Virginia Puffton is the 20 year-old daughter of Edward and Barbara Puffton and a companion.

History

Virginia is the ballet-loving adult daughter of multi-billionaire Edward Puffton. It is unknown if her strange appearance existed prior to her coming to the island, but it has been well established that Edward Puffton doted on her, regardless, and even left her his entire estate in his will, leaving nothing for her socialite mother. A VIP keycard can be found with Virginia's name and photograph that can access much of the underground bunkers found around the island, however it is unclear if she was ever allowed beyond her living quarters. These living quarters have a child-like appeal and contains a ballet practice area equipped with what appears to be a two-way mirror.

Appearance

Virginia is a slender, Caucasian woman with fair skin and blonde hair tied behind her head. She has dark eyes and a permanent scowl. Her most prominent characteristics are her three arms and three legs (an extra "left" version of each). She can be found wearing a white swimsuit when you first meet her.

Behavior

Virginia can be seen walking or running through the forest, sitting by the edge of the water, or bathing in waterfalls. If you approaches her, she may gesture in fear and run away. However, should you put away their weapons and not approach her, she may approach slowly or begin dancing. She can be seen drinking fresh water and bathing/washing in fresh water to remove mud and blood. She can kick rabbits to death and eat them, as well as collect from wild berry bushes. She will also consume the severed limbs of dead cannibals if they are left near her. Holding weapons or running toward Virginia will result in her fleeing from you. If you do not try harming her in any way, she will eventually grow attached to you and become more social. After being befriended, Virginia will mostly stay near you, tents, and fires. If a piece of sittable furniture is placed near a campfire, she will sit on that instead of the ground. This includes benches and chairs. She cannot be given commands, but as your affinity with her rises, she will bring you gifts and eventually accept items. Virginia can have an outfit, a shotgun, a pistol, and a GPS locator. At first, she may be fearful and not utilize her weapons, but as time progresses, she will begin engaging in combat with hostiles. She can dual-wield both weapons at the same time with no ammo required. If you attack Virginia, then she will become fearful of the player and will not help or stay around. Virginia can be downed by mutants, cannibals, and you. If Virginia is not aided in time, then she will die permanently and not respawn in that game save.

Note: It is unknown if the act of planting berries or herbs directly raises her affinity, but she doesprefer eating from crop plots instead of drying racks.

When near a radio, Virginia will begin to dance. "Nodding" at her will make her shrug and hum positively if at high affinity.

Virginia has no toes, and her feet are fused together in the shape of ballet slippers. . . . Crashed on an island with creatures you don’t recognize, you’ve built a base. On this island you’ve dealt with mutants, cannibals, weird fleshy creatures, a lot. You’ve found people… dead. But hey, free stuff. Anyways, you haven’t found somebody on the island that’s not actively trying to murder you; until one afternoon.

a dancing mutant. At first you couldn’t see it- but she spun, and there it was. A third arm. A third leg. Otherwise she seemed normal. She wasn’t hostile, but she did stay a distance away from you. She was just… doing ballet. You were distracted for a moment. But when you tried to approach, she got spooked and ran back into the woods. You thought that was it.

it wasn’t.

she came back days later, doing the same thing. Dancing nearby. Maybe this time, don’t spook her accidentally. Put your weapons away.

~~unless you actually want to kill her~~
