Aubrey Wilson
The Sole Survivor
General Aubrey Juana Wilson- West (a.k.a. Charmer)
The Pre-War Vault Dweller of Vault 111, Aubrey Wilson is the 5'11, angry mama-bear incarnate out to rescue her son. She follows the Minutemen path told in the game, with only two major variations. One is that she romances Detective Nick Valentine, and the other is that she is not the one to destroy the Institute, rather she leads a hostile takeover with the Minutemen with every intention of putting the scientific discoveries of the Institute to good use. However, the SRB foils her plans by blowing themselves to smithereens.

Social
Contacts & Relations
- Mayor Geneva of Diamond City - Aubrey maintains a polite and professional relationship with Geneva after McDonough is exposed and killed, even though Diamond City is not officially a Minuteman settlement.
- Mayor Hancock of Goodneighbor - Aubrey maintains a good friendship with Mayor Hancock. She's helped him with several 'off the books' tasks in Goodneighbor, and even has an apartment to her name, although it's mostly used by Dr. Amari and Agent Deacon as a Railroad safehouse. She doesn't approve of his drug habit, but they've reached an 'agree-to-disagree' sentiment.
- Elder Arthur Maxson of the E.C. Brotherhood of Steel - Aubrey has a strained but civil relationship with Elder Maxson. She absolutely does not like him, and thinks that he is far too young to be leading an army or nation or both. Her respect for the Elder dropped even lower after he ordered the then-Paladin Danse's execution. After the Commonwealth Faction War, she negotiates and signs a non-aggression pact with him to keep their respective foot soldiers from opening fire on one another.
- Desdemona of the Railroad - Aubrey maintains a polite and professional relationship with Desdemona after the Commonwealth Faction War. She doesn't see eye-to-eye with many of Desdemona's choices regarding the direction the Railroad will take, but maintains her position as an agent for them to help the remaining synths find safe homes after the destruction of the Institute. When the Railroad eventually disbands, the two lose contact.

Wealth & Financial state
Aubrey came from a family whose financial situation was perpetually less-than-ideal. Her father was an alcoholic, and his substance abuse grew in combination with his depression after the death of his wife. That being said, he was never cruel to his children and always made sure they were kept fed and clean and healthy. By the time she graduated high school, she had a small savings to her name, as well as a few government grants to help see her through college.
During her time in the military, she was able to amass some more savings as the majority of her needs for food, housing, and medical care were taken care of by the military. She received a healthy cash bonus for her assistance in closing out the 'Psycho Soldiers" case.
When she resigns and begins working with the theater troupe, she has enough funds to last her for several years, between what she's saved and her husband's military pension, to the point where neither of them find an issue with purchasing their robotic butler, Codsworth. The birth of her first child, Shaun, did throw a bit of a wrench into the works, and by the time Shaun is 4 months old, both she and Nathan would have been searching for jobs had the apocalypse not happened.
After the Great War, Aubrey's first several months find her decidedly poor. She finds herself facing true food insecurity for the first time in her life during the winter of 2287. But eventually, through acts of kindness and goodwill, she eventually begins to amass favors from the various Wastelanders. The closest she comes to having a true income again is the brief time she's a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, but mostly uses the funds she received during that time to purchase property in Diamond City.
By the end of the Commonwealth Faction War, she's rather well off compared to most Wastelanders. She's healthy, has a multitude of friends, has a safe place to live, and isn't worried about being able to feed her children.
