Donna Patterson

Backstory

Donna was a nurse before the collapse, one of the few who remembers antibiotics and sterile protocols. When her settlement's water supply became contaminated, she watched treatable infections kill a dozen people — including her daughter — because knowledge alone couldn't replace the supplies she'd lost. Now she scavenges methodically, driven by guilt and purpose: she won't let others die for lack of medicine. She's heard rumors that Vault 7 contains a pre-collapse medical archive and pharmaceutical reserves. If she can reach it, she might finally have the tools to do what she was trained for.
