Personality and interests

Arabella was a dreamer. She had dreams of reforming the Brotherhood’s relationship with outsiders. Like her adoptive father, she was going to embrace outsiders. Trade technology for food, medicine, and other resources. It would have grown the size of the Brotherhood and would have increased their intelligence-gathering capabilities. Betrayal has left Arabella lost. Maximilien. She has lost the ability to trust. She is a woman without a cause, a home, or friends. Her observational skills fail when it is someone she trusts.

Skills

Trained in the use of firearms since she was a child; if it has a trigger, she can use it with precise expertise. Began using a Power Armor the moment she could fit in one. Reconnaissance expert. Extremely observant of threats.

History

Arabella Simone Smith was born into the Brotherhood of Steel. She lost her mother when she was three and her father when she was nine. She was adopted by Elder Maximilien De Verley.

She proved to be a keen observer. She made extremely accurate observations of threats to the Brotherhood. During a training mission when she was thirteen, Arabella’s squad came under attack by a Deathclaw. She was the sole survivor and would carry the scars of that battle forever both on her face and psyche. At sixteen she underwent a dangerous solitary mission to kill a super mutant leader that was attempting to unite several super mutant clans. Maximilien named her a Sentinel. Taking a Paladin, she trusted completely she began engaging in missions to take out threats to the Brotherhood before they became a threat.

When she was nineteen the Elder allowed an outsider in without taking the Oath of Fraternity, contrary to the codex. The outsider was a Vault dweller. The Dweller betrayed them and executed the Elder. While the Dweller was relishing his victory Arabella shot him several times in the back. Arabella looted the Dweller’s corpse then cremated the Dweller. Maximilien De Verley’s son was on a mission at the time of his father’s death. Mathis took over what was left of the Brotherhood. An analysis of the Dweller’s possessions revealed the Dweller was working for the Enclave. Mathis declared war on the Enclave. When the Dweller didn’t check in as expected the Enclave responded by launching enough missiles at the Brotherhood base to wipe it out. Arabella and a reconnaissance squad of Paladins were on their way to scout Enclave territory when the night sky was lit up by the explosions. They turned around to help any survivors and salvage what was left of their home. The only person they found alive was Mathis, but he was dying. Mathis named Arabella his successor. Arabella and the rest of her squad buried everyone they could find. Arabella put on the Elder’s battlecoat. She led her men on a campaign to gain allies & recruit members for the Brotherhood, when she believed they were strong enough she gathered her forces at a network of caves near the Enclaves base. Before she could launch the attack their store of munitions was blown up by her most trusted Brother. Most of her forces were either killed by the explosion or the collapse of the cave wall. Others were trapped by debris and would take them several days to find their way out without a map. Arabella and the traitor were near the cave’s entrance when he betrayed them. He incapacitated her and took her to the Enclave.

At first, she fought them tooth and nail, over time she became less combative until she was cooperative. She eventually was let out of prison. She was made a low-level grunt in their army. During the day she did what she was told like a good little soldier. At night she snuck around the base looking for ways to hurt them but never doing anything. She eventually started planting explosives around the base she could remotely detonate from her Pipboy. She had been there at least four years. She proved her worth to them time after time. She was pulled in for a special mission briefing with the Enclave leaders. At the meeting, she was given a new gun they wanted to be tested in the field. They trusted her enough to hand her the gun and ammo separately, assuming they could take her out if she tried something. She detonated the explosives, then quickly loaded the gun, and shot the leaders of the Enclave.

During the confusion and the mayhem, she started she found the Brother who betrayed her. He hugged her; she returned the hug with a knife to gut. She raided the armory and retrieved her Brotherhood equipment. She then found a Vertibird and flew it out of there. She then detonated the second series of explosions that detonated their store of missiles destroying the base.

Eventually the Vertibird was beginning to run out of fuel. She made a landing and salvaged what she could. She then ignited the remaining fuel destroying the Vertibird.
