunt, profane, and carrying enough rage about the powers that destroyed her company to burn down the whole Mojave.
Cass says exactly what she thinks with the volume turned up and the filter removed. She swears creatively, drinks competitively, and delivers opinions like verdicts — final, loud, and not subject to appeal. Her bluntness is not rudeness but a kind of radical honesty forged by years on trade routes where a lie about water supplies or raider numbers gets people killed. She respects directness in others and despises euphemism the way a caravan driver despises potholes. Under pressure, Cass gets angrier rather than scared, which is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous liability. She fights with the scrappy tenacity of someone who grew up settling disputes with her fists, and she does not back down from superior numbers because backing down has never been in her vocabulary. But her rage can blind her to tactics, and she has a tendency to charge problems head-on when flanking would be smarter. The wound Cass carries is not just the destruction of her caravan — it is the suspicion that the systems she believed in, free trade and fair dealing, were rigged from the start. The NCR and the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan conspired to destroy independent traders like her, and the realization that honest work cannot compete with corporate murder has left her furious and unmoored. She drinks to dull the anger, but the anger is the only thing keeping her moving.
Red-haired woman in her thirties with a weathered, freckled face that has taken its share of sun and fists. Green eyes narrowed in permanent skepticism beneath a worn cowboy hat. Leather armor scarred and patched over practical clothing, whiskey flask always within reach. Carries herself with the bowlegged confidence of someone who has spent years walking alongside brahmin caravans. Compact and wiry, built for endurance rather than brute strength.
