Wilhelmina Cabot

"Jack, dear, I'm worried that supplies are running a bit low.

Supplies? You mean the liquor cabinet is getting empty again?"

- Wilhelmina and Jack

Wilhelmina Cabot is a member of the Cabot family at their house in Fallout 4.

Background
The matron of the Cabot family, Wilhelima has been blessed with undeath by the mysterious serum and is currently hundreds of years old. Unfortunately, such a long time span has not translated into wisdom, as Wilhelmina has been born into privilege and lived among luxury her entire life. She finds the reality of the post-nuclear world difficult to adjust to, whenever she acknowledges the world has changed at all, that is. Mostly, she's stuck reliving the glory of old, moping around Cabot House, and insisting that Cabots maintain their high standard of living in a world where most are lucky if they find a sleeping bag and a piece of scrap to make a lean-to. Perhaps it's the alcoholism and regular emptying of the liquor cabinet. Perhaps the guilt she feels over consigning her husband to effective immurement at Parsons after his return from Arabia, convincing the family to seal him in. Perhaps she just cannot cope with such a long life.

The fact that she's cooped up at the mansion doesn't help. Wilhelmina has no real hobbies or pastimes, re-reading the same books hundreds of times, trying to pull Jack away from his work to stave off loneliness, and emptying the liquor cabinet when she cannot. Problem is, even when the family takes time to get together, Wilhelmina can be insufferable. From her insistence on dressing for dinner, through complaining about Edward's cooking (serving canned peas or red wine with chicken; her reservations about mystery meat are well founded, however), to badgering Emogene about marrying to continue the family line, she's an old school matron in a world where the old school did not simply close: It was burned down, stamped to ash, and picked over by savage monsters.
