Cait Companions

Description

Cait is a companion character in Fallout 4, dwelling in the Commonwealth as a cage fighter.

Background / History

Cait’s early life was marred by emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her parents. Sold into slavery at the age of eighteen, she endured five years of torment before buying her freedom with stolen caps. Seeking revenge, she tracked down her parents and executed them. Despite her freedom, Cait struggled with her past, turning to alcohol and chems for solace. Eventually, she found herself as a cage fighter at the Combat Zone, where she wrestled with her inner demons while battling opponents.

Cait will actively use chems in her inventory, including Psycho and Jet, and may react negatively if the player character uses chems themselves after helping her to cure her Psycho addiction. She appreciates hard alcoholic beverages and will comment on various locations and quests.
