Your barbs do not harm me. I am shielded by my faith.

Sister Harriet, simply named Child of Atom in-game, is a member of the Children of Atom who lives and evangelizes on the Island in 2287.[1]

Background[]

Sister Harriet is one of the Children responsible for spreading the word of Atom. She is encountered on the road to Acadia during the quest Walk in the Park. She is familiar with Old Longfellow, and holds him in low regard for taking travelers to the synth refuge,[2] a place she also looks down upon, calling it a "nest of snakes" filled with beasts.[3] However, she believes the Sole Survivor is still capable of being converted to the Church of Atom[3][4] and will direct them to the Nucleus to learn more about the faith.[5]

Harriet refers to the Island as "Atom's kingdom" because of the presence of the Fog, which she calls sacred and indicative that Atom has taken over the Island for his faithful.[6] Harriet is distrustful of Acadia specifically because of their work on the fog condensers, which she sees as an affront to a holy aspect of the Church.[7] She also believes that Acadia and the settlement of Far Harbor are both doomed, as the Church of Atom are the "rightful heirs" to the Island.[8]

Notes[]

  • Sister Harriet is never referred to by name in the player character's initial encounter with her. In-game, she is simply named "Child of Atom." However, Grand Zealot Richter reveals her name if one mentions the encounter with her outside of Acadia.[1]
  • If she is not encountered during Walk in the Park, she will never spawn.
