Small Bertha

 is the informal leader of the derelicts of Far Harbor. Considered crazy by some, she's a surprisingly competent and self-aware child – enough to dwarf most of the egoistic adults living in Far Harbor.

Background
Bertha and her family were among those who had to flock to Far Harbor for safety following the island once again becoming covered in the Fog. Passing through the fog covered ruins of the town they made it to the docks; the only place relatively safe from the radiation and fog dwelling fauna. They were a group among many, a great many. The Mariner overwhelmed by the sudden flood of refugees almost kicked everyone out, then Avery stepped in effectively establishing the settlement. It was here that her mother Peggy discovered that her great-aunt Candace fled the island for the mainland once her home was engulfed by the fog. Seeking a safe haven for her family her mother left her two children with their father Mark to travel to one of the Dalton family farms hoping to trade work as a farmhand for shelter. After Peggy left she was killed, almost the entire Dalton family suffered a similar fate. Later her father would die horribly as well, leaving Bertha and Tony poor and alone amongst the dregs.

Since then she has acquired a reputation as the informal leader of the derelicts of Far Harbor. Known now as "Small Bertha" – "Smalls" by her friends – she is considered crazy by some, but she's a surprisingly competent, coldly determined and hardened child. She has watched the Harbormen dwindle as they are forced to leave the island entirely in search of food and shelter. Now with the Far Harbor–Acadia alliance, and with the fog condenser technology, she will enlist the Sole Survivor to help reclaim a lost Harbormen settlement; Echo Lake Lumber, which was abandoned long ago as the fog rolled in. She is unaware that its owner is still alive, the last survivor of the family still clinging to his property. Driven insane and cannibalistic...

Teddy Wright: "At this rate, we may be running low on medical supplies inside a week or two." Avery: "We're expecting another boat soon." Small Bertha: "Excuse me, ma'am." Avery: "Hmm. Bertha, is it? We're a little busy." Small Bertha: "Excuse me." Teddy Wright: "Smalls, we got no time for you." Small Bertha: "The mainlander cleared out Echo Lake Lumber Mill.|She's talking to the mayor and is completely confident / Confident}}"

The Sole Survivor: "Why are we even talking to the Captain about this?" Small Bertha: "She's got things we need. We got to get off the docks, Captain. If you give us some of those Acadian Fog Condensers, my friends are ready to homestead that lumber mill." Avery: "Surviving is about more than taming Fog. We got to stay together, Bertha." Small Bertha: "But we're no good here. Harbormen need their own land. Something to protect and hold." Teddy Wright: "I was wrong about you." Avery: "What?" Teddy Wright: "Not you. You. Bertha knows this island better than you, Avery. We give folk some Condensers, materials, and a chance to build defenses and we'll survive all right. And thrive even."

The Sole Survivor: "Could this really work?" Teddy Wright: "I don't see why not. And even if it doesn't, instead of starving on a pier they die on their own land. Give them the Fog Condensers, Avery." Avery: "Well, I won't stop you. But until we deal with the Children of Atom - settling the island again... It could blow up in your face. Come, Bertha." Teddy Wright: "You might want to check up on Echo Lake. Bertha's friends would no doubt welcome you. And take this. You never cease to amaze."

CassieDalton: Mainlander cleared my farm. Avenged my family! More than the rest of you ever did for me. Small Bertha: "What's Allen really ever done? Cause trouble. Remember who cleared the Lumber Mill. Remember who's given us a new chance to take back our island."

// Sarcasm? character trait either way // WaitingForPlayerInput I like silence, too.

// More hellos // Hello What happened to the Children of Atom weren't no accident. Right, stranger?

Hello The Children of Atom changed awful sudden. Grownups don't just do that.

Hello Once you start turning on each other, how do you stop? Hello I'll miss Avery. Everyone will soon. Hello What you did with Allen. Calling him out... Thanks. Hello The Captain's Dance was supposed to only be the stuff of stories. Hello Leave. Me. Alone. Hello I won't ever forget you. Hello All of us in the dregs owe you. Hello You're... You're not like anyone I've ever met. Hello They say mainlanders are nothing but trouble. They're wrong. Hello My brother's going to get better. Hello We... need you, stranger. Hello We got to learn to ask for help. Hello Watch your step. Hello I don't have time for mainlanders. Hello What makes you think I want to talk with you? Hello No one talks to my brother. All right? Hello Get lost, I don't need your charity. Hello You still here for some reason?

Hello We're depending on you. We got nowhere else to go. -->
