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]
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.
