Lucy MacLean (Fallout Prime)

Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy!

Trigger warnings: written gore, the general violence you find in Fallout. Whatever you'd call the fact that she's a ghoul and her body is decaying slowly (untagged, I wouldn't know what to tag it or when).

After Hank took the kids away, Rose spent the next six months plotting how to break into the Vault, take them, and save everyone else with Moldaver and her people. Then Hank bombs Shady Sands, on a day in which Moldaver is not home. 

After the bomb she's almost fully gone, but a creepy doctor offers them a 'fix it' vial. It "heals" Rose, in the sense that while she's still a ghoul she returns to her original human appearance, wounds cured, skin restored except for her arm, but the psychological impact took away her memories. She did see the way she looked, remembers being feral, and it's burned into her brain. She can't remember her kids much, it feels like another life, but a glimpse of them would bring it all back.

Hank sends them a message: he'd kill their kids before letting them be destroyed by life on the surface (he's bluffing) and that seals the deal: she's not coming for them. Memories of life at the Vault come back later, but mostly pre-kids. 

canon divergence for Lucys and people in general who reached the Observatory: Moldaver tells Lucy that ghoul-Rose left due to the heartbreak because Hank threatened to kill her and Norm (cue Hank saying he had to do to protect them from a woman who had already taken them on the surface, he did the right thing!).

appearance: Rose's right side of the body starts turning ghoul-like as years pass, now it involves her entire left arm, part of her upper chest and neck, which she always leeps covered with cute accessories. Every time she ends up nearly feral due to the lack of vials, more of her body 'dies'. She doesn't age besides the 'decay' bit, but she's 40+ by now. 

personality: She's STILL hanging onto her old personality as a spiteful 'fuck you' to Hank and what he did to her, is still optimistic and still tries to help people (like Lucy would) and can be passive-aggressive, sarcastic and hold a grudge (like Norm), smart, curious, impossibly so. But also extremely insecure due to the whole ghoul thing. She definitely kills people as needed, it's just that if she can cook for them and be cute she'd rather pick that option. 

Shipping: she's bi, she was IN love with Hank until he showed his true colors, fell for Moldaver who was always honest to her. But for potential shipping purposes, we'll say that unless you write a Moldaver and you want to ship it, in which case they are absolutely married or exes in love, her Ghoulness got too much in the way because of her insecurities, as well as the baggage of missing her children, and she and Moldaver parted ways amicably if with a lot of pain. She's probably in her mid-fourties, keep that in mind too.

now: Currently though, she works as a bounty hunter, but in a weirdly nice way? But because she kinda sucks at it since she doesn't want to capture people unless they are bad, mostly she gives a hand in one of Vegas' kitchen, and that gets her a lot of caps because people love her food SO MUCH that it's just convenient to let her do her thing.
