“I learned how to tie my shoes, and how to put out a fire, and how to put bullets into a gun! Once my hands get big enough to hold one, Joseph says he's gonna teach me how to shoot for real! Learning is fun!”
The youngest member of Little Lamplight, Bumble is six and the closest to a carefree child to be found in Little Lamplight. She's only just learned how to fire a gun but hasn't tried it out yet, because she doesn't have the strength to pull the trigger. She sometimes carries around a teddy bear that used to be her mother's and has been passed down through generations of Lamplighters. Lucy treats her like a little sister. She's also clumsy, dull and prone to knocking into objects, which earned her nickname. She is extremely naive.[1]
The Kid-Kidnapper: She can be captured by the child slaver to get the Boogeyman's hood from Eulogy Jones. If she is brought outside and the child slaver is killed, she will go back inside and will not want to go outside again, saying "I don't like outside."
With the Child at Heart perk, she reveals that her real name is Betty.
Depending on how the Lone Wanderer introduces themselves, she will dismiss them saying either "Mungo" or "Buh-bye Vault Dweller." This changes only if the Lone Wanderer reveals that information.
Penny, when asked how she likes the classes while in the schoolhouse, will say "It's great, but Bumble's always bugging Joseph when he is trying to teach me." then say "she's just jealous because she doesn't have a brother anymore." This suggests she did have a brother, but it is uncertain whether he left Little Lamplight for Big Town, was killed in the wastes, or just disappeared from Little Lamplight.
Although she is technically "enslavable", only the child slaver can actually enslave her, not the Lone Wanderer.
"You're silly! Mayor-Mac wouldn't ever let a slaver in here! You can't scare me! I'm gonna be big and tough like Lucy! And then I'm gonna go out on adventures and everything!"
"I learned how to tie my shoes, and how to put out a fire, and how to put bullets into a gun! Once my hands get big enough to hold one, Joseph says he's gonna teach me how to shoot for real! Learning is fun!"
ps3xbox360 After Bumble is taken by the child slaver outside of Little Lamplight and the player character speaks to Eulogy Jones to receive the Boogeyman's hood, it is possible to once again select the dialogue to lure a child out of Little Lamplight. Bumble will then reappear in Little Lamplight still wearing the slave collar and can be lured outside again to the child slaver. However, the dialogue between the two will not unfold as it should and they will stand there indefinitely. [verified]
pc If one decides to kill all of the people at Paradise Falls to free the captured Little Lamplight characters one can still have Bumble go with the slaver if they previously talked to Eulogy about capturing the children at Little Lamplight. However, if one does, they will not receive a reward and the characters go inside the slave pen, into the slave room and disappear. [verified]
