Warning -- Tinfoil Hat Conspirator

Wh-I don’t wear a tinfoil hat!

If you had the opportunity to redesign your physical form, would you? If so, what would you change?

Well, overall, I do have to state that my creators did an excellent job because -at risk of sounding vain, which I would absolutely hate to be- I am pretty and handsome and have exceptionally nice legs and a cute bottom, so bravo, you did a good job designing me.  There are, admittedly, some design features, however minor, that I do think they didn’t quite think through.

My biggest concern is that they never bothered to enable aging, so I’ve looked like this since I was created.  Oh, yes, I’ve made some modifications here and there -the hair color, the dresses, the makeup- but overall, I’m still basically the same as I was day one.  This is unacceptable.  It unnecessarily complicates my life because people talk down to me (I am older than some of these people, probably!) and I have to uproot myself every few years so no one becomes suspicious that I haven’t aged any.  I actually don’t enjoy it.  In fact, it is incredibly bothersome.

Secondly, I don’t understand why they gave me the ability to grow whiskers but they didn’t grant me the ability to grow good whiskers.  If my body must produce facial hair, then it should at least be as lush and bountiful as the hair on my head, but it is instead patchy and weak.  I don’t believe in doing anything by halves, so I keep my face shaved at all times so people don’t know I can’t grow facial hair very well.  I just don’t like shaving.  It takes time out of the day that I could be using for other, better things like thinking about guns.  It can actually be quite painful, shaving!  You can cut your face.  You can cut other things, too, like legs, but I don’t bother with that.  And you have to do it forever because the hair will grow back in a few days.  If I never had the hair grow back, then I wouldn’t have to shave, and then I could think about guns more.

Thirdly, I haven’t got any breast development and while that generally doesn’t cause me great distress, I have touched them before and it turns out that they’re very nice in general, soft, and it seems like something that I’d like the option to have, though I’m not certain it’s something I’d want always because some of my shirts would fit better if I was filled out in that area but others wouldn’t fit right at all.  I wouldn’t want to throw out perfectly good clothes.

Fourthly, I have a great expanse of freckles and people like to point them out as if I’m not aware that I have freckles on my nose.  I have been aware of them for quite some time.  You don’t need to point out I have cute freckles.  I already know they’re cute.

Fifth, I dye my hair and now my eyebrows don’t match my hair.  I want my eyebrows to match my hair always.  I want eyebrows that change colors magically.

Also, the Institute made me too perfect and it really causes no end of trouble in my day to day life, what with all the men and women fighting over my favor in the streets and all.

How do you manage to believe in aliens? Do you really think they'd want to come to a place such as the Commonwealth?

Gulliver didn’t really go to Diamond City much. It was full of people who had no sense of fun, and everything was too expensive. You just couldn’t haggle in market the same way you could with a trader in Goodneighbor. And those upper stands folk...jeez! They’d managed to score a meal up in their snooty restaurant, but only once. It was hardly fun at all to swipe all the coasters. But they did fetch a mean price, at least.

Today they were on a little bit of a mission. A few folks outside the walls had talked about a new fellow in town, he’d set himself up a nice little crow’s nest to watch people coming and going from Diamond City. They had plenty of guards for that kind of thing. What was he about? Some crazy from the ‘Wealth? They wondered how on earth anyone had let him up there.

There was only one thing for it, and that was to find out for themselves. They stood at the bottom of Hayden’s structure, a beer in each hand and looking up through sunglasses that were obviously lifted from the pockets of some clueless upper stands bloke. Probably less than five minutes ago. “Oi!” They called up, clinking the bottles together. “This’s your welcome to the neighborhood party. From a different neighborhood.”

How do you prepare yourself every day to work with the Valkyries?

“It depends what we are doing! I like to train every morning to warm up, but if we have to do any fighting or guarding I wake up a little earlier to make lunches for everyone. And everything else is standard! Like checking armor and supplies, making sure my weapon is sharpened, going through plans with the other girls. I imagine that’s how most groups operate.”
