Clara Rosa Perkins
Physical Description
Specialized Equipment
Her main weapon is a pair of worn, gold knuckle dusters, with "Here" and "Now" etched into the metal. She also has a 1911 pistol, with the number 49 carved haphazardly into the leather grip. She also happens to have two holsters, as her pistol's mate was lost at some point.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Clara Rosa Perkins gew up in Vault 49, and was an unwilling subject in the "Broken G.E.C.K" experiment that took place there. All dwellers felt pressure to never leave the Vault, for fear that any civilization they attempt to build would fail without the G.E.C.K. This fear was only confirmed by the dwellers who never returned after the Schism. Thus, Clara was content to spend her days there. She lived her two parents, and was their only child. Even without siblings, she was never lonely and was friendly with everyone in her class. She also took a romantic interest in one classmate in particular--Bruce Hargrave.
A few days before the attack on their Vault, the annual Upper Classes Dance was set to take place. Clara had asked Bruce to join her for it, and even though he accepted her invitation, he never showed up to the dance itself. Clara failed to find him anywhere in the Vault, and was distraught. Each time she saw him in class after that, he was distant and refused to speak with her, which saddened her further. They may have been able to reconcile, if the Vault had not been raided by the Chicago Brotherhood of Steel.
Education
Clara was well-educated, as anyone growing up in a Vault would be. Her Vault was raided before she got the chance to take the G.O.A.T, however.
Employment
As she made her way through the I-44 corridor, she took up caravan guard jobs. As she entered the Springfield area, she also worked security detail for small, unincorproated communities. She later found herself in the caravan business again, when her and the Route 66 Caravan struck up a deal. As of the start of Untread Ozarks in 2281, she is waiting for the caravan to leave Springfield and head to Joplin and, later, Oklahoma City.
Mental Trauma
From her time growing up in a vault, she feels the world is too big for her. The open skies and areas outdoors are intimidating. Weirdly enough, it is somewhat claustrophobic.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Her only real "want" is the main thing she cannot have: her vault life back. So, even though she does not recognize it, she wants the next best thing, that being control over her own life.
