Bumble is six years old and the youngest citizen of Little Lamplight in 2277.[1]

Contents

[edit] Background

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 literally doesn't have the strength to pull the trigger. She sometimes carries around a Teddy Bear that used to be her mothers and has been passed down trough generations of Lamplighters. Lucy treats her like a little sister. She's also clumsy and prone to knocking into objects, which earned her her nickname. She is extremely naive.

[edit] Relationships

Bumble spends most of her time in the Schoolhouse either with Joseph, or "Uncle Joseph" as she calls him, and with Lucy in the clinic.

[edit] Daily schedule

Bumble is likely to be found at the schoolhouse building. If she is not there she sometimes can be found in the main cave.

[edit] Interactions with the player character

  • If you have the Child at Heart perk, she reveals that her real name is Betty.
  • Depending on how the player introduces him or herself, she will dismiss the player saying either "Mungo" or "Vault Dweller" - this changes only if the player reveals that information.

[edit] Quest: The Kid-Kidnapper

Main article: The Kid-Kidnapper

She can be captured by the Child Slaver to get the Boogeyman's Hood from Eulogy Jones. If you bring her outside and kill the child slaver, she will go back inside and does not want to go outside again: "I don't like outside."

[edit] Notes

  • If you happen to have any raiders that you've rendered "friendly" with the mesmetron, they will still shoot at her and chase her around forever.
  • Penny, when asked how she likes the classes in 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, was killed in the wastes, or just disappeared from little lamplight.

[edit] Bugs

  • It is possible to keep Bumble as a follower for the rest of the game. As soon as you exit Little Lamplight, open up your pipboy and fast travel to your desired destination, instead of bringing her to the slaver. When arriving you will see that Bumble is still with you. She will not follow you into houses or anyplace that causes a loading screen. Upon returning outside, she will either have disappeared, or, in the case of walking through megatons gate, she will still be around however she wont follow you anymore, and will walk back to Little Lamplight. She can be given a weapon, however she will never equip it and always runs away at the first sign of an enemy, and will not come back to follow you once they are gone.
  • After Bumble is taken by the Child Slaver outside of Little Lamplight and the player 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 dialog between the two will not unfold as it should and they will stand there indefinitely. (Verified on Xbox360)
  • It is possible, though rare, that when Bumble exits Little Lamplight she will be stuck inside the rocks to the left of the entrance and the player may see her flicker. This problem can be fixed by entering the caverns again and waiting for her to follow.
  • If you decide to kill all of the people at Paradise Falls to free the captured Little Lamplight characters you can still have Bumble go with the slaver if you previously talked to Eulogy about capturing the kids at Little Lamplight, but if you do you don't get a reward and the characters go inside the slave pen, into the slave room and disappear.
