Susan Lancaster is a former slaver from Paradise Falls who now lives in Tenpenny Tower as its resident "courtesan" in the year 2277.
Background
Susan is a former slaver that left Paradise Falls. Grouse indicates this may have involved slitting the throat of another slaver during her departure.
Susan is the Tenpenny Tower escort. Doctor Banfield is with her each Tuesday and Thursday, Herbert Dashwood is with her every Sunday, and every Saturday she's with Allistair Tenpenny himself. Often Susan can be found drinking in the Federalist Lounge, shopping, or grabbing something to eat in the Café Beau Monde. On Susan's desk is a love letter from a certain husband whose wife might not take too kindly to the realization that her husband is cheating on her.[1]
Daily schedule
Susan can be found in a different bed every night of the week between 10PM and midnight, always wearing sexy sleepwear. On Monday, she's in Wellington's bed, the Doctor has her both Tuesday and Thursday night, she's with Hawthorne on Wednesday, Mr. Cheng on Friday, and Sunday nights are spent with Dashwood. Even after moving in with Mister Burke, she continues her weekly rounds, and never gets around to sharing a bed with him. She has an affair with every man in Tenpenny Tower, except Anthony Ling, who is implied to be a homosexual.

- "Well, well. What have we here? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Susan Lancaster. Perhaps we can become better acquainted, in the near future?"

Bugs
- Susan's corpse may continue to change outfits, following the schedule mentioned above, unless you have removed both outfits from her corpse. [platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
- Susan is subject to the same bug as other Tenpenny Tower residents, where if you kill her anywhere in the wasteland, the Tenpenny Tower guards will turn hostile toward you. [platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
- If you mezz her in Tenpenny's quarters after shutting the door, it is possible the guards will not turn hostile. [platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
- Whenever you mezz her and take her outfit, another one comes back immediately. You can change her outfit by taking her old outfit and replacing it with a new one. [verified]
- When Susan is in bed with Edgar, Millicent can be found looking down at both of them, yet she does not attack the two unless the letter is given to her. [platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
- If you mezz Susan while she is wearing sexy sleepwear, she will immediately equip her pre-War spring outfit. [platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
- Susan will die if she is in the Paradise Falls slave pen when Millicent is given the love letter. [platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
- Susan will die if she is in the Paradise Falls slave pen when completing Tenpenny Tower favoring the ghouls. That said, she will still be affected by the disappearing corpses glitch in Tenpenny Tower's basement (Metro access & generator), thus, her body can't be found in the pen.
