Ava West was a pre-War junior executive of the Vault-Tec Corporation and member of Bud's Buds who was preserved in Vault 31 and later became the overseer of Vault 33 from 2109 to 2121.
Background
Ava was a graduate of Bud Askins' executive assistant training program Bud's Buds, and was selected by Bud to participate in his Vault experiment: The creation of super-managers who would define the future of humanity once the Great War wiped the surface clean. They would be kept in cryostasis, periodically thawed out, and transferred to Vault 32 or Vault 33 to manage the dwellers and participate in controlled breeding (eugenics), all under Askins' supervision.[1][2]
Following the Great War, Ava was eventually thawed out and sent to Vault 33. She succeeded Robert Olsen as overseer in 2109 and held that position until being replaced by George Yaffe in 2121.[3]
Appearances
Ava West is mentioned only in the Fallout TV series.

Bud Askins: "What? No! When you put it like that, it sounds downright morally questionable. They're our breeding pool, the ultimate expression of HR R&D. Genetically selected to breed with my Buds to create a class of super managers. People with positivity, people who make lemonade. People who will inherit the Earth after we've wiped the surface clean."

Bud Askins: "You'll never find out. Oh. He's gonna find out. These are Bud's Buds. My Buds. America outsourced the survival of this country to the private sector. But it would have been insane to keep a failed nation alive. So, we kept Vault-Tec alive instead. A well-trained staff of highly supervised junior executives from my own assistant training program. Because the future of humanity comes down to one word: Management."
