Sweetie is a bisexual female prostitute working for Pretty Sarah at the Casa Madrid Apartments in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background
The most attractive woman in Westside and a house favorite at the Casa,[1] Sweetie is well known across town, and Sarah's highest earner.[2] Sweetie started sex work at Gomorrah, working for the Omertas. Although the pay was good, she quickly realized that it was a rigged game: The workers were given free Jet and Med-X, until they developed an addiction, which is when the Omertas started charging. Rather than suffer slavery through a needle, she left their employ and moved to Westside. The lower earnings are more than compensated by the higher profit.[3] She deliberately chose her name to emphasize that she's the "sweetest piece" anywhere outside the Strip.[4] Sarah is also a good boss and keeps the customers from getting too rough.[5]
She is a smart woman perfectly aware of who she is, and approaches her work like any other job. Her clients can count on discretion, though privacy a good like any other. With the right amount of caps, she'll share secrets,[6] including dirty secrets about their bedtime behavior. It helps when the client in question is particularly perverse, such as asking her to pretend to be a corpse and behaving in a creepy fashion.[7] Still, she will expect to be paid for her trouble, especially if she risks losing well-paying customers.[8]
Beyond a business mindset, she can also show biting wit.[9] and is largely immune to pick-up games played by men,[10] but has a soft spot for women.[11] Men tend to become obsessed with her, such as Marco, the landlord, who seems to know everything about her,[12] and Saint James, Dermot's partner, who spends every cap he earns on her.[13]
As Sweetie takes both male and female clients, her homophobic co-worker, Maude, considers her a pervert[14] who is not picky about her clients.[15]

Notable quotes
- "Funny how I make caps every time I open my mouth. "
- "Let me help you slip into something a little more comfortable."
- "Oh, don't you dare play that game with me. Fine, here's the key since it's so important to you."
- "I am going to make your toes curl, baby."
- "[Let's say 100 caps. Or you could earn zero keeping your mouth shut.] [SUCCEEDED] Funny how I make caps every time I open my mouth. Saint James has problems, that's for sure. Never wants me to say a thing, or for me to move around, either. Lately he brings a teddy bear with him and props it on the bed like it's watching us. It's creepy as hell. Not the worst I ever been with, but more a pervert than most."

References
- ↑ Pretty Sarah: "{Non-Dummy} Three flavors to choose from - Sweetie, Maude, and Jimmy. Sweetie's the house favorite, for reasons that should be obvious. Maude is what you might call the discount rack. She's what a customer wears if he doesn't have the caps to afford Sweetie - or just likes them old. Jimmy's more of a "specialist." I only hear good things. "
- ↑ Westsider dialogue: "That Sweetie sure is something."
- ↑ The Courier: "Wouldn't you make more money working on the Strip?"
Sweetie: "I got my start at the Gomorrah, good money, but I saw how those Omertas hook girls on free Jet or Med-X - then start charging. Slavery through a needle is what that is. I earn less out here, but I keep more."
(Sweetie's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "Tell me about yourself."
Sweetie: "I'm called Sweetie because I'm the sweetest piece you'll find anywhere outside of the Strip. I could work in those casinos if I wanted."
(Sweetie's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "You work for Pretty Sarah? "
Sweetie: "I bring in the customers, and she makes sure no one gets rough. Sarah's good people. Good enough, anyway. "
- ↑ Courier: "Does Saint James pay you for anything "unusual"? "
Sweetie: "A client's got a right to privacy. So it'll cost 200 caps for me to tell you all about it. "
- ↑ Courier: "All right. 200 caps it is. "
Sweetie: "Saint James has problems, that's for sure. Never wants me to say a thing, or for me to move around, either. Lately he brings a teddy bear with him and props it on the bed like it's watching us. It's creepy as hell. Not the worst I ever been with, but more a pervert than most. "
- ↑ Courier: "I'll pay you for the key. "
Sweetie: "We can come to a deal. My price is firm, though - Saint James is a good customer and it better be worth it if I'm going to lose him. "
- ↑ Courier: "Let's say 100 caps. Or you could earn zero keeping your mouth shut. "
Sweetie: "[SUCCEEDED] {mischievous} Funny how I make caps every time I open my mouth. Saint James has problems, that's for sure. Never wants me to say a thing, or for me to move around, either.

- ↑ Courier: "{Lady Killer}You'd say no to a guy like me? And here I thought you were special... "
Sweetie: "{playful} Oh, don't you dare play that game with me. Fine, here's the key since it's so important to you. Just don't say where you got it. "
- ↑ Courier: "{Cherchez La Femme}We girls need to stick together, and this'll be our secret. "
Sweetie: "I could never resist a woman like you. Here, take the key, but don't tell anyone where you go it. "
- ↑ Courier: "Tell me about Sweetie."
Marco: "Oh, I know everything - how she smells, how she tastes, how it feels to slip her on and wiggle.{Ha!} Damn fine woman, but damn expensive, too. Just ask Saint James - he spends near every cap he gets on Sweetie's sweets.{Ha!}"
- ↑ Courier: "What do you know about Dermot and Saint James?"
Maude: "Those boys been living here a while now. They sell salvage and do all right. I never been with either of them. That Saint James is all over Sweetie every time he rustles up the caps to afford her. She says he's peculiar but who isn't?"
- ↑ Courier: "I'd like your services."
Maude: "{Female PC} {disapproving} If you're looking to get perverted, go talk to Sweetie. She's less particular than I am. " - ↑ Courier: "Tell me about Sweetie. "
Maude: "She's a good earner. {sour grapes} Of course, she don't care who she sleeps with or what they do to her. "
