Nadine is the daughter of Catherine who fled her boring life in D.C. to explore Point Lookout where she is encountered by the Lone Wanderer in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Background[]
A bit of a tomboy growing up, Nadine proved to be a restless spirit with a thrill for adventure who wanted to explore beyond the Capital Wasteland. She pursued her dream sometime prior to 2277 when she ran away from home, stowing away on the Duchess Gambit captained by Tobar to follow its path and see the world, eventually stopping off at Point Lookout. Her explorations there led to Nadine joining Jackson's group of tribals at the Ark & Dove Cathedral, also resulting in her imbibing the Mother Punga and Tobar surgically removing a lump of brain from her. Despite this scarring incident, Nadine remained steadfast in finding a fortune to bring back and share with her mother, Catherine after she returns to the Capital Wasteland.[Non-game 1]

Quests[]
- Walking with Spirits: She will remove the scar from the brain removal after the quest is completed.
- Hearing Voices: She gives information on where Jackson is hiding out.
- Tailing the Tomboy: She is the "tomboy" her mother asked the Lone Wanderer to find and return home.
Effects of player's actions[]
Nadine provides the key to finding Jackson and removes the Lone Wanderer's scar (which restores their hair and lets them wear hats again) after Walking with Spirits is completed. After she leaves the church, she appears on the Duchess Gambit, having exacted revenge on Tobar and claimed the ship as her own, after which she offers to take the player character between the regions free of charge (unlike Tober who charged for every ticket).

Notes[]
If one wishes to keep the scar from the brain surgery, in traveling between Point Lookout and the Capital Wasteland, they will have to continue paying Tobar for a ticket back and forth. This is due to the fact that Nadine only takes control of the ship (and makes all trips free of charge) after removing the scar, due to the "Who cut open my head?" dialogue option only being available after inquiring about the scar removal.
Appearances[]
Nadine appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Bugs[]
While at the Ark & Dove Cathedral, Nadine sometimes picks up the Stealth Boy and activates it. One cannot talk to her until the Stealth Boy has worn off.[verified]
