Kayleigh Carruthers

Kayleigh Carruthers is a traveling Vault Dweller, who currently serves as a gun for hire. She was one of many Vault Dwellers from Vault 25 who decided to leave after the Overseer was overthrown.

Background[]

Kayleigh was born to the Captain of the Security team of Vault 25, who taught her a lot about keeping herself safe and not taking any nonsense from anyone who tried to dish it out. She was taught to shoot and use a security baton at a young age and got to practice quite a lot on the shooting range.

Her life was pleasant, if not a little dull, until she turned eighteen. It was around this time that the Overseer's decisions proved to be hazardous to the Vault's safety and that of its citizens. The Overseer seemed to be dead set on expanding the vault a certain way, based on a list that Vault Tec had provided. This meant that during a dire power crisis, his efforts went into building a new leisure center.

This resulted in food and water production grounding to a halt and many residents getting sick. Eventually, the residents stood up for themselves, they began to riot against the Overseer's security forces, resulting in a number of brutal scenes in the Vault's atrium and in the hallways. Eventually, Kayleigh's Father lost faith in the Overseer and turned on him, mutinying and taking the position for himself.

Captain Carruthers opened the vault door, allowing the Dwellers to leave for the Wasteland, an opportunity that Kayleigh took up.

It isn't known what she did from then on but she was eventually hired by professor Richard Dyner.

Vault 88[]

Kayleigh was eventually drawn to Vault 88, where she offered her services as a security guard and eventually an agent of Naomi Eastwood.

Legends of the Wastes[]

Kayleigh was hired on by Naomi Eastwood to support the Devil's Brigade, it was during this mission that she found herself growing close to Shanks Wain and eventually becoming his lover.

In DC, she was held captive by Thomas Hamilton, who forced Naomi to choose between her and John Hancock. Hancock insisted that he died in Kayleigh's place, resulting in him being murdered by Hamilton.

Personality[]

Kayleigh takes after her Father, she is an overall kind person, who has a strong sense of justice and a bit of a temper. She loves giving people what they deserve, whether that's a helping hand or a black eye.

She is quite a good shot with a pistol and has limited experience with a rifle. In combat she brushes her brash nature aside and doesn't take shots if there is any risk of her missing her target or hurting one of her own.

By the time of Legends of the Wastes, Kayleigh has a much harsher demeanor than she did by Tanner's side. Working for Naomi Eastwood, she has killed a plethera of people for the good of the commonwealth and has even tortured and killed prisoners.

As a result, Tanner, who she was formerly quite close to, found great difficulty in relating to her.
