Catherine apparently had an adventurous life before settling down in the Capital Wasteland with her daughter Nadine.[1] Her life took a turn when Nadine stowed away on the Duchess Gambit a couple weeks ago and was taken to Point Lookout.[2] Catherine's motherly intuition naturally led her to tell Nadine she could not go, but it was only a matter of time before the scamp disobeyed and stowed away.[3][4] Catherine has never been to Point Lookout and has no idea what to expect, so she is understandably anxious to get her daughter back into her arms.[5]

I haven't heard anything from her, but if you're going there, could you look for her? Please, I'll do anything to help!" (Catherine's dialogue (Point Lookout))

She told me she wanted to go find her fortune, but I thought it was too dangerous. I should've known better than to say that. Moment I told her she couldn't go, it was just a matter of time before she ran off..." (Catherine's dialogue (Point Lookout))

She could be anyplace! But I do remember her talking about that Punga Fruit, and how valuable it'd be to grow here. Maybe she'll be someplace it grows?" (Catherine's dialogue (Point Lookout))
