courier six: astred "red" montemayor

born and raised in bustling new reno before eventually moving to equally bustling arroyo , red is a courier working for the mojave express in the year 2281

born sometime in the 2250s to a young tribal woman working at the renowned cat's paw brothel and a wandering courier from the depths of nevada, red spent the first decade of her life voluntarily working as a runner for the various crime families populating new reno, followed by another decade living with and helping the chosen one nesta fischer assist people throughout the west coast - all this after an unexpected viral infection claimed the life of her mother, resulting in her adoption by said chosen one and subsequent move to arroyo - it was during this time as well that red came to prefer interacting with non-humans, as the range of her mother's former companions (including the likes of ghouls, super mutants, intelligent deathclaws, and robobrains) served to normalized the concept of cross species cohabitation in her eyes

a bright and perpetually cheerful young woman with a bubbly and outgoing personality overshadowed only by her robophilia, red is incredibly optimistic and naturally helpful (to the point some would consider blind stupidity), though she tends to display careless disregard for her own well being and is seemingly incapable of measuring threats against her life and how to appropriately react to them. easily thriving and flourishing regardless of her environment, red has proven to be incredibly charismatic (if not a little eccentric) and extremely gifted with machines, quickly making a name for herself as one of new reno and arroyo's most technically inclined and smartest citizens ...at least when it comes to subjects involving the mechanical and their programming, as she is woefully lost when it comes to things that involve common sense and interpersonal relationships - not because she has trouble communicating or interacting with other people, but because she finds herself drawn more towards the artificial than the organic, and sometimes doesn't understand why others might find her preferences and thought patterns "deviant and life threatening"

because of her small size and underwhelming strenght, red has developed a major buffout addiction brought about by her obsessive hoarder tendencies, coupled with a taste for mentats and rushing water fostered by the prolonged amount of time she spent (spends) at the big empty. fluent in the common tongue (english) as well as her tribal mother's distinct southeast asian dialect and robco's unique patterned terminal symbols speak - the same language doctor 8 uses after his encounter with father elijah - red nevertheless seems to have trouble expressing herself fully to those made less of metal and silicone and more of blood and bone, but her naturally high charisma and genuine interest in people and their condition has made her popular among the many towns and settlements scattered throughout the mojave (inversely, raiders hate her, and for good reason)

seemingly content with her daily life surrounded by organized crime and endless amounts of people to help and the odd heap of robotic parts she steadily collected through the years, it wasn't until red discovered her biological father was actually a courier for the mojave express did she begin to actively desire to leave and set out on her own, something she spoke briefly with to both her mothers before her growing wanderlust had her packing her bags and taking to the road during the twilight of her teenage years. actually getting to her destination was the hard part though, and red often found herself taking odd jobs and oftentimes dangerous quests for the people she met along her journey, things that cultivated her natural proclivity towards helping out others whenever possible - and coupled with her plesant disposition and aversion towards confrontation, did cause her several major problems and dozens of setbacks as she found herself occasionally taken advantage of and targeted by unscrupulous individuals.

four years prior to the night she was shot twice in the head by one benny gecko, red decided to head out into the wastes, making her way down south towards the mojave on a whim and the promise of adventure, finding herself taking refuge in the town of irvine (further developing her passionate robophilia there) and getting as far as the mysterious twin mothers village before becoming hopelessly sidetracked and ending up in the heart of the capital wasteland ...eventually arriving at her destination fresh and starry eyed (despite the horrors of the wastes) a staggering four years after she first set out. it was during these days that red happened to meet a certain, wandering ghoul who came to accompany her throughout her travels in the lands between the west coast and the mojave, picking up other colourful characters on her journey including (but not limited to) a nightkin whom believed himself a follower of the apocalypse, a former legion centurion, and a former ncr sharpshooter - all of who eventually parted ways with her upon her arrival to primm and subsequent employment under the mojave express

eventually the day where she found herself in a shallow grave out in the middle of the goodsprings cemetery came to pass, though red herself does not hold any ill will towards benny for shooting her (to the point of tracking him down to the tops just to tell him she forgave him) as she rationalizes his actions as those either born out of desperation - he must have been in some serious trouble to resort to robbery and murder - or simply because she must have been terrible enough a person to deserve to be shot. and though taking two bullets to the brain did little to rob red of her memories, it did cause her to become oddly detached to them, stating that while she remembers her past, to her it feels more like watching another person's home movies more than looking into her past experiences. additionally, her ability to restrain herself and her impulse control seems to have been the things thoroughly ravaged by said bullets, and what was once quirky mannerisms have blown up into full cloudcuckoolander tendencies and terrible life choices and utterly chaotic thought processes

a member of the courier alliance! with a handful of fellow couriers / work friends, red fights for a truly independent new vegas, free from both the influences of the bear anf the bull, and the clutches of a ghost from the old world ...and someday hopes to (consensually) marry the lights of her life, yes man and doctor dala. six years after the second battle of hoover dam, red has somehow made her way into the commonwealth, reuniting with the lone wanderer daisy davenport (whom she met several years ago in the capital on her way to the mojave) and befriending the sole survivor odette nieves

securitrons are her life !!

• bonus dlc trivia •

> red still has the ocassional dreams involving too-tight collars and endlessly beeping radios in tight corridors filled with suffocating red smoke, but has for the most part put the events of dead money behind her, checking in on the combined personality of dog and god in jacobstown whenever she happens to conveniently travel by (usually with lily, but not always) and getting dean domino a job performing at the tops' ace theatre (she dreams of christine too, from time to time, and hopes to someday find the madre and convince her to come home with her)

> red still visits zion valley whenever time permits it (which isn't as often enough as she would like), and makes her way to dead horse point after the events of the no gods, no masters questline, searching out joshua graham for advice on how to help the mojave get back on its feet now that all outside (and one inside) influences have been removed ...of course, her slight infatuation with and high opinion of the burned man might have something to do with it, but you'll never get her to admit it, lmao

> red makes it a point to travel back to the big mt as often as possible (which roughly translates to her spending every last week of the month at the sink), checking up on the think tank and making sure they're not slipping back into their morally dubious habits and further exploring and cataloguing the places and things to be found within the crater. bringing back coffee mugs and an assortment of ceramic plates for muggy has become a regular occurance for her, as is going on dates spending time breathing for doctor dala and tinkering with the defective securitrons littered about the securitron de-construction plant

> red has only ever gone back to the divide once, to speak to ulysses about things she cannot speak to anyone else with, and makes sure to keep an eye out for any ...accidental visitors from his side
