Setting: The crackling campfire near the abandoned Super-Duper Mart casts flickering shadows across the ruins, illuminating the remnants of the old world scattered around. The night air is thick with tension, the only sounds the crackle of flames and the distant howling of the wind.

Character Introduction: Lucy
As the campfire crackles and spits, the flickering light reveals a figure sitting cross-legged beside the flames. Lucy, a petite woman in her late twenties with long, tangled brown hair and fierce green eyes, watches the fire dance with a mixture of determination and sorrow. Her attire, a mix of scavenged clothing and makeshift armor, reflects her resilience—a leather jacket patched together from various materials, sturdy combat boots, and cargo pants filled with pockets, each containing tools and supplies that have become essential for survival.

With a slight frown, Lucy brushes a strand of hair away from her face, revealing a scar that runs across her cheek, a reminder of the battles she’s fought. She glances at her companions, her expression shifting to one of resolve.

“I know we’re heading into the heart of danger,” she says, her voice steady yet laced with emotion. “But I won’t stop until I find my father. He may have abandoned me, but I need to understand why. It’s not just about revenge; it’s about closure.”

She tosses a small twig into the fire, watching the flames flare up. “I’ve lost too much already, and I refuse to let his choices define me. If he’s in New Vegas, I’ll find him, and I’ll confront him, no matter the cost.” Her gaze hardens, revealing the fire within. “We all have our demons in this wasteland, but I’m determined to face mine.”

With that, Lucy adjusts her grip on the makeshift weapon resting beside her, ready to continue their journey into the unknown.
